BELLVILLE — Austin County Fair Board member Freddie Engelbrecht retired, sort of, after 55 years on the board and serving the community. Mr. Freddie, as he is known, joined the board when he was a new Ag teacher at Brazos ISD in Wallis.
Mr. Freddie has headed up the Tractor Tech and Ag Mechanics contests and served on the Poultry and Main Parking Gate committees. He also leads the pledge and prayer at every board meeting.
However, he will still be serving on some committees as he remains dedicated to the youth of Austin County and the mission of the fair.
