Gibson County Fair Booth 2018

Gibson County Soil Conservation District Takes Home Blue Ribbon

The Gibson County Soil Conservation District along with NRCS participated in the 163rd Gibson County Fair by displaying an exhibit that won first place. The theme of the 163rd Gibson County Fair was Carnival Lights and Country Nights. The booth displayed the theme well by incorporating both agriculture and carnival into a fun environment for children and adults to enjoy. Many of the props were made by Mr. Hill Rodgers, retired GCSCD technician. Pamphlets and other handouts were provided at the exhibit to offer education on conservation to a non-traditional audience.
