Fair Preparations Continue

TYLER — Preparations are in high gear for the East Texas State Fair. Senior Citizens of the Year nomination forms are now available to nominate area adults, “55 or better.” The fair will celebrate the 41st annual Senior Day on opening day. All active adults in that age range are admitted free on Thursday, September 23. The East Texas State Fair Senior Citizens’ Day committee will accept nomination forms and a 500-word essay detailing the nominee’s community service and involvement along with what makes them the “Senior of the Year” until August 20. Nomination forms are now available online and at the East Texas State Fair office located at 2112 West Front Street.

Also, the fair invites area artisans to begin to plan their Creative Arts Competitive Exhibits submissions. Creative Arts catalogs were mailed out last week and are now available online. If local residents are interested in participating but did not receive a catalog in the mail, they are available at the fair office. You can go to http://www.etstatefair.com for senior citizen nomination forms, Creative Arts catalogs and pre-registration forms, and additional information about the fair.
