LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Fair has announced that the grand marshal of this year’s event is Dr. Brian L. Grey.

The Lake County Fair will be held Aug. 29 to Sept. 1.

Qualifications for the fair grand marshal include exceptional leadership skills, longtime involvement with the fair and a life of service to their community.

Grey has been a long-time fair supporter. He was recognized by the Lake County Fair Board for his outstanding contributions to the youth of Lake County.

“Brian is the epitome of what we seek in a grand marshal,” said Lake County Fair Chief Executive Officer Courtny Conkle.

“I'm thrilled that Brian accepted our nomination as grand marshal,” Conkle said. “He is an outstanding member of our community, and he has a long history with the fairgrounds, especially supporting the kids at the Junior Livestock Auction. He is an incredibly humble person, so him accepting the nomination to represent the fair means the world to us."

Grey will lead the opening night parade on Thursday, Aug. 29, along with the fair board and will cut the ribbon, officially kicking off the 2019 Lake County Fair.
