County Fair memories are different for everyone. 4-H and FFA members, and their families, who are caring for livestock during the Fair will have a different experience than those that look forward to the Midway and concerts. Do you plan a stop at one of the church food booths to check on the type of pie available? Or is a stop at the Lion’s BINGO booth a must for you?
