For me, there is one name that is synonymous with the Roosevelt County Fair. Lillie Belle Toombs. I never met Mrs. Toombs, but each year Selina and I always looked forward to seeing how many blue ribbons she would win with all her entries. Im quite sure her trophy room surpassed that of Michael Jordan and Peyton Manning. In an ever-changing, chaotic world, we search for things that are consistent and dependable, and when it came to the Fair, Mrs. Toombs was certainly that. I was reminded of her yesterday, when my brother and I came across a lonely cemetary East of Dora. While wandering through it, I discovered her tombstone. She finally won the ultimate blue ribbon.
