SJC Fair Board

Barbara Bevens, Board Chair - At Large

Barbara Bevens, Board Chair - At Large

I am a retired teacher from Griffin Bay School, currently serving on the School Board. Our family has lived on the island since 2006, and spent summers since 1959. We have participated in all of those many fairs in Junior Arts and Crafts, Photography, Canning and Fiber Arts and 4-H, and most recently as vendors.

I've been involved with the fair since the early 80's, from barrel racing to art. My favorite part of the fair is the chicken race, which my grandpa Leonard Knowles started.

Brandon couldn't imagine a better job than being a part of the County Fair. Who doesn't love goats and corn dogs?! He can't wait for the Fair to be back in person this year and getting to share it with the community!
