Congratulations to everyone who participated in the judging contests, demonstration contest, archery shoots, horse bowl, and litter barrel contest.

Be sure to look in the Fair newsletter for all of these opportunities. The Fair newsletter is in a below post.

If you are interested in helping at the Farm Bureau booth and you are 12 and older please reach out to me, we are looking for help for the evening shift, 3-close, during the first Saturday of the fair.
It’s never too early to start working on your record book! Be on the lookout for the updated record book formats. I know it seems far off but unfortunately the Summer will fly by and September will be here before we know it!
