The longevity of the Lincoln County Fair could not be possible without the countless volunteers that make it happen. Each year the Fair Board names a “Friend of the Fair” acknowledging the contributions of time and talent. It is our honor to name

Darryl Mordt the 2024 Friend of the Fair!

Darryl has been involved with the fair for 40+ years and was one of the original board members that was involved in acquiring the current fairgrounds property when the fair outgrew the city park area. Darryl has spent countless hours working on new building

construction and getting the fairgrounds in top shape for each year’s fair. He is the owner of Mordt Tractor and graciously allows the fair to use equipment to prepare the grounds each year.

Darryl was the Beer Garden Chairperson for many years and was selected as the Chairman in 2001. He continues volunteering at the fair announcing the truck and tractor pulls. He is also a longtime buyer at the livestock auction. He may have shared some of his “Poverty Hill Well Water” with you on sale night while sporting his

Hee Haw bib overalls! Family member’s of Darryl have followed his example of volunteering and are actively involved with the fair.

From the Lincoln County Fairboard, a heartfelt thank you Darryl for all that you have done for the fair and continue to do!!
