“True Grit,” our theme this year depicts the kind of people we are
in Texas County and the surrounding communities. True Grit has
traditionally been a phrase you hear a lot around Hitch. But with record
drought, and all it brings: the extra watering, the labor, and almost a
sense of “forgotten-ness,” we are a people who have been here before,
and survived- even flourished.
We welcome back the Oklahoma City Zoo and their traveling collection, with Amy Stevens. They’ll set up Friday evening just outside the fair building’s entrance.
Historically, fairs are a representation of the handiworks of a people. Texas County has a well-rounded people with a well-rounded collection of handiworks. And there is literally, something for everyone to enter. As for the 94th Annual Panhandle Exposition Texas County Fair, “the show will go on!”
