Robert Johnson formerly owned a triathlon coaching business called Yankiwi Sport, LLC, and served as the chief exercise physiologist for former president George H.W. Bush. Now as a resident of Vero Beach, Florida, Robert Johnson supports several local organizations, including the Vero Beach Museum of Art, the Riverside Theater, and the Indian River County Firefighters Association.
The Indian River County Firefighters Association runs the annual county fair, which usually is held in the springtime. Since 1980, the firefighters have been an integral part of the county fair, with Fire Lieutenant Bill Tripp acting as first general manager of the fair. The current general manager is Fire Lieutenant Wayne Howard. Over 30 years ago, the Indian River County Commission set aside 75 acres of area and parking and then asked the firefighters to submit an application to the State of Florida for funds to help maintain and improve the fairgrounds. Now with the Indian River County Fair Association chartered through the state, they subcontract with the Indian River County Firefighters Association to put on these 10 days of family fun annually. The 2016 fair began on March 11.
