POINSETT COUNTY FAIRBOOK
DEDICATION 2021
In recognition and to Honor
Mr & Mrs R.L. Crawford
R.L. (Slick) Crawford and his wife, Tommy Lynn, shared their passion of giving back to their community in many
ways. He was a farmer, business owner, volunteer, entrepreneur, and animal lover who enjoyed traveling, being around
people and bringing laughter. Tommy Lynn was by his side for 53 years, enjoying and supporting their endeavors to-
gether.
Slick’s involvement with the Poinsett County Fair began at a very early age. He and his father became actively in-
volved when the Fair Association was formed in 1947 and Mr. and Mrs. Crawford were active Fair Board members from
1979 – 2008.
The original land and buildings were built and used as a prisoner of war camp and were donated to the county after
World War II ended. Those buildings remained for many years and around 1983, Slick solved the problem of the Porta-
ble John’s that were utilized for years during the fair by converting an older building into restrooms. In the late 1980’s,
using his resources and ideas as a contractor, he was instrumental in building the concession stand. It was operated by
the Fair Board and Tommy Lynn prepared food at home, delivered it and help sell it to cover some operating expenses
for the Fair Association.
Although working with cows is how he started competing, he and Tommy Lynn loved their cutting horses and won
numerous awards.
Tommy Lynn and Slick were both very reliable and dependable and no job was too big or small for them, from patch-
ing buildings, delivering hay, cutting grass, providing financial support to new construction.
Their love of community was unyielding and when they saw a need for a nursing home in the area, along with some
friends, they built, owned and operated Woodbriar Nursing Home from 1988 – 1998.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Crawford are gone, but not forgotten, departing this earth in 2020 they have left a legacy for all
to enjoy. We thank you for your hard work and dedication to the Poinsett County Fair Board and the community. You
both will be missed immensely.

LIVING HOUSE PLANTS
1. All plants must be clearly labeled with the common name, exhibitor, and address.
2. All entries must be brought in on Tuesday, August 24 between 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Entries
may be picked up between 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Monday, August 30.
3. Exhibitors are limited to non-professional growers.
4. No one exhibitor may have more than one exhibit per division.
5. No plant will be accepted showing signs of disease or insects.
6. Exhibitor must leave written instructions for watering plants.
7. No purchased flowers or foliage are permitted.
8. No artificial coloring or wiring is permitted.
9. Cut flowers and cut foliage must be displayed in a clean, clear container with a narrow neck to
support the stem.
10. Cut flowers, cut foliage and floral arrangement exhibits must have all foliage below the water level
of the display container removed.
11. Containers for houseplants and outdoor potted plants may not be larger than 12 inches wide (inside
measurement) or 12 inches high; containers larger than the specified maximum size will disqualify
the exhibit.
12. We reserve the right to refuse any plants that pose a risk to fair workers or to the public. For example,
the leaves of a potted pineapple plant or large agave are dangerously sharp. We reserve the right
to refuse any plants that have other unpleasant or adverse aspects. For example, a carrion flower
emits an unpleasant odor that would hinder the public’s enjoyment of the horticulture room. Noxious
weeds and invasive plant species may not be exhibited.
SUGGESTIONS FOR CARE AND PREPARATION OF FLOWERS FOR EXHIBIT
1. Most varieties of flowers stay fresh if cut and hardened in deep water and put in a cool, dark place
for several hours before exhibiting.
2. Before placing in water, strip the lower leaves from stems, but do not remove all foliage as clean,
green leaves add to the attractiveness of the exhibits.
3. Weedy stemmed flowers, branches from trees and shrubs should have at least one inch at the base
of the stem crushed to enable them to absorb water. Roses should be slant-cut.
4. PLEASE do not bring flowers that show signs of age. Freshness and cleanliness are important in
winning blue ribbons.
5. Potted plants and hanging baskets should be clean and “groomed.” Remove spots, dirt, insects or
dead stems and leaves. Do not use oil or “Plant Shine” on foliage.
6. Please exhibit only 1 bloom, flower head, spray, stem, or stalk per specimen.
