William (Bill) Millhoan, 65, past president of the Delaware County Fair Board and a member of the Little Brown Jug Society, died March 19, 2008 following a long illness.

Mr. Millhoan was a very active fair board member.  The Delaware native was the board’s representative in all matters concerning Delaware’s world famous half-mile race track. He oversaw the construction of the Jug Barn and was responsible for the original design of the Jugette Barn.

“He was a great friend and a strong supporter of all fair activities as well as the racing program,” said Phil Terry, director of marketing for The Delaware Fair.  “He will be impossible to replace.”

Mr. Millhoan and his wife, Terry (Todd), bred and raced a strong stable of trotters.  The Millhoan Stable was based at the fairgrounds.

He is survived by Terry; his sons, Michael, Todd and Kip; and his daughter, Kelly.

Many in Indiana know Mr. Millhoan's son, Mike.  He was employed by Ernie Gaskin in the early to mid-1990s.  Among horses he groomed was Viking Commander.  After leaving Indiana, Mike started his own company.  He now owns and operates Mid-Ohio Door.  In recent years, Mike has been involved in the industry as an owner.  He campaigned Brooklet's Gerrit for two seasons and now owns Sectionline Cruiser.
