Congratulating a long-time 4-H and FFA volunteer

They held the ceremonial kick-off dinner for the Great Jones County Fair in Eastern Iowa last night and one of the things they traditionally do is induct a deserving person into the "Fair Hall of Fame".  Last night's honoree is a guy who has spent countless hours volunteering his time to help 4-H and FFA members enter and exhibit their projects at not only the Jones County level but also at the State Fair.  Congratulations to Lowell Tiedt:
