Lake County Fair merits purple ribbon for “awesomeness”
There are some constants about the Lake County Fair. It's always held in July; 4-H members from around Lake County participate; the 4-H Market Sale is held on Thursday night; and Shady Grady is on the fairgrounds with snow cones for sale.
Even with hot temperatures, last week's fair seemed to go smoothly. The beef barn’s enormous fans and mist kept the bovines content and 4-H members who showed sheep and goats said their barn was cool. Pigs, however, do not like to be hot so many 4-Hers with swine projects were misting or spraying down their critters.
After the new water system was installed, which was a very welcome improvement according to Fair Manager Sjaan Vincent, sod went down on the courtyard so it was green again. The flowers were beautiful, thanks to Bev’s Bloomers and Vincent and her fair crew.
