We were so excited to recognize members who have been members of Kiwanis Club of Lexington, NC for more than 50 years! These men have served the community well throughout their lifetime, and you’ll still find them working gated and parking lot each fall at the Davidson County Agricultural Fair. Thank you for your leadership and service through the years. Curtis Leonard, Bob Sink, Wayne Alley, Steve Smith, and Roger Tripp. Not pictured: Jimmy Holshauser

It’s official! During our regular lunch meeting today Tommy Black, our Fair Director, reported that we broke records for a Saturday attendance during last month’s fair! Since we had to close due to bad weather Wednesday and Thursday, the strong attendance numbers on Saturday helped boost us for an overall good week. We compared it to numbers from 2024, which is the last time we had to close one day due to the weather, and we were 10% lower than 2024 in 2026. Our 2025 fair was a record setting year and we were open all six days. When comparing against 2025, we were down about 34% this year. Let’s go ahead now and put good weather during fair week 2027 on the prayer list! Thanks again for everyone’s support through this fair season. So many good stories coming from attendees and fair participants.

When we hear from the latest census report that approximately one in seven children in Davidson County lives in poverty, we should consider what that means for a child’s opportunities. Family finances can determine whether summer camp and other experiences are within reach of the 5500 children in our county living in poverty.

The Lexington Kiwanis Club has a role in opening those doors. Kamp Kiwanis gives us a practical way to put our mission into action, and the Davidson County Agricultural Fair helps sustain that commitment.

We cannot solve every financial challenge a family faces. We can help ensure that more children have opportunities to learn, play, build friendships, discover their abilities, experience Summers That Matter. Every volunteer hour, sponsorship, and contribution can help make that possible.

If you’ve been looking for a way to connect with an organization committed to making the lives of children better, check out the Lexington Kiwanis Club. Our 100+ years of experience speaks for itself.

We were determined the rain wouldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of high schoolers ready to support their school pageant reps in the annual fair pageant last week. The event went off without a hitch, thanks to the generosity of Lexington High School. Congratulations to all the contestants!

Despite rain that forced the closure of the Davidson County Agricultural Fair on Thursday, one of the fair's longest-running traditions continued as Lilian Daye Leonard of North Davidson High School

We gained several new followers recently who were interested in details about last week’s fair. In coming months we will keep followers updated on the work of our local Kiwanis Club, and out two largest projects of the year - Kamp Kiwanis and the Davidson County Fair.

A component of both these projects is our annual Fair Ads Campaign, which brings together local businesses, summer camp and the fair. The video at the link below promoted our 2026 ads campaign, but provides a good overview of how all these are linked to success. We hope you will take a few minutes to watch it, in hopes that it will result in new conversations and partnerships.

As a Kiwanis Club, we are aligned with our core mission: “To offer service and leadership opportunities to those who desire to serve the needs of children, youth and adults in our communities.” For over 100 years the Lexington chapter has worked tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of local children. In 2028 we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kamp Kiwanis. If you want to be part of an organization committed to doing good work, we invite you to learn more about us.

Each year the Lexington Kiwanis Club sells ads to local businesses....
