Fisher Fair is proud to honor Lowell & Carol Heiser. Lowell and Mary Carol Stappenbeck met when country schools consolidated in 1948. They were in the same class and in the summer of 1952 they were King and Queen of the Prom in 1953, then graduated from Fisher in 1953. They were married in August 7th, 1954 and made their home in the same house Lowell was born in. They had 3 children Jeffrey, Christina and Karen. They were married for 68 years until Carol’s death in August ‘22.

Lowell worked the fair gates selling tickets for 20 years. He and Carol also helped Jack and Virginia Welborn with the Kiddie Tractor Pull as an assistant for 5 years and they took over for another 12 years. It was always important to the Heiser’s to let every child enjoy the day and have a prize.

Lowell also raised vegetables and proudly exhibited them at the fair for 20 years. In his winnings over the years, he says he’s collected 144 ribbons from the Fisher Fair! That’s fantastic Lowell! We thank you so much for your dedication to keep the Kiddie Tractor Pulls going and for your dedication to your community.

Thanks for the many years of memories! 

Kay Horsch Rayburn

Kay loved kids of all ages and challenged her children, grandchildren, and students to be­come involved in different activities that would expand their learning environment. When her children was young, her son, Craig and Scott would had out _ribbons and trophies to the win­ners of the horse show representing the Dewey State Bank. In later years Kay helped with the Flower department in the Exhibit building. She'd relish the relationship that she had with a lot of her students, past and present. Kay always wanted her family to attend the annual Fried Chick­en supper so they all could eat together then go through the building and see the projects exhibited.

Kay was involved with the Fisher Fair from a very early age with close to 80 years of attend­ance. Her father, Marshall Scott, had helped start the fair, so the family was very involved from the beginning. The fair was always scheduled around her birthday, July 13th, and her lucky number and she loved attending the fair on her birthday!

She'd also help in the food concession stands taking food orders or the livestock barns or at the admission gates during the week. She was truly a triednd true Fisher Fair fan! We lost Kay on June 25th, 2023 and we will always remember her smile and laugh and her sense of community ...

Thank you to her family for sharing many, many memories of Kay!
