The 1987 Parish Fair Booklet Photo Album

The fair magazine listed a number of persons who had been honored for their service and dedication over the years, thanking its pageant winners, its livestock exhibitors, and its senior citizens and family living exhibit booth participants.
Here are some photographs from the book.
