New Clay County Fair General Mgr. Looking Forward To Opening Day

August 26, 2023 Steve Schwaller

(Spencer)– The new General Manager of the Clay County Fair says he’s excited and looking forward to the fair’s opening day. Jerome Hertel tells KUOO news he’s fully transitioned into the position and preparations have been going smoothly…

“I feel good about preparations for the fair. You know I have a very knowledgeable staff. I was very blessed to have the staff that I do to walk into this fair and have such a talented, experienced staff that know what they’re doing. You know I just have to support them in any way I can but they’re the real ones that put on this fair and schedule a lot of the things and the programs and all of the logistics and all of the behind scenes and things you don’t see, so.”

A special event for media was held Friday in advance of the fair. We’ll hear additional comments from Hertel on what to expect at this year’s Clay County Fair coming up in future newscasts.

The 2023 Clay County Fair powered by SMU runs September 9th-17th.
