We are saddened to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton. On August 1, 1974 Dolly performed at the McLean County Fair, launching her solo career. It is an honor to say that our fair was part of her incredible career. Provided is the page from the 1974 fair book advertising her performance. We send our condolences to her family and fans. 🩷

This week many Agents in our District are volunteering at the McLean County Fair.

People taking care of people, right here in our community, face to face and building relationships.

We helped kick off the fair by serving free ice cream donated by COUNTRY Financial to all 4-H exhibitors and their families on Tuesday night.

Staying true to their farming roots and philosophy of hard work and building relationships, Illinois Farm Bureau President Philip Nelson, Illinois Farm Bureau and COUNTRY Mutual Board member Brian Dirks as well as McLean County Farm Bureau President Darren Davis and McLean County Farm Bureau Manager Anna Ziegler rolled up their sleeves and scooped ice cream to round out this grass roots evening.
