WAYNESBURG – Jeanette Trader of Prosperity was recognized during the Greene County Fair as a 2013 Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Outstanding Fair Ambassador. Trader accepted a certificate Aug. 8 during a presentation by Barron “Boots” L. Hetherington, the department’s special adviser to the governor and PA Fair Fund administrator.

“We’re extremely proud of Jeanette and appreciate her years of service to the fair,” said Commissioner Chuck Morris, chair of the board of commissioners.

Signed by Agriculture Secretary George D. Greig, the certificate acknowledges Trader’s outstanding leadership, volunteerism and dedication to the Greene County Fair, for which she serves as general superintendent of the Home & Garden departments.

Trader coordinates all of the Home & Garden exhibits, from food and wine to flowers and crafts, as well as baking contest entries and department volunteers.

“What I’m doing, I’m doing because I really enjoy it,” said Trader, who did not know she would be receiving the honor. “I work with so many women, and we’re a big family. It’s been fun.”
