Keeping Up With What's Going On

 

With the demolition of the old Faye Epperson Building it has  been hard over the last few years to display everyone's works.  The new community building is being built and our county is looking forward to a place where all of us may enjoy the community events in a clean healthy atmosphere.

Every year in late Juy, early August, the County Fair is in full swing.

Adults and youth alike participate in a variety of events and enter their best to seek the Grand Blue Ribbon.

The fair is what it is due to the participation of the county residents.  many people work many hours for this event to take place.

While I have lived here for almost 14 years I have seen the fair grounds change little.  Even the board mambers do not change often, which I am not so sure is a good thing.

I often hear people complain about the Fair, but I see less people do anything to make it better.

Personally I think a bigger change is needed in the Fair Board Members.

Maybe a restriction on years served would benefit the county?

While some of the members of the board are postivie and instrumental in the proper development fo the county fair grounds, I have watched others promote a personal agenda.

I encourage those within the county to vote and/or run for the seats on that Count Fair Board.

 

All FFA and 4-H members must also go to the extension office and register to get a number for their indoor and livestock exhibits.

The deadline dates to enter vary from year to year. Be sure to contact the Extension office in Craig County to find out what the dates are so you know when to get your exhibits to the fair grounds.

To enter the Open exhibits, everyone must register with the Craig County Extension Office and get a number along with the correct tages for their indoor exhibits.

The Craig county Free Fair is an opportunity, for those that live within the county , to display their creative talents.
