Parade Grand Marshal -- 2025
Jack & Ann Donaldson
Jack and Ann Donaldson are serving as the 2025 Kincaid Fair Grand Marshals. Jack grew up near Selma and Ann was raised in the Lone Elm area.
Jack is the son of Bill and Mary Donaldson and Ann, the daughter of Rollin and Rachel Herynk. They grew up in families that were huge supporters of the fair.
Neither have they missed but a few Kincaid Fair weekends in 75 years.
Jack and Ann both attended Kincaid High School. After they were married and started a family, they lived in several places, but the fair was the one big event of the year that they always scheduled a trip home to attend. Their family has lived all around the Midwest, including the Nebraska, Mound City, Fort Scott, Meridan, Moran Kincaid, as well as, Hindsville, AZ and other locations. They finally settled in Colony in 2023. Jack has worked as a mechanic and as a construction superintendent. When they lived in Moran, they owned and operated Hedge Apple Acres Bed & Breakfast for several years. While living in Topeka and Kansas City, Ann worked as a professional wall covering installer and painter. Ann remembers one job fondly - she was the foreman on a job for a KC Royals outfielder, Bo Jackson. After moving to Moran, she began her own painting business. The brightly colored pickup she was known to drive on the job made her easily recognizable. She retired in 2023.
Jack and Ann have eight children, 14 grandchildren, and 3 great-grand children. Tey also were foster parents to more than 50 children, 5 of whom never left and are now their kids. Their oldest daughters placed in the Fair's baby contest in 1967, 1968 and 1969.
Jack and Ann can be seen helping out as needed, preparing for the fair. For several years, they have been in charge of the Friday Night Bingo.
Congradulations, Jack and Ann.
