This years Athens County Junior Fair looked a little different. We didn’t have the food trucks, the rides, the rodeo, the demolition derby or the camping. What we did have was the livestock shows.

A big THANK YOU to the Athens County Fair Board for letting these kids that have worked so hard all spring & summer getting ready for a week full of shows that ALMOST didn’t happen, but DID!

Now we need businesses & past buyers to come out and show your support! The sale will be in the grandstands for easier social distancing. Come early to check out the animals & meet some of these amazing kids! They will be more than happy to see you! Announcements will begin at 3:30pm and the livestock sale begins at 4:00pm.

Here are some of our special exhibitors from this year that will be selling animals tomorrow. Congratulations to all these kiddos. We are so proud of them for their accomplishments in the show ring. I know they would love all your support.

“My Mother kept a garden.
A garden of the heart;
She planted all the good things,
That gave my life it's start.

She turned me to the sunshine,
And encouraged me to dream:
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem.

And when the winds and rains came,
She protected me enough;
But not too much, she knew I'd need
To stand up strong and tough.

Her constant good example,
Always taught me right from wrong;
Markers for my pathway
To last my whole life long.

I am my Mother's garden,
I am her legacy.
And I hope today she feels the love,
Reflected back from me.”

On Sunday afternoon our mother, Pauline, gained her angel wings and was reunited with her loving husband Scott. She was a wonderful caring mother, sister, wife, grandma, great grandma, friend and neighbor. We will miss her contagious smile, her beautiful voice and the way she sang along to the Porter Wagoner show. We will miss her cooking, her famous stuffing at thanksgiving, her deer steaks with gravy and her chili. She never had a recipe, she just knew everything by heart. She loved being surrounded by her family and supported her grandchildren in every way she could. She attended sporting events, graduations, birthday parties, grandparents day and sometimes even vacations. They don’t make them quite like her anymore. She had a strength like no other. She was one tough cookie. She raised her children, milked cows, had a paper route, went shopping for necessities, cooked three meals a day, did the laundry, and managed the family farm. She showed us what a “good days work” meant. We will miss our mother dearly but knowing she’s with our father brings a smile to our face. We will miss you greatly but we will see you again someday. Keep dad in line for us and watch over all us kids, we know you’ll be watching because that’s always what you did.

From your loving family.... your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and your great great grandson!

Mary Pauline Ervin’s service will be held at the Alexander Cemetery off Hebbardsville Rd. In Albany at 1pm on Thursday, May 21st. Following the service we will have food right across the road at one of the family barns. We hope to see you all and look forward to you helping us celebrate our mother.

“It had to be somebody who’d plow deep and straight…and not cut corners. Somebody to seed and w**d, feed and breed…and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk. Somebody to replenish the self feeder and then finish a hard days work with a five mile drive to church. Somebody who’d bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who’d laugh and then sigh…and then respond with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life “doing what dad does”. So, God made a farmer!”

24 hours ago our family suffered a great loss. The man who built the farm, family, life and memories that we all have today. A father, brother, uncle, grandpa and a FARMER. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten. The Ervin family gained the greatest angel to watch over us. We love you, forever and always, Scott Ervin.

Scott will be at Jager & Sons funeral home in Athens. Calling hours will be this Saturday, April 27th from 1-3pm and Sunday 12-1pm. His funeral will be Sunday, April 28th at 1pm... reception to follow at the Alexander Presbyterian church in Albany off Rt 50.
