The 2014 Appanoose County Fair is dedicated to Curtis Sebolt

In appreciation for the many years of dedication to the Appanoose County Fair

The 2014 Appanoose County Fair is dedicated to Curtis Sebolt.

Curtis has lived in Appanoose County all of his life. He first became involved in the fair by joining the Franklin Farmhands 4-H Club as a member. Several years later he became one of their assistant leaders. He was then asked to serve on the fair board in 1973, where he served as the beef superintendent for 10 years, vice president for 5 years and president for 31 years. He has served on the board for a total of 41 years.

He became interested in the Association of Iowa Fairs and was elected to the district board, serving as vice president an then president. Several years later he advanced to the State level and served 9 years, becoming vice president and then president in 2004.

While in 4-H , Curtis received several awards, some of which were beef showmanship, Grand Champion steer, Champion Angus Steer, 4-H Chicago trip, livestock judging team, County 4-H Officer, Honorary 4-H member, Fair Dad, 4-H Hall of Fame 2004, 4-H Alumni Award 2012, Association of Iowa Fairs Hall of Fame Award for Outstanding and Dedicated Service to Iowa Fairs in 2012. He served on the Adult 4-H Committee and several others over the years.

Curtis was always willing to help out in the community whenever possible. He was selected by the Jaycees as the Outstanding young Farmer. He also helps with Pancake day by frying pancakes and still helps in the trailer mixing the batter.

The things that he enjoyed the most at the fair was helping the kids with their projects when he could. He loved to watch them get their projects prepared and then show them, not only the animals but the Home Economic projects as well.

The fair has always been a family affair, starting with Curtis’ Grandad, Jess Exline, who built the horse barn that was destroyed by fire recently. He also built some of the other buildings on the fairgrounds. Curtis’ dad served on the fair board before Curtis and now his son, Craig, has served on the board with Curtis for several years.

Curtis was an active member of a local church for 60 years, serving as treasurer for over 25 years as well as holding other positions. He is currently a member of the First Baptist Church in Unionville, Mo.

Curtis’ family has always backed him in his fair work and farming operation. They knew he would always be there to watch and help them show their projects if at all possible. He has 4 children: Connie Micetich, Craig (Debbie), Carla (Mark) Dye and Chris (Kris). He has 9 granddaughters and 7 great-grandchildren.
