In Memoriam
Jerry Harris

The feature ag exhibit at the 2005 Merced County Fair was dedicated to the memory of our dear friend, Jerry Harris, who passed away earlier this year. Jerry was involved with the Merced County Fair for more than 40 years. He started out designing and constructing the Merced County Fair's annual parade float. For the past 15 years, he was the designer of the fair's main feature exhibit. When the exhibit was displayed in the fairgrounds' Agriculture Building (shown below) during the fair, the display included a dedication that read, "It is with great honor to present to you his final design. Thanks Jerry, for teaching us about telling a story, creativity and display."
