Message from the Fair Board

Dick and Crettia Fawcett of Afton, Okla. attended their first Kincaid Fair in 1968  when they moved to Kincaid with their preschool daughter and newborn son. Dick  was the area representative for Kansas Gas and Electric and Crettia was a hairdresser.  During their time in Kincaid, both Dick & Crettia volunteered helping as their  jobs allowed. Dick served on the board of directors for many years. He was elected  secretary and served that position for four years. He also helped to chair the Queen  contest. Because of his knowledge and expertise in electricity he was often called to  judge 4-H exhibits. Crettia devoted her time at the fair helping with the quilt department. After their retirement in 1985, the Fawcett’s moved to the Grand Lake  area but still returned to attend the next 38 fairs, and counting. They are both seen  in the exhibit hall helping out with whenever help is needed, either hanging quilts  or carrying exhibits for those who need help or just visiting with friends. Dick and  Crettia’s family included her daughter, Shane and her husband, Ruby Lee and their  sons Tyler and Travis, and his wife Alana. Their son, Rich and his wife Rebecca also  have two children, a daughter Alanna, a son Logan and his wife, Stephanie. Their  great-grandchildren are Ace, Candence and Abby. Thank you to the Fawcett family  for a lifetime of supporting the Kincaid Fair.
