A Message From The President It is my privilege to personally welcome each of you to the

2014 Rapides Parish Fair, our 54th year and our 1st year at

our new site. We have worked diligently to have the site

ready for the 2014 fair. It is our hope that you enjoy the new

home of the Rapides Fair and will support the fair as you

have done in the past.

A special welcome to all the 4-H, FFA and adult exhibitors,

we trust we serve you well in our new facilities and programs

offered. Improvements have been made in the livestock, agri-

culture, home economics, special school and commercial

exhibit areas which add to the convenience of those who

come to display and compete and those present to observe.

The Board of Directors of the Fair Association are working

constantly to make it bigger and better every year. This pro-

gress can be realized through the efforts of the Board of Di-

rectors and the full support of the Rapides Parish Police Jury,

the cities of Alexandria and Pineville, business and civic

groups and individuals working together to assure the suc-

cess of the fair. We urge you to continue to support and en-

courage our youth, for the betterment of themselves, our par-

ish, our state and our nation.

We hope that all will gain much information, inspiration and

entertainment from the many activities available for you at this

year’s Rapides Fair.
