GENERAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Don was born to Roy Andrew
and Mary Strachn Childress on
March 4, 1936 in Dyersburg,
Tennessee. He was married
to Judy Bargery Childress and
they made their home in the
community that he loved, Bogota.
He was a faithful husband, a great
father and a devoted Christian.
Don graduated Dyersburg High
School and served in the U.S.
Army before returning to Dyer
County to continue his family’s
farming operation. In 2009,
Childress Farms was recognized
as a Century Farm recipient.
The improvement of Bogota
and Dyer County was of utmost
importance to Don. Through his
active participation in various
organizations, he worked
tirelessly to make his community
a wonderful place to live. Most
of his work was not to benefit
himself, but he volunteered to
help all of those around him. Don
and his wife Judy were active in
the Bogota community, working
hard to raise funds to support
the Bogota Community Center.
Don was a life-long member and
treasurer of the Bogota Church
of Christ. He was President of
Elbridge Water Association and
was a Dyer County Commissioner
for 14 years. He also served
on various other boards and
organizations including: Dyer
County Farm Bureau, Bogota
Drainage District, and the Bogota
Volunteer Fire Department.
Don and Judy were
married for 54 years and
have five children: Julie
Childress Moore,
Wally Childress,
Tony Childress,
Jill Childress
Friedmann and
Jennifer Childress
Hampton. His
grandchildren
are: Drew, Dale,
Doug, Kathy,
Olivia, Emma, Trey,
Ellie, Adam and
Mallory; and great-
grandchildren, Carter,
Jared, Jace Aiden, Ace and
Jacks.
The Dyer County Fair holds
special memories for the Childress
family. Don had a fondness
for hogs as shown in his active
support of the Dyer County Junior
Market Livestock Association.
He seldom missed a night of the
fair. He was most often spotted,
with fiddlestick in hand, visiting
with folks on a bench at the food
pavilion.
Anyone that knew Don knows
that his family was the delight and
loves of his life. His children say
that, “Daddy was the most loving,
giving and determined man. He
taught us to love God and family
and the value of hard work. He
will forever be missed, but we are
so blessed to have had him as our
Daddy. We try every day to make
him proud because he always
made us proud.”
Don lived with a simple
philosophy – to make the world a
little better than how he found it.
That is why he was so dedicated
to his home in Bogota and Dyer
County. He always said that
going down the bluff and crossing
the Obion River Bridge was like
entering his heaven on Earth.

Letter from the Fair Board President:
Mr. Joseph Townson
Greetings!
As President of the Dyer County Fair Association, I would like to
welcome you to the 66th annual Dyer County Fair. Whether you are
visiting for the first time or you are a lifelong attendant, we hope the
fun and excitement of this unique tradition will bring you back for
many years to come. From our humble beginnings in 1947, to this
year’s event, the Dyer County Fair has continued to celebrate our
sense of community through agriculture, art, and families for many
years.
We have an exciting week full of entertainment, contests, pageants,
and demonstrations planned. This fun filled event provides our
community with the opportunity to participate in the week’s events
and to showcase our county’s best. I can vividly remember the
excitement I felt during my first fair experience at the old fairgrounds
on Harrell Avenue years ago. My wish is that you and your family
will experience the same excitement I did and that I have every year
since.
This outstanding event would not be possible without the generous
support of our sponsors, volunteers, board members, families, local
businesses, government, and everyone who participates in this six day
event. On behalf of the board, I would like to say “Thank You” for
your hard work and dedication in making our fair a premier event in
West Tennessee.
I would also like to thank my wife Kerrie and our daughter Kloye,
for their continued support for me as I have served on the board and
now as I serve as president of the Dyer County Fair.
From our family to yours, we hope you have “A Bloomin’ Good
Time” at the Dyer County Fair!
Joseph Townson

Josh Abbott Band is a country band from the state
of Texas. They will playing Saturday at the FCNB
Amphitheater.
According to their website:
Weeks before its Valentine’s Day release on
iTunes, the Josh Abbott Band’s “Touch” was
already well on its way toward being one of the
most talked-about songs in Texas music of 2012.
Granted, the hot-streak momentum of Abbott’s
career had a lot to do with that. In the wake of
the breakout success of “Oh, Tonight” (which
climbed to No. 44 on Billboard’s country chart)
and the title track from 2010’s regional smash
“She’s Like Texas,” created a stir that reached all
the way to music executives in Nashville and New
York City. That set up pretty much any track that
the 31-year-old singer-songwriter picked to be the
lead single from his band’s much-anticipated third
album nicely, ensuring it was bound to garner a fair
amount of attention. But from the very first time it
was played in concert or over the airwaves, it was
clear that “Touch” had a lot more going for it than
just good timing. From the erotic tension and release of
its slow-burning verses and soaring chorus to the dramatic
crescendo of fiddle and guitars at the outro, it’s a song that
captures every ounce of the passion, talent, and vision that’s
propelled the Josh Abbott Band to the forefront of the Texas
music scene in record time. And as the rest of Small Town
Family Dream proves convincingly, they’re here to stay.
Truth is, that’s been pretty evident for a while now —
even though the Josh Abbott Band has only been recording
and touring for half a decade. Abbott didn’t even begin
writing songs until around 2004, when he was still in
grad school at Texas Tech in Lubbock. A diehard Texas
country fan, he’d picked up guitar a few years earlier,
mainly to strum along to his favorite Pat Green songs. He
vividly recalls the epiphany he had at a concert one night
at Lubbock’s Blue Light when the notion of writing and
playing his own music — maybe even for a living — first
took root.
“It happened
to be the Randy
Rogers Band
playing that
night, but it
could have
been Pat or
Wade Bowen or
Cory Morrow, any of those guys that I saw over the years,”
Abbott explains. “I always had this fascination with what
they were doing. I’d go to their concerts and there’d be
hundreds if not thousands of college kids singing along.
That night at the Blue Light, I just remember watching
the band and thinking, I want to do this…I think I can do
this.”
SATURDAY-September8
Saturday - September 7 - 8:00p.m. at the FCNB Amphitheater
Jeff Whitlow & The Old Barn Band will present a tribute to
George Jones Thursday at the FCNB Amphitheater.
If you look up Traditional Country Music in the dictionary,
you would find the name Jeff Whitlow right there along with
Merle Haggard, George Jones, Vern Gosdin and Johnny Cash.
With his delightfully strong, baritone, country voice he has
attained much respect from across teh country in the last few
years. Whether he is singing a Merle Haggard ballard, or
lightning fast tune from George Jones, the results are always
the same. You get an extremely fascinated crowd and the
entire audience can’t contain from clapping their hands, or
tapping their toes to the pounding traditional country beat.

SORGHUM VALLEY
Sorghum Valley is a miniature settlement in a quaint country atmosphere surrounding the Old Sorghum Mill– a scene from
Dyer County’s pioneer days. Cross over the covered bridge where the sweet sounds of bluegrass and gospel music can be
heard throughout the valley.
A tour down Sorghum Valley’s wooden sidewalk gives you a glimpse of yesteryear’s businesses. Sorghum valley has
everything from a funeral parlor with horse drawn carriage to a Dyersburg Cotton Products exhibit with one of their
machines from its opening in 1928.
Come by Thursday morning for the sorghum recipe contest and your chance to try some on a biscuit!
