Dyer County Fair in Memory of

Mr. Stallings Lipford - A Legacy of Caring The Officers and Directors are proud to dedicate the 2012 Dyer County Fair and this Fair book to: Mr. Stallings Lipford 1930 to 2011 Each year, the Fair Board searches for an outstanding citizen of this community who has made a difference in the lives of families who call Dyer County home. This year, we have chosen a gentleman who genuinely loved and cared for this community, and who was a dedicated advocate of the Dyer County Fair. Stallings Lipford was a beloved and respected leader, both in banking and within the community he served. He began his financial career at First Citizens National Bank, in 1950. His outstanding interpersonal and leadership skills resulted in him being named President of the Bank in 1970, followed by the designation of CEO and Chairman of the Board over the ensuing years. In 2005, Mr. Lipford was named Chairman Emeritus, a position he held until his death in 2011, ending a career that spanned more than six decades. The Dyer County Fair always held a special place in his heart, and he made every effort to involve First Citizens and its employees in every way he could imagine. The event closest to his heart took place on Thursday of Fair Week, a day sponsored by the bank. It was called “Senior Day at the Fair” and that day always found a multitude of FCNB employees at the fairgrounds early in the day, involved in entertaining what appeared to be every senior citizen in Dyer County. Food preparation began the night before and continued until the last burger was served around mid-day. Everything, including admission to the fair was free, with seniors arriving by the bus load. Tents, chairs and tables had been set up and BBQ grills were spreading the wonderful aroma of sizzling burgers throughout the fair grounds. To the delight of those in

attendance, Mr. Lipford was always present, with cigar in tow, to share a laugh and a handshake with all guests. Entertainment always included Bingo games with prizes of every description. Local talent provided songs and music to the delight of everyone in attendance. The highlight of his afternoon was the report from Stallings’ son Phil, telling him how many guests were in attendance and how it compared to the prior year’s event. “Senior Day at the Fair” remains an integral part of the Dyer County Fair to this day, and is a favorite event of employees of First Citizens and senior citizens throughout the community. The relocation of the Dyer County Fair to the new Community Park in 1990, was an exciting event for the community. Mr. Lipford wanted First Citizens to have a major presence, but was not quite sure what that might be. A visit from Charles Cowles, one of many volunteers who worked to make Community Park, the fairgrounds and later Sorghum Valley a reality, introduced an idea that was embraced by Mr. Lipford. Charles requested that First Citizens sponsor an Amphitheater that could be used to house many of the events that occur annually at the Dyer County Fair. Since sponsoring the original construction, First Citizens has funded two Amphitheater upgrades and added additional seating. First Citizens later “chartered” First Citizens National Bank of Sorghum Valley, an operational replica of the bank, as it might have appeared in 1889. For more than 60 years, Stallings

Lipford worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life in Dyer County. As Chairman of the Dyer County Industrial Board, he played a major role in bringing jobs to the local community. He was an outspoken advocate for programs and projects he felt important to the citizens in this community. He recognized and appreciated the role of Dyersburg State Community College. He supported the college with his time and personal resources as well as those of First Citizens, and in 1993 made the first financial commitment to the Dyersburg State Community College Foundation with a pledge from the bank and its Board of Directors that ultimately exceeded half-amillion dollars. Stallings Lipford will be missed by many. He truly left “A Legacy of Caring” and “A Life Well Lived.”

Letter from the Fair Board President: Mr. Jeremiah Hollingsworth As president of this year’s Dyer County Fair Board, I made it my mission to bring our fair back to its down home roots. I’ve grown up at the fairgrounds showing hogs, watching the tractor pull, and eating from our local vendors, and I wanted my community to experience those same memories this year. I hope your fair days and nights are centered around Dyer County’s strengths and my passions: agriculture, local businesses, and a sense of community. Seeing as how one man can’t put on the show all by himself, I would like to thank my wife Tevvy for her continued support during my tenure as president. I would also like to show my appreciation to the officers and board of directors for the Dyer County Fair. Lots of long hours have gone into this year’s fair, and I hope it means as much to you and your family as it has to mine.

