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 recognizes the fair's significant contributions to local business, community engagement, and the celebration of Tennessee's history and culture. The Greene County Fair has previously received this honor in 1963, 1988, and 2005, and it continues to thrive with the support of dedicated volunteers who contributed over 8,000 hours to organize the event, which attracted 32,000 attendees and showcased more than 3,000 exhibits.

The resolution commends the efforts of the Greene County Fair Board President, Rick Clark, for his longstanding commitment to the fair's success. The recognition of the Greene County Fair not only highlights its achievements but also fosters pride among the residents of Greene County, who come together each year to celebrate local agriculture and community spirit. 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.
