The growth of the Butler Farm Show over its 75 years surprised one of its founders.
Discussing the show in the days leading up to it, Ken Metrick, farm show secretary, recalled one of his last conversations with LeeRoy Miller, the last surviving founder of the Butler Farm Show. He died in 2006.
Metrick said he took Miller around in a golf cart during the 2004 show, when Miller was in his 90s.
