OFMA Convention Awards

by

The Lorain County Fair Board received two awards in the area of communication at the Ohio Fair Managers Convention Awards Breakfast in Columbus held January 8, 2012. They received first place for their promotional brochure and first place for the television ad that ran on the local network. Charisse Nikel, Fair Secretary, and Tim Buchs, Fair Board Director, accepted the awards on behalf of the Fair Board.

The Fair Board was presented a certificate of recognition for the completion of an outstanding 2011 fair season. Rick Ternes, Fair Board President, accepted the certificate.

Fair Board Director Tom Hines also was recognized as “Outstanding Fair Supporter” from District 5. Former Fair Board Director Gordon Greene was inducted into the Ohio Fairs Hall of Fame for his 45 years of service with the Lorain County Fair as well as his 18 years as District 5 Director of the Ohio Fair Managers Association, just a few of his accomplishments in an extensive resume of community service.
