RMC & Delaware County Fair Welcome Babies Born During Fair Week

For the second year in a row, Regional Medical Center (RMC) and the Delaware County Fair are proud to continue a wonderful family tradition.

Every baby born at RMC in Manchester during fair week is officially welcomed as a member of the “Delaware County Fair Family.” To celebrate, each newborn receives a special gift basket, a personal visit from the Delaware County Fair Royalty, and a free annual admission ticket to the fair on their birthday.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with RMC,” shared Jeannie Domeyer, Delaware County Fair Board Manager. “This provides such an amazing opportunity for families to grow up enjoying the magic, laughter, and tradition of our fair.”

This year, the tradition continues with three new babies joining the Delaware County Fair family. Congratulations to:

• Sammie Bantz & Zach Ruckdashel of Oelwein, who welcomed baby girl Arianna Lee on Thursday, July 16th

• Tracy & Justin Cummer of Lamont, who welcomed baby boy Elliot John on Thursday, July 16th

• Alex Eide & Justen Martinez of Lamont, who welcomed baby girl Nylani Jay on Friday, July 17th

Angel Martin, RMC Interim Obstetric & Family Health Manager, expressed pride in being involved with such a positive tradition, adding that they are excited to watch it expand over the coming years.
