In the fall of 2024, Bailey Real joined our board as a Fair Director, bringing with him a boundless enthusiasm for agriculture and a clear vision for our community. His dedication was evident in every conversation and plan, and his passion for farming, livestock, and the agricultural community was infectious, AS WELL AS HIS LAUGH. 

Though Bailey will not be present at the 2025 Fair that he worked so diligently to bring to life, his spirit and commitment continue to inspire us. As we move forward, we do so in honor of Bailey’s memory—carrying on his vision for the Marshall-Putnam Fair to grow, thrive, and continue creating unforgettable memories for generations to come.
