FAIR SUPPORTER

Elaine Wintrow

Elaine Wintrow Supporter of the Year

Elaine Wintrow of Covington, Ohio has been selected as the Miami County Fair Supporter of the Year! Elaine recently “retired” from the Miami County Fair Board where she was an active board member since 1992.

Being a fair board member does not define who Elaine is though. As a youth, Elaine was involved in 4-H and continued throughout her adulthood which included being a 4-H Advisor for many years while she was raising her children. It didn’t stop there – Elaine has had a solid tenure in the 4-H program for over 60 years.

As a fair board member, Elaine has held many roles that have included Jr. Fair Board Advisor, has served on most committees and chaired several including dog, horse, Jr. Fair Board advisor, etc. but most will remember her for her involvement with Quality Assurance and data entry.

During fair week, you may not “see” Elaine, but you know she is present from dawn to dusk or even later working tirelessly in the Jr. Fair Office; inputting all of the entries and making sure the results and reports are correct.

Elaine is the person who will show up whenever anything needs to be done at the fairgrounds. She understands it takes more than one week a year to make the fair a success!

Elaine has been on the 4-H Advisory Committee of Miami County and spent many years on the annual 4-H BBQ committee.

You will always see Elaine working at the Miami County Food Truck Rally & Competition and she spends many hours prior to fair getting ShoWorks set up and making sure entries are correct.

In Miami County when you think of the fair or 4-H; Elaine is one of the first people that comes to mind! Even with her retirement from the fair board; we are sure she will still be present!
