All week long the preparations have been made to spend a week away from home at the county fair. Throughout fair week the barn is full of young herdsmen and women taking care of their stock. Hour by hour and class after class, the young competitors fight for the grand prize. When the gavel drops on the last animal at the livestock sale there is a great weight lifted off the shoulders of everyone who made a fair come together. If you haven’t had the chance yet, go out to your local county fair and support the youth.
