FAIR BOARD

Did you know that our Board of Directors are volunteers? They donate hundreds of hours throughout the year to ensure that you have the best Fair and Fairgrounds possible.

Tony Havens

(Lewiston)

Tony was appointed to the Board in 2010. He has been in and around the fair for over 30 years as a 4-H member, parent, 4-H leader and a Board Member. He grew up near the fairgrounds, so the availability to enjoy the fair was easy. Tony celebrated many Birthdays at the fair. His own children were part of 4-H and the fair as well. Raising sheep and steers for the Fair has always been a passion of his that continues on today. During this time, he has seen many small, and some large, improvements take place and he hopes for many more in the near future. His enthusiasm is appreciated.

Joanie Wittman

(Lewiston)

Joanie was appointed to the Board in 2022. Joanie has a long history of being involved with 4-H and FFA, both as a member and later helping her two sons with their projects. She is interested in improving the infrastructure of the fairgrounds. Joanie has volunteered in the needlework department for years, as well as wherever else needed. She wants to make sure fairgoers, participants and vendors all have a great experience. Joanie’s enthusiasm and willingness to help wherever needed is greatly appreciated.

Patti Schmitt

(Lewiston)

Patti was appointed to the Board in 2023. She has had a lifelong involvement in 4-H as a child, mother of 4-Hers and now as a grandma. She has also volunteered in the Open Classes at Fair time. She loves that the fairgrounds is used for so many diverse events and activities. While Patti is our newest member, we appreciate her willingness to jump in and do what’s needed, learning along the way.
