County officials expressed a warm “Thank You” to all who attended with the fair’s theme of “Raising the Steaks!.” Latoski adds that “we especially appreciate and acknowledge the Mohave County Sheriff's Office in making it a safe and successful event.” The county fair organizers believe the combination of the sponsors, multiple organizations, performers, exhibitors, 4concessionaires, and vendors, collectively made it a fun-filled fair experience all enjoyed. County employees, volunteers, and support staff were a critical and successful alliance of team players who made all of the parts a vibrant whole.
