THERE HAS BEEN A FULLTIME FAIR MANAGER, WITH AN OFFICE IN THAT BUILDING, FOR 30 YEARS, SINCE NOVEMBER 1979. I HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT OF THE PEARSON BOARD ALL THAT TIME AND HIRED THE FIRST MANAGER, TOM CALLAHAN, JUST OUT OF COLLEGE. THAT BUILDING GETS A LOT OF USE YEAR AROUND AND WAS A GIFT TO THE COUNTY BY THE MILES, IOWA LUMBER EXECUTIVE, ALLIE PEARSON.
