2013 Grand Marshals
Bob and Pat Salter have been involved with some aspect of the Hamilton County Fair and Parade since the early 1970s. Bob’s special interest has always been the tractors, he used to help his dad with the tractors and carried on that tradition after his father's passing.
Pat has been a 4-H leader, a Fair Superintendent, and filled many other roles contributing time and energy to the fair. Please join the Hamilton County Fair Board in Honoring this couple as leaders and contributors to our 4-H kids, fair and parade, and our community.
