Phillips County Fair Spotlight for April 29

Everall Holman has the distinction of quite possibly being the only person who has been to all 99 Phillips County Fairs.

"I was just a baby at the first one," Everall said. "I don't remember anything from that day, but I know my parents drove us kids there in a Model T."

Though he doesn't remember that first Phillips County Fair in 1916, he does know that he has eaten at least one cheeseburger from the 4-H Booth for at least 90 years and he said he has plans to have another burger at fair number 100.

"I'll be darned," he laughed, "if I make it that far."
