I am very excited about
working at my 2nd Grant
County Fair. I love being in-
volved with a great fair team,
fair board and sponsors that are
helping us make great changes
at the Grant Count Fair. I know
I look forward to spending fair
week with you and your family
along with mine.
Grant County has been a wonderful place to be raised
and to raise my 3 children with my husband Toby. I am
now overjoyed to show my 3 beautiful grandbabies how
wonderful our community is.
Fair number 6 for me and I still
get excited about each one. Some
things you might not know about
me are… I love to go on motorcycle
trips on our Honda Gold Wing and
spend time in some great camp
grounds in our pop up tent that we
pull behind the motorcycle…I really
enjoy golf, gardening, reading, and
spending time with family and friends. Make sure and
stop me anytime during Fair as that is another thing that I
enjoy talking to you about: things going on at YOUR
Grant County Fairgrounds.
Dusty Williams -
Grant county fair groundskeeper
My beautiful wife Stephanie
Williams and I moved to Grant
County in 1993. I worked for 18
years for Prairie Wood Products
until it closed down. I have been at
the Fairgrounds now for 3 years and
I really enjoy seeing all the kids here
at Fair and for our many other
events. I love living in Grant County
where I can hunt and fish.
Our sons Cody and Lane, two wonderful young men,
have settled here in John Day along with our grandsons
Kayson and Jaxson. They are well established in the com-
munity and it looks like two more Williams for the base-
ball team.
I believe with the support of the Fair Management,
Grant County Fair Board, our Volunteers and the County
Court we can make OUR Grant County Fair better every
year for everyone to enjoy for years to come.

HOPE YOU HAVE
A GREAT TIME AT THE FAIR !
