[August 16, 2011]  SPRINGFIELD -- Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka recently recognized the Logan County Fair on its 75th anniversary and saluted fair representatives for their efforts to promote agriculture and strengthen community through the annual event.

As part of "County Fair Day" at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield, Topinka presented county fair leaders from throughout the state with proclamations celebrating anniversary milestones. Topinka specifically congratulated Dean Bruns and Mike Maske from Logan County.

"It is remarkable that Logan County has carried on this great tradition for 75 years," Topinka said. "County fairs are often a great source of pride and the highlight of the summer for residents, providing an opportunity to bring neighbors together while promoting agriculture."

The Logan County Fair is one of the 104 Illinois county fairs that make up the Illinois Association of Agricultural Fairs, better known as the IAAF. The organization promotes entrepreneurs and vendors supporting the fair industry.
