Former Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge especially loved the annual Fair & Rodeo. He called it “the sound of joy,” and much of what you experience today, can be attributed to his unwavering support of the Fair. That’s why it was such an honor for your Board of Douglas County Commissioners to welcome Commissioner Partridge’s family, friends and colleagues to preserve his legacy by formally naming the large animal barn at the Fairgrounds – the Roger A. Partridge Large Animal Barn. Thank you to everyone who came today to share fond memories of Roger and offer unwavering support for the entire Partridge family.
