Rose Duncan is the 2024 Mineral County Fair Lady who will be present on the fairgrounds Aug. 1-3.
This is really a real honor and a privilege to be the grand marshal,” said Herman Berneking. “They had a lot of people to choose from and I’m humbled they chose me.”
His mother was the Mineral County Fair grand marshal many years ago and he thinks because of that and the organizations that he has been involved in over the years may have tipped the scale in his favor for the position.
“I think of all the years I was with the (VFW) Honor Guard in the parades and so many friends did it (grand marshal) but I was hesitant for only one reason when asked. When Ed Heppe was the grand marshal, he broke his ankle getting into the rig. But my mother survived it. So did Jim DeBree. I guess I’ll be OK,” he said.
