Saturda y m orning so the decision was m ade at 4 a. m . to cancel the event. The horse ring was so m udd y there was concern for the safet y of horses, calves and riders. The call turned out
to be a good one as the rain poured down m ost of the da y . However, Thursda y night, Frida y and Sunda y outdoor activities were all well-at- tended. The Frida y education da y portion of the fair was ver y well received b y local schoolchildren and there was an excellent arra y of agricultural education displa y s.
