Buchenroth is 2022 Hardin County Fair Honoree

The Hardin County Agricultural Society 2022 Fair Honoree is Kelly “Buck” Buchenroth.

He is being recognized for his many years of dedicated service to the Hardin County Fair.

Buchenroth spent seven years on the fair board after now retired director Jim Bidwell involved him.

The list of accomplishments Buchenroth is responsible for on the grounds is extensive, and they are all centered around a theme of fiscal responsibility.

He retired from the board after the 2020 fair.

Following the 2021 fair, Buchenroth fell ill with double pneumonia, a complication of COVID-19.

He continues to recover and is expected to make a complete recovery.

He vows that he will be back to help again this year saying, “Someone has to keep things fun around there.”
