Guest Column: Mike Todd, Grain Valley Fair Committee

by Mike Todd, Grain Valley Fair Committee

     The 2021 Grain Valley Fair is in the books, and I have to say that it was a great one.  We loved seeing the large crowds come out and all the smiling faces having a good time after having to take 2020 off. 
     We were a bit rusty getting it all together, but with the help from a lot of people and the support of our great sponsors I think it was great.  We are already looking forward to 2022 and will work to make it even better.  Make sure to follow us on Facebook at Grain Valley Fair because we will be looking for suggestions for music for next year and any Fair info is always found first there.
     We do want to thank the following people who volunteered to help us at the Fair or in the planning process:
 
Steve, Carol, Tosha, and Harper Todd
Tasha, Matt, and Matthew Lindsey
Scott Shafer
Lynn and David Berend
Darren Mills
Cory Unrein
Brian Schoonover
Justin Tyson
and all the Grain Valley Parks and Recreation Staff, Public Works Staff, and Police Department who helped throughout.
