(Comingg up on the last weekend of the Fair)...After two weekends of animal showmanship and confirmation competition at the Fair, the Main event is coming up.

This weekend the focus will be on animal auctions. It is the highlight of months of hard work local youth put in to raise their animals. The Auctions begin Friday at 5:30 pm with the feeder calves in the beef arena. The auctions continue Saturday at 8:30 am and will include swine, small animals, goats, sheep and beef all held in the beef arena. Bo Shopshire, with 32 years on the Fair Board of Directors, will serve as master ring man during the auctions.
