2022 Fayette Co. Fair Being Dedicated in Memory of Tieken, Kuehn
The Fayette County Fair is coming up Labor Day weekend, and fair organizers have announced that this year’s event will be held in memory of two longtime fair volunteers, Barbara Tieken and Calvin Kuehn, who both donated decades of time to volunteering with the fair before their recent passing. Here’s a closer look at their legacies:
CALVIN KUEHN
The Fayette County Fair Association is proud to dedicate this fair to Calvin Kuehn who had been a member for over 57 years. Calvin followed the footsteps of his father Joe Kuehn. Volunteering through the years, Calvin was a role model to the young people who worked for him in the parking lot. He worked and saw many improvements done to the fair grounds. His “Green Thumb” is seen on the buildings, and it stands for hard work, dedication, and a vision into what the fair grounds would become. He was very involved in the growth and dreams of the fair which is voted the Favorite 4-Day Event in Fayette County.
