Elvin Dunn
General Manager, CFO
The buck stops with Elvin. He’s in charge of the whole outfit. He’s been with the Fairgrounds since September 2008. His goal is making your visit to the Fairgrounds the very best it can be!

Lisa Johnson
Events Director
Lisa helps make your special event at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds run as smoothly as possible. From the Arena to the E*Plex, Lisa can answer all your questions! Is “faircierge” a word?

Lori Locke
Office Manager
Lori places commercial vendors for the Fair, including concessions. Got a food you’d like to see on a stick? Let her know! She’s also happy to assist you in becoming an Official Sponsor of the Ozark Empire Fair.

Mary Quinn
Exhibits Director
From quilts and photos to pies and pickles, Mary handles all the entries. She directs the Family Living Exhibits, and is also everyone’s ‘go-to’ person for the Lawn & Garden Show and the Family Living division of Farm Fest.

Nikki White
Director of the Ozark Empire Fair Foundation/OEF Agriculture Director
Nikki executes superbly the annual Gold Buckle Gala prior to the Fair. She also directs the livestock exhibits division both during the Fair and other events. Nikki can help with any ‘udder’ livestock information you need; no bull.

Brittany Gillig
Administrative Assistant
Brittany helps everyone with a little bit of everything. She assists Elvin with some accounting, Nikki with the livestock, and can answer about any general question you might have. Brittany is like the Fair’s human compass; she’ll get you where you need to go.

Gary Mason
Controller
Gary is titled, "The Controller", which may sound like a bad quality in a person, but not for Gary. He is the penny pincher. He spends his days pinching every penny that comes across his desk! For a non-profit organization, he is exactly what we need!

Thomas Barlow
Facilities Manager
Somebody’s got to make sure the grounds stay neat and orderly; that’s Thomas. He and his maintenance team prepare the buildings and grounds for each event. From the RV park to the barns, Thomas is our “somebody.”
