Tradition. Hard work. Taking pride in a job well done. Those words describe Thelma Boyd’s decades’ long contributions to the Deerfield Valley Farmers’ Day fair.
Thelma grew up working in and on the fair. As a young girl, she and her brothers and sisters entered their crafts, foods and calves in the fair. As she got older she helped her mother, Doris Adams, in the Youth Department, Wilhemina Allen and Harriet Maynard in the Adult Needlecraft Department and most recently over the last several years as Superintendent of the Youth Department. The Youth Department entries have grown exponentially over the last decade and it is with great anticipation adults and children alike enter the C.C. Haynes building, admiring the hundreds of entries artfully displayed over every available surface of that building.
Thelma still continues to enter her own handicrafts in the fair each year ….Sweaters, mittens, felted slippers and quilts, to name a few!
Thelma takes pride in everything she does—whether it’s preparing C.C. Haynes Hall for the incoming youth entries, displaying those same entries for all to see or knitting sweaters and/or making quilts for her family (which will be entered into that year’s fair!) we know we can count on Thelma’s work ethic and dedication to see us through.
The Deerfield Valley Farmers’ Day Association trustees would like to take this opportunity to say “Thank You Thelma” for your many years of service and dedication in making our fair a success year after year.