SATURDAY - September 8

Saturday - September 8 - 8:00p.m. at the FCNB Amphitheater

Joe Diffie is a country music singer known for his ballads and novelty songs. Between 1990 and 2004, Diffie charted thirty-five cuts on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, including five number one singles including “Home,” “If the Devil Danced,” “Third Rock From the Sun,” “Pickup Man,” (his longest lasting number one at four weeks) and “Bigger than the Beatles.” In addition to these cuts, he has 12 other top ten singles and ten other top 40 hits. He also cowrote singles for Holly Dunn, Tim McGraw, and Jo Dee Messina. He has recorded with Mary Chapin Carpenter, George Jones, and Marty Stuart. His most recent album Homecoming: The Bluegrass Album was released in 2010. “I always had in mind to do a bluegrass album someday,” says Joe Diffie. “It was something I wanted from the first day that I got my country deal.” And while he might not be the first to say that, it not only has the ring of truth when you hear it straight from the man himself, it’s got a lifetime’s worth of bluegrass roots and connections to back it up. When Joe finally landed in Nashville, he took to hanging out at the bluegrass mecca, the world famous Station Inn; there he ran into another bluegrass buddy, the late Charlie Derrington, who gave him a job at Gibson Guitars. He began in the shipping department and moved up to the role of inspector—making yet another bluegrass friend along the way in fellow Gibson employee Danny Roberts, then playing with the New Tradition—but it was clear he was destined for other things. The subsequent arc of Diffie’s career can be followed in any number of sources. Even as he was racking up Top 10 hits as quickly as he could turn them out, Joe kept up his bluegrass connections, and not always in the most obvious ways. He cohosted and performed on the International Bluegrass Music Association’s annual awards show in 1993 and 1999 (the latter time in a notable appearance with the Lonesome River Band and the Del McCoury Band’s fiddler, Jason Carter), and he popped up on the legendary Ralph Stanley’s awardwinning, all-star production, Clinch Mountain Country, with a gripping rendition of “Another Night,” but he also turned over a strong co-write of his, “I Got A Feeling,” to bluegrass singer David Parmley years before he got around to recording it himself. And he kept listening, not just to the classics and

contemporary releases he’d grown up on in the 70s and 80s, but the new stuff, too. Indeed, he says, “most of what I listen to is bluegrass.” So while it might not be accurate to call this release “longawaited,” it’s surely right to say that it’s been a long time in the making, and perhaps all the better for it. This music is, quite simply, state-of-the-art bluegrass, shaped by in-depth knowledge, played by some of the finest talents available, and sung by an artist who’s already widely admired—not only in the country world, but among bluegrassers, too—as a consummate vocalist. There is no doubt that bluegrass is an indelible part of Joe Diffie’s musical make-up. Most of all, though, Joe’s just glad to have finally gotten this release out. “It’s like the stars all finally aligned,” he says with a chuckle—and for those who enjoy hearing an artist at the top of his game tackle the most demanding kind of music under the country umbrella, those stars must surely be counted as lucky ones.

Please note the change in the procedures for handling poultry at shows and exhibitions. On-site testing of poultry at shows and exhibitions will no longer be allowed. 3.

IV. Fair association or exhibition management shall inform exhibitors of the rules of this chapter, and shall notify the State Veterinarian or his agent of any violations.

This must be done in accordance with the guidelines provided by USDA Animal Health and Plant Inspection Service (APHIS). • Wethers are exempt. Wethers may be shown at Expo without Scrapie Program ear tags.

Charles Hatcher, DVM - State Veterinarian Julius Thomas Johnson - Commissioner of Agriculture Tennessee Department of Agriculture - Imported Fire Ants Movement Permit Tennessee State Fair exhibitors from the state of Tennessee will be required to get a Movement Permit (to prevent the movement of Imported Fire Ants) from their local county extension office or the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, Plant Certification Office at 615-837-5130 if they are located in a fire ant regulated area and are shipping hay or straw to non-regulated areas. The enclosed web site gives a verbal description of the boundaries of the Imported Fire Ant Quarantine in Tennessee. A map of the Imported Fire Ant Quarantined area for the United States is available at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ppq/maps/fireant.pdf.
