The Officers and Directors are proud
to dedicate the 2012 Dyer County Fair and
this Fair book to: Mr. Stallings Lipford -
1930 to 2011
Each year, the Fair Board searches for
an outstanding citizen of this community
who has made a difference in the lives
of families who call Dyer County home.
This year, we have chosen a gentleman
who genuinely loved and cared for this
community, and who was a dedicated
advocate of the Dyer County Fair.
Stallings Lipford was a beloved
and respected leader, both in banking
and within the community he served. He
began his financial career at First Citizens
National Bank, in 1950. His outstanding
interpersonal and leadership skills resulted
in him being named President of the Bank
in 1970, followed by the designation of
CEO and Chairman of the Board over the
ensuing years. In 2005, Mr. Lipford was
named Chairman Emeritus, a position he
held until his death in 2011, ending a career
that spanned more than six decades.
The Dyer County Fair always held
a special place in his heart, and he made
every effort to involve First Citizens and its
employees in every way he could imagine.
The event closest to his heart took place on
Thursday of Fair Week, a day sponsored by
the bank. It was called “Senior Day at the
Fair” and that day always found a multitude
of FCNB employees at the fairgrounds early
in the day, involved in entertaining what
appeared to be every senior citizen in Dyer
County. Food preparation began the night
before and continued until the last burger
was served around mid-day. Everything,
including admission to the fair was free,
with seniors arriving by the bus load.
Tents, chairs and tables had been set up and
BBQ grills were spreading the wonderful
aroma of sizzling burgers throughout the
fair grounds. To the delight of those in
attendance, Mr. Lipford was always
present, with cigar in tow, to share
a laugh and a handshake with all
guests. Entertainment always
included Bingo games with
prizes of every description.
Local talent provided songs
and music to the delight of
everyone in attendance.
The highlight of his
afternoon was the report
from Stallings’ son Phil,
telling him how many
guests were in attendance
and how it compared to
the prior year’s event.
“Senior Day at the Fair”
remains an integral part of
the Dyer County Fair to this
day, and is a favorite event
of employees of First Citizens
and senior citizens throughout the
community.
The relocation of the Dyer County
Fair to the new Community Park in 1990,
was an exciting event for the community.
Mr. Lipford wanted First Citizens to have a
major presence, but was not quite sure what
that might be. Avisit from Charles Cowles,
one of many volunteers who worked to
make Community Park, the fairgrounds
and later Sorghum Valley a reality,
introduced an idea that was embraced by
Mr. Lipford. Charles requested that First
Citizens sponsor an Amphitheater that
could be used to house many of the events
that occur annually at the Dyer County Fair.
Since sponsoring the original construction,
First Citizens has funded two Amphitheater
upgrades and added additional seating.
First Citizens later “chartered” First
Citizens National Bank of Sorghum Valley,
an operational replica of the bank, as it
might have appeared in 1889.
For more than 60 years, Stallings
Lipford worked tirelessly to improve the
quality of life in Dyer County. As Chairman
of the Dyer County Industrial Board, he
played a major role in bringing jobs to the
local community. He was an outspoken
advocate for programs and projects he felt
important to the citizens in this community.
He recognized and appreciated the role
of Dyersburg State Community College.
He supported the college with his time
and personal resources as well as those of
First Citizens, and in 1993 made the first
financial commitment to the Dyersburg
State Community College Foundation with
a pledge from the bank and its Board of
Directors that ultimately exceeded half-a-
million dollars.
Stallings Lipford will be missed by
many. He truly left “A Legacy of Caring”
and “A Life Well Lived.”

Letter from the Fair Board President:
Mr. Jeremiah Hollingsworth
As president of this year’s Dyer County Fair
Board, I made it my mission to bring our fair back
to its down home roots. I’ve grown up at the
fairgrounds showing hogs, watching the tractor
pull, and eating from our local vendors, and I
wanted my community to experience those same
memories this year. I hope your fair days and nights
are centered around Dyer County’s strengths and
my passions: agriculture, local businesses, and a
sense of community.
Seeing as how one man can’t put on the show
all by himself, I would like to thank my wife Tevvy
for her continued support during my tenure as
president. Iwouldalsoliketoshowmyappreciation
to the officers and board of directors for the Dyer
County Fair. Lots of long hours have gone into this
year’s fair, and I hope it means as much to you and
your family as it has to mine.
Jeremiah Hollingsworth

Joe Diffie is a country music
singer known for his ballads and
novelty songs. Between 1990 and
2004, Diffie charted thirty-five
cuts on the Billboard Hot Country
Songs chart, including five number
one singles including “Home,” “If
the Devil Danced,” “Third Rock
From the Sun,” “Pickup Man,”
(his longest lasting number one at
four weeks) and “Bigger than the
Beatles.” In addition to these cuts,
he has 12 other top ten singles and
ten other top 40 hits. He also co-
wrote singles for Holly Dunn, Tim
McGraw, and Jo Dee Messina. He
has recorded with Mary Chapin
Carpenter, George Jones, and
Marty Stuart.
His most recent album
Homecoming: The Bluegrass
Album was released in 2010.
“I always had in mind to do a
bluegrass album someday,” says
Joe Diffie. “It was something I
wanted from the first day that I got
my country deal.” And while he
might not be the first to say that, it
not only has the ring of truth when
you hear it straight from the man
himself, it’s got a lifetime’s worth
of bluegrass roots and connections
to back it up.
When Joe finally landed in
Nashville, he took to hanging out
at the bluegrass mecca, the world
famous Station Inn; there he ran
into another bluegrass buddy,
the late Charlie Derrington, who
gave him a job at Gibson Guitars. He began in the shipping
department and moved up to the role of inspector—making
yet another bluegrass friend along the way in fellow Gibson
employee Danny Roberts, then playing with the New
Tradition—but it was clear he was destined for other things.
The subsequent arc of Diffie’s career can be followed in any
number of sources. Even as he was racking up Top 10 hits as
quickly as he could turn them out, Joe kept up his bluegrass
connections, and not always in the most obvious ways. He co-
hosted and performed on the International Bluegrass Music
Association’s annual awards show in 1993 and 1999 (the
latter time in a notable appearance with the Lonesome River
Band and the Del McCoury Band’s fiddler, Jason Carter),
and he popped up on the legendary Ralph Stanley’s award-
winning, all-star production, Clinch Mountain Country, with
a gripping rendition of “Another Night,” but he also turned
over a strong co-write of his, “I Got A Feeling,” to bluegrass
singer David Parmley years before he got around to recording
it himself. And he kept listening, not just to the classics and
contemporary releases he’d grown up on in the 70s and 80s,
but the new stuff, too. Indeed, he says, “most of what I listen
to is bluegrass.”
So while it might not be accurate to call this release “long-
awaited,” it’s surely right to say that it’s been a long time in
the making, and perhaps all the better for it. This music is,
quite simply, state-of-the-art bluegrass, shaped by in-depth
knowledge, played by some of the finest talents available,
and sung by an artist who’s already widely admired—not
only in the country world, but among bluegrassers, too—as a
consummate vocalist.
There is no doubt that bluegrass is an indelible part of Joe
Diffie’s musical make-up. Most of all, though, Joe’s just glad
to have finally gotten this release out. “It’s like the stars all
finally aligned,” he says with a chuckle—and for those who
enjoy hearing an artist at the top of his game tackle the most
demanding kind of music under the country umbrella, those
stars must surely be counted as lucky ones.
