MACKEYVILLE – With the 52nd Clinton County Fair right around the corner – July 26 through August 2 at the Clinton County Fairgrounds in Mackeyville – the Fair Association has selected the student-drawn poster that will serve as the front cover for the 2025 Fair premium program booklet.

As has become tradition, local eighth-graders participate in the annual poster contest, designed to showcase the creativity of area students, as well as their love of agriculture. This year, 80 eighth-graders from Keystone Central School District and Sugar Valley Rural Charter School submitted entries highlighting the 2025 Fair theme, “Cultivating the Future Generations.”

Lorelei Douty of Dunnstown, an eighth-grader at Central Mountain Middle School, drew the winning poster. Her artwork shows a blue-ribbon winning horse in the show ring, with a Ferris wheel ride in the background.

Douty, who enjoys art and said the Poster Contest theme was an interesting one, says she’s already making plans to attend this year’s Fair.

Second-place was awarded to CMMS eighth-grader Payton Williams of Lock Haven. Her poster depicts a goat in a barn stall.

CMMS eighth-grader Summer Ingram of Lamar was the third-place winner in the poster contest. Her poster highlights several aspects of the Fair and this year’s contest theme, including a tractor, the Ferris wheel, a prize-winning cow, and corn planted in soil.

Clinton County Fair Board President Philip Courter and Fair Manager Barb Forshey presented the three students with a certificate of appreciation from the Fair Association. In addition, the first-place winner receives a $100 award; second-place, $50; and third-place, $25. All of the students who participated in the poster contest will have their artwork on display at this year’s Fair, and each participant receives a day-pass to the Fair.
