Spencer, IA (KICD)– The Clay County Fair is officially underway and while there have been some points of stress along the way, the new leader is ready to take the helm.

Jerome Hertel tells More 104.9’s Kevin and Rhi that he has been able to use some of what he has learned over the years at other fairs while also figuring out exactly how things work in Spencer.

Hertel says he is excited to not only continue to learn the inner workings of the fair, but actually see the final product that has been formed since even before he came to town.

We will be hearing more about the process and happenings at the Clay County Fair every morning when Jerome Hertel joins Rhonda Wedeking on Newsradio 102.5 and AM 1240 KICD, Big Country 107.7 and More 104.9.
