At Monday night’s City Council meeting Jim Olive was named the Volunteer of the Month for his involvement with the Christian County Fair.

Olive speaks on what this award means to him including the fact that his fellow Aldermen kept this under wraps to surprise him.

Olive says he is proud to be a part of the Christian County Fair as it brings all kinds of people to town and is a revenue boost for the community.

Olive has mowed over 8,000 acres at the Christian County Fair, he says this year was a little easier with the tremendous weather but there is one aspect he never cares to see.

Olive has served on the Fair Board for 28 years and is looking forward to year 29.
