WINNEMUCCA - Sponsors of the Tri-County Fair & Stampede might not say much with their mouths, but their pocketbooks speak volumes about their commitment to Humboldt County and its largest, most well attended event.
"Without our sponsors we would be sunk," said Kim Petersen, Director of the Ag District No. 3, which organizes the annual Tri-County Fair & Stampede. "They are the true secrets to our success, because in reality, without our sponsors, we could not enjoy a weekend like this."
This year's Tri-County Fair sponsors include individuals, franchise businesses, home-grown concerns and corporate giants, but Petersen said each has made a statement through their monetary and other donations that help make the annual event a hit.
"And their contributions mean the world to us," said Petersen. "We just can't do enough to thank these folks."
Tri-County Fair Board Chairman Darrel Field also wished to thank the residents in Humboldt, Lander and Pershing counties for supporting the vendors and patronizing the events that make up the Labor Day weekend. "They help make this all possible," said Field.
Field also sent out a big thanks to all the people who purchase booth space to sell their wares and services. He continued, "Thank you to the dozens and dozens of people who 'sponsor' this weekend by donating their time. We couldn't do it without them." Field added, "They don't get enough credit, but we sure do appreciate all they do for us."
