Aggie Fair Award Honors Longtime AgriculturalistBy Tammy Daniels

ADAMS — Everett A. Randall was the "go-to guy" when it came to agriculture and the outdoors in North County.
The market master of the North Adams farmers' market had been involved in gardening for 40 years, selling his own produce and maple syrup with other farmers, and was a strong supporter of the Adams Agricultural Fair and the Adams farmers' market.
So when the Cheshire resident died at the age of 78 on May 21, his many friends at the fair wanted to do something to honor him. So did the Adams Outdoorsmen for Youth and his friends at the local farmers' markets.
The result was the Everett Randall Memorial Award given to the top vegetable grower at the Aggie Fair each year — to mark Randall's long love of gardening. The award plaque was presented ceremonially to his widow, Helen, and son David last week at the Adams Outdoorsmen's meeting at the Elks.

"He was the go-to guy. He could fix anything, find anything," said Karen Kruszyna, a member of the fair committee and secretary of the Adams Outdoorsmen. "He was such a great guy. He always had a smile on his face."
Randall had been a member of the outdoors club for many years and helped with its game suppers, she said.
A strong supporter of the fair, his wife still oversees the produce division of the fair and remains involved with the farmers market.
Kruszyna said the Outdoorsmen offered to take care of having the plaque made up and that it will be placed in Town Hall.
The plaque reads: "Everett Randall Memorial Award for his efforts and support in making our community a better place to live through his work with our local farmers market, Adams Agricultural Fair and Adams Outdoorsmen for Youth."
The first winner of the award is Lorrie Swistak. |
