With the County Fair taking place this weekend, I would like to remind some of you, particularly the younger generation, that it is not all about the carnival rides and looking cool with your date — important though such pastimes certainly are. Try to also check out the various display halls featuring arts, crafts, agriculture, etc, along with the impressive livestock corrals, the traditional rodeo, and the always-exciting sheep dog trials. This Fair is a unique event and one of the few remaining of a dying breed, so why not broaden your horizons and enjoy everything “The Best Little Fair in the West” has to offer?
