2024: Chris Downare
This year’s Park County Fair Hall of Fame recipient is Chris Downare and wife Cheri. They are a great family and a great asset to our community, and they very much enjoy helping our kids. Chris has been known to give his auctioneer payment from the sale back to the kids, whether it’s for a project where they were short on money or for the ribbons for the Open Gymkhana. I have personally known Chris, Cheri and their family for 36 years in business and privately. I have worked with Chris outside of our Fair, he is well respected by everyone in his business and community. Chris has been our Junior Livestock Sale auctioneer for over 20 years, and I have had the privilege of being in the sale ring with Chris for all of those years. He is a professional in every sense of the word while doing our sale and with everything else he does in life. So, in closing, we are proud to call Chris, Cheri and their family our friends and we are thankful to have them in our lives. Thank you for all that you do for the Park County Fair and our community. – Johnny Green and the Park County Fair Board
