Senate Joint Resolution 78, sponsored by Southerland, congratulates the Greene County Fair for being named the 2024 Champion of Champions Fair by the Tennessee Association of Fairs. This prestigious accolade is the highest honor awarded by the association, and the Greene County Fair has previously received this recognition in 1963, 1988, and 2005. The fair, which showcases local business, agriculture, and culture, saw significant community involvement, with volunteers contributing over 8,000 hours to organize the event, which attracted 32,000 attendees and featured more than 3,000 exhibits.

The resolution commends the dedication of the Greene County Fair Board President, Rick Clark, who has been instrumental in the fair's success since 1999. The recognition of the Greene County Fair not only highlights its achievements but also reflects the pride and commitment of the Greene County community in celebrating their local heritage. The resolution concludes by extending best wishes for the fair's continued success and calls for an appropriate copy of the resolution to be prepared for presentation.
