Clay County Fair’s Entry for “Program to Correct an Issue or Problem Related to a Competitive or Non- Competitive Agriculture Program”
The Early Florida Pioneer Village at our fair is one of the
most popular exhibits during the fair. During last year’s fair, a survey of Fair guests resulted in the Early Florida Village being voted the second most popular event. This was sec- ond on to the Pig Races. The problem our Fair adopted to correct involved this his-
toric village. The problem was the appearance of the trash cans. The village portrays life in the early 1900’s in Clay
County. The village includes actual homestead houses, a replica church, Penney Farms Jailhouse, Penney Farms Schoolhouse, Maguire Commissary, syrup house and many other buildings to complete a village setting. There are a total of 24 buildings plus static displays that make up the village at Fair-time. The village creates a hands-son experience of life in the
old days. The experience is enhanced by bluegrass music, food sampling, clogging, and church choir singing through out the Fair. Pictures of the village along the tree lined street showed
the modern barrel trash receptacles. In other words, it stuck out like a sore thumb. We even had feedback from the guests about the number, the covers etc. Soooo, we decided to fix the problem. Our Director in charge of the village submitted a $1,000
capital budget improvement request for rough cut lumber to build 14 trash can holders for the cans. The cost of the lumber was $840.40. The labor was free from the Director. The final cost to accomplish the project was $60 each. The result was terrific. The new holders blended with the
village and its décor. The trash receptacles were needed due to the sampling in the village. This was another step in improving our village to restore the atmosphere of yester- year, but still have the needed efficiencies of serving to- day’s guests.
