A RESOLUTION | To recognize the importance of Ohio's county fairs | 1 |
|
and to urge continued state support for those | 2 |
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO: WHEREAS, County fairs have played an integral part in the | 4 |
lives of Ohio citizens for well over one hundred years; and | 5 |
WHEREAS, In the past, county fairs served as an opportunity | 6 |
for rural residents to socialize as well as share information and | 7 |
ideas regarding agricultural activities; and | 8 |
WHEREAS, County fairs have evolved since their early days. | 9 |
Today's county fairs provide not only continued opportunities for | 10 |
the display and exchange of agricultural information and ideas, | 11 |
but also opportunities for children and youth to complete and | 12 |
submit for display and judging projects on numerous scientific, | 13 |
agricultural, and arts topics; and | 14 |
WHEREAS, The value of today's county fairs to Ohio's | 15 |
communities and its children and youth far outweighs the monetary | 16 |
investment in the operation of the fairs. It is therefore | 17 |
imperative that state support for county fairs continue as an | 18 |
investment in the state's future; now therefore be it | 19 |
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 129th | 20 |
General Assembly of the State of Ohio, recognize the importance of | 21 |
Ohio's county fairs and urge continued state support for those | 22 |
fairs; and be it further | 23 |
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly | 24 |
authenticated copies of this resolution to the news media of Ohio. | 25 |
