Retirement from the Ringgold County Fair Board last month by John IRVING, 85, of rural Mount Ayr, brings
to a close at least 50 years of service to that group. He was part of the first Iowans to show mules at a 1940
State Fair. IRVING had been the one to nominate Ringgold county's only other state fair board member in addition to
Merritt TRIGGS, a present-day Ringgold county farmer. The man was Frank SHELDON, who at one time, was in a real
estate and abstracting business, and also in the bank at Mount Ayr.
Pattie FOLTZ (Mrs. Phil) of rural Mount Ayr, was

held Monday, Oct. 27.
A mutual interest in hunting and Masonic Lodge work brought two hunters
from Tennessee and Virginia to Ringgold county and into a close fellowship with the Eldon MAIN family of
Mount Ayr. What started as an answer to a hunter's need for a place to hunt and to stay, has culminated in
an enduring friendship. It has been a mini-cultural exchange, adult-style, between the hunters, Ron MILLER of
Kingsport, TN and Hobart QUILLON of Gate City, VA and Eldon and Dorothy MAIN.
