Niemerg: 'We experimented with this program last year and found it very successful'

Rep. Adam Niemerg announced the success of a program that can be used at county fairs.

In a May 26 news release, Rep. Adam Niemerg announced that his team had experimented with a program the previous year which has now turned out to be successful and can be used in county fairs.

“We experimented with this program last year and found it very successful to be available to constituents at events they are already attending like our county fairs. My staff and I will be setting up informational tables at fairs and festivals around the district to make it easier for people to stop by and ask questions about state programs, suggest legislation, or get help on issues like FOID/CCL cards,” said Niemerg.

The first event will be the Wabash County “Chamber Picnic in the Park” in Mt. Carmel. This event will begin at 11:00 a.m. and conclude at 1:30 p.m. It is for the 2021 High School Scholarship winners and Chamber members. At all of these events, look for the red table covered with the official state seal.

Other confirmed dates include the following:

June 23: Jasper County, County Fair, set up in the Floral Hall from 5-7 p.m.

July 11: Wayne County, County Fair, set up under the grandstands from 5-7:30 p.m.

July 21: Wabash County, County Fair, set up in the Dining Hall from 4:30-7 p.m.

July 25: Richland County, County Fair, set up under the grandstands from 5-7 p.m.

July 28: Edwards County Fair, set up in the Exhibition building from 5-7:30 p.m.

July 29: Clay County, County Fair, set up in the Merchant’s building from 5-7 p.m.

August 3: Lawrence County, County Fair, set up in a building by grandstands from 5-7:30 p.m. 

August 12: White County, County Fair, set up near the Floral Hall from 5-7 p.m.

In May, Niemerg called for honors for DEA Special Agent Michael Garbo when he presented House Joint Resolution 0067. “The House passed my HJR 0067 to honor the service and life of DEA Special Agent Michael Garbo from Grayville,” he wrote on Facebook.
