New Assistant DuQuoin Fair Manager Announced

Acting Director Raymond Poe announced today the naming of Tibretta Reiman, 44, of Pinckneyville, as the new Assistant State Fair Manager of the DuQuoin State Fair.

Reiman is no stranger to special events or the DuQuoin State Fair. She previously served as a member of the State Fair Advisory Board, the DuQuoin State Fair Non-Fair Event Advisory Committee, and most recently as the Development Director for Trails to Adventure Regional Tourism Development.

“My experience with marketing and promotion of tourism events, as well as my experience in the event planning industry, will be an asset for the DuQuoin State Fair,” said Reiman.  “Southern Illinois has a great love for this fair and I look forward to working with Kevin Gordon and the rest of the staff in DuQuoin and Springfield to make this something we can all be proud of.”

Planning is well underway for the 2016 DuQuoin State Fair. Fair officials are currently accepting applications for individuals or groups looking to perform at the 2016 fair, and those looking to be a vendor or exhibitor. Applications are available online at www.duquoinstatefair.net.

This year's DuQuoin State Fair is scheduled for August 26 – September 5.
