2022 Ross County Friend of Jr. Fair - JEan

& Dan Winters

You may have heard the saying “behind every good man is a good woman” and Ross County is so lucky to say that our Junior Fair is supported by BOTH the good man and the good woman.

This couple has been involved with the Junior Fair for decades!

Both of them are year-round champions of all Junior Fair exhibitors having volunteered as 4-H Club Advisors, Barn Superintendents, 4-H Committee, and the Junior Fair Sale Committee.

This dynamic duo are founding members of the Junior Fair Sale Committee where they served as President, Vice President, and Treasurer for over 35 years.

They recently celebrated 58 years of marriage and are the proud parents of 2 children, 5 grandchildren, … and this is the first year for their oldest of their 5 greatgrandchildren to exhibit a livestock project here at the Ross County Fair.

Dan passed away in the summer of 2022 and will be greatly missed. He’s been a longstanding presence in the show arena during all the sales since 1984 and his helpful face is surely missed. We are so proud to know Dan and Jean and are very grateful for their involvement in the Junior Fair.

Congratulations to Dan and Jean Winters as the 2022 Ross County Friend of Jr. Fair!
