Deggendorfer chosen for seat on fair board

Frank Deggendorfer will serve on the Deschutes County Fair Board after his selection last week by the Deschutes County Commissioners.

Deggendorfer will replace long-serving fair volunteer Don Miltenberger on the Deschutes County Fair Board.

The fair board is an oversight board of directors, appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, whose job is to oversee the management of the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center.

Deggendorfer was a high school and college teacher locally and he and his wife Kathy owned Columbia Outfitters for 15 years. The couple own and manage residential and commercial property and a hay and cattle ranch in Sisters.

Frank has served on the Farm Bureau Board, the 4-H Leaders Association, the 4-H Advisory Board and on the Squaw Creek Irrigation Board. Most recently, Deggendorfer has served four years on the Des- chutes County Planning Commission.

"We're looking forward to Frank lending his broad experience in the areas of agriculture and business to the fair board. He has demonstrated his dedication and service to the community while serving on the county planning commission," said County Administrator Mike Maier.
