The Junior Fair board started in 2016. It plays a vital role in the National Peanut Festival and beyond.
DOTHAN, Ala. - The National Peanut Festival 2024 is in the books. It would not have been possible without the volunteers, including the Junior Fair Board.“The Junior Fair Board is a bunch of students ranging from a junior and a senior in high school around the Wiregrass,” Addison Godwin, the president of the Junior Fair Board, said.
It’s an evolving organization. For Junior Fair Board Secretary Lillie Ellison, it’s a family tradition. “I’ve learned that I am definitely more of a leader-type person,” Crocker said. “Time management is probably one of the best skills you can have in your life. I am a senior in high school, so going into college, that is going to be a very, very valuable skill for me being able to manage my classes.
