In 2025, the Marshall-Putnam Fair is officially dedicated, paying tribute to Bailey Real.
The Marshall-Putnam Fair is set to host a special dedication ceremony this Sunday morning, honouring the late Bailey Real and Steve Salz. The event, scheduled for 10:30 at the swine show, marks the recognition of Bailey Real as the Fair Board Director for the 2025 event, which is being dedicated in his honour [1].
Bailey Real, a resident of Henry, was deeply passionate about the fair, particularly the swine and cattle departments. His enthusiastic spirit, bold ideas, and compassionate listening earned him a significant role in the fair's preservation efforts, as evidenced by the dedication of this year's fair to his memory [1].
One of Bailey Real's noteworthy contributions was his involvement in the preservation project of the swine barn at the fair. His dedication to the swine department was evident, and his influence extended beyond the barn, impacting the fair as a whole [2].
Joining Bailey Real in the ceremony is Steve Salz, who also played a significant role in the fair's preservation efforts. The exact nature of Salz's contributions is not specified, but his participation in the ceremony underscores the importance of his involvement [3].
Bailey Real was named to the fair's board of directors last fall, a testament to his commitment and dedication to the fair. Tragically, he passed away unexpectedly in May, leaving a void that the fair community continues to feel [4].
Despite the sadness surrounding Bailey Real's passing, the dedication ceremony serves as a celebration of his life and contributions to the Marshall-Putnam Fair. Attendees are encouraged to come and pay tribute to a man who made a significant impact on the fair and left a lasting legacy [5].
