When people in Montgomery County think of the Montgomery County Fair, they think of the Strickland family.
Both Lee and LaVern were 4-H members as youth. Lee was a county officer while in 4-H. Later, Lee became a 4-H leader. They worked with the Montgomery County 4-H Fair static exhibit superintendents for many years. Lee has been very instrumental in making many improvements on the county fairgrounds.
Lee served on the Montgomery County Fair Board as a director, secretary, vice president, and president. Lee also served as vice-presidenet of the 5th district of the Iowa Fair Association of Fairs for 4 years.
They both served the youth and the county fair for over 40 years. Their children and grandchildren have been involved in 4-H and exhibited at the county fair. They have helped make the county fair a great event for everyone.
