It is true that if you want something done, ask a busy person. Robert Lee is the one to ask. The St. Mary's County Fair is a volunteer organization. We thrive on volunteers like Robert Lee.Whenever he see something that needs to be done, he hops on it without being asked.He is famous throughout the Southern Maryland Fair Community for his assistance with theirlivestock shows (Charles, Calvert and Prince Georges). His presence for the St. Mary's County 4-H is vital to their success, whether running the Fair livestock show, entering animals, weigh-in,maintaining the barns, as our 4-H Agent commented, "he is always there, we couldn't do our job without him".
In the Leonardtown VFD, he as been a member since he was 16. Has a Lifetime Membership after30 active years of service (1998) (now you know how old he is). Served as Assistant Engineer,Lieutenant and Captain as a line officer.
And of course most important to our Fair, Robert Lee spends more time at the Fairground that hedoes at home. Whenever he has free time, he is at the grounds maintaining, mowing, building, or alsovery important, assisting other organizations prepare for using our Fairground. Many charitableorganizations use our Fairground for fundraisers. Robert's assistance gives avery positive impression, for both the County Fair and the agriculture community in general.
