Fayette County Fair

Our local County Fair was a fun filled week with many activities involving the 4-H and FFA youth. There were many different classes of all species of animals being displayed and shown each day of the fair. Jo and I volunteered time to help prepare the fair grounds for the weeks event. We enjoyed helping as it brought back many memories of when we were involved in the fair when we were kids. Now we can return the same to the kids that represent the future of agriculture in Fayette County. We had a display for the underground fiberglass storm shelters we sell for interested parties looking for a safe place during the storms we have been seeing in the area. We were most impressed by the obedience of the dogs during the 4-H dog show. What patience these animals have for their masters. Our favorite show is the Kiddie Calf Show. The affection these kids have for the calves is just tremendous. The excitement in their eyes glows with each interview and chance to show their skills. They are the next generation to operate our farms and feed our country. Jo and I painted the old drinking fountain, a staple at the fair, the colors of the 4-H organization.
