Even during the challenges of 2020, the Wilson County Fair Livestock Shows proved to be a ray of sunshine for livestock exhibitors.
With all the cancellations of traditional fairs, the International Association of Fairs and Expositions updated their contests so more fairs could still compete for awards. Entries were judged by industry professionals, and awards were presented during the annual IAFE Convention held virtually in December. Winners were selected from the membership of the IAFE which has over 1,800 members from around the globe.
Wilson County received a total of 14 awards in four categories, including Agriculture Awards, Communications Awards, Sponsorship Awards and Non-Fair Facility Usage.
