WELCOME
On behalf of the Rotary Club of Stuart, we welcome you to the 71st annual Patrick County Agricultural Fair! We truly appreciate the time, dedication, and effort from everyone who is involved in planning, organizing, and hosting the fair. It is one of our community’s favorite traditions. The fair is supported by many organizations, generous sponsors, advertisers, exhibitors, and many many volunteers! Our Rotarians and many others have worked hard all year to bring you the 71st annual Patrick County Agricultural Fair. Each night, you can count on wonderful entertainment beginning with pre-fair excitement at the Demolition Derby on September 6th. Tuesday through Sunday there will be entertainment in the main area of the Hooker Building and displays of agricultural and craft items in the rear of the Hooker building. Local vendors, advertisers, and organizations will be set up in the main exhibit hall to meet folks and share information. Our animal barn will be full this week with livestock including youth shows for pigs, poultry, goats, and rabbits. We will have a special visit this week from the Virginia Mobile Agricultural Exhibit. The midway will be full all week with games and rides to please our youngest fair go-ers and our thrill seeking fair go-ers alike! Whether you’re a canner, a photographer, a music lover, a quilter, a thrill seeker, a foodie, an animal lover, a farmer, a small business owner, or a pizza eater....this year’s fair has something for YOU! We hope that you will enjoy your trip to the fair with all the sights, sounds, and delicious smells! This one week event brings together friends and families from all over our county and surrounding areas to enjoy a little piece of time past. The Patrick County Agricultural Fair gives us a place to remember our roots, show off our talents, and make memories to last a lifetime. We thank you for being a part of this wonderful event, and we look forward to seeing YOU at the fair! Kristie Bentley PRESIDENT, 2025-2026 | ROTARY CLUB OF STUART

Supporting our community through education
29 students received 2025 scholarships in the amount of $45,500 from the Stuart Rotary Student Loan and Scholarship Foundation
STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Stuart Rotary Student Loan and Scholarship Foundation, Inc. was created in 1968 with the main purpose to receive donations of money and property in order to offer low interest loans to Patrick County graduates to pursue their education beyond high school. The scholarship component, providing scholarships to PCHS graduating seniors, was added in 1976. Since the 1968 loan program began, 148 loans totaling $176,375 have been provided to Patrick County students attending college. Students begin repayment of the loan six (6) months after college graduation. From 1976 to the present, 422 scholarships totaling $431,450 have been provided to graduating seniors.
FIRST GENERATION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Foundation began a new initiative in 2019 entitled the First-Generation Scholarship Program and funded two (2) scholarships in its initial year of implementation. Applicants must be the first individual in his/her family to attend college. In addition to an extensive application and interview process, recipients had to commit to maintain an acceptable college GPA and outstanding discipline record, participate in and attend certain Rotary meetings and events, and perform an annual minimum of sixteen (16) hours of community service. Recipients of the First Generation Scholarships will also be assigned a mentor from the Stuart Rotary Club who will
guide, advise, and assist students through their college experiences. The First-Generation Scholarship program provides a $ 2,000 scholarship annually for a maximum of 4 years (totaling $ 8,000) or until a bachelor’s degree is received. Of the twenty-nine (29) awarded scholarships, two (2) students have been chosen for the 2025 First-Generation Scholarships. Funding for one (1) of these $ 8,000 scholarships was provided by the Pauline H. and W. Blair Clark, Sr. and Family Scholarship Account and the remaining one (1) First Generation scholarship was funded by Stuart Rotary Club.
