Putnam County Fair

The Putnam County Fair is inching closer everyday. In preparation entries need to be made for Harris Hall, Adults in the Community Building East, Pet Parade, Pretty Baby Contest, Bakers Best, Antique Tractor show, Talent Show, etc. As editor (committee chairman) of this year's fairbook one of my goals was to get the fairbook out by the first of June so those entries could be made with ease. We actually beat that goal by a few of days. Make sure you pick one up. They are available throughout the county at several banks as well as at the extension office. The 64 page book is not perfect but it was our best effort for our first year of putting this thing together. The other goal was to get the fair schedule as accurate as possible and I hope we have accomplished that as well. The entertainment schedule may be adjusted somewhat as additional groups are wanting to perform.
Farm Bureau at the fair will be evident in many areas. We make numerous donations and support to the queen, the Beef Ultrasound, Harris Hall's Master Gardner, Pet Parade, Pedal Pull, 4-H Tenure Awards, Livestock sale, as well as provide ice cold milk at the Milk Barn. This year we are looking into adding some ice cream sandwiches for sale in the Milk Barn.
