A quartet of 2nd place finishes include the fair's radio commercials, the new daily pocket guides, a series of photos taken by fair photographer Judy Hemphill featuring the 4-H dairy goat show in the Agricultural Photo Series category, and a series of photos taken by Hemphill featuring the $1,000 Cinnamon Roll Contest in the Competitive Exhibit Photo Series category.

Third place finishes included a photo taken by fair marketing manager Rebecca Peters that featured the corn display in the Agriculture Building. This award came in the Competitive Exhibit Display Photo category. The Fair’s entry of the “Discover the Greatest” official poster came in 3rd place in the poster category.
Fair Manager Jeremy Parsons, who currently serves as vice chair of the IAFE Young Professionals Initiative steering committee, received recognition as a McKoy Scholarship recipient.
