It's Magic at the Boundary County Fair!

August 5, 2013 |
Hot on the heels of a wildly successful All
School Reunion (pictures and story coming
soon!), folks have been working hard for the
summer's next big event, the Boundary County
Fair, which is just over a week away.
While the fair doesn't officially start until
Wednesday, August 14, the bustle of fair time
has long been underway, and it gets more intense
with each passing day. It's not just Sandy
Schnepf, Roy Krohmer, the fair board or the
Extension Office staff whose days are hectic,
either.
Kids and adults are busy getting their exhibits
polished up and ready to enter; livestock is
getting groomed and cleaned and worked to be
ready for show, fair supervisors have been hard
at work getting everything ready in their
departments.
While those who've witnessed the bustle of
pre-fair activity, as well as those scurrying in
the midst sometimes how it will ever come
together in time, somehow, it always does.
It makes this year's theme, "It's Magic at the
Boundary County Fair," especially apt.
It will become apparent to the casual viewer on
Tuesday, August 13, when the opening pieces
start falling into place.
Between 7 and 8 a.m., 4-H and FFA students will
be entering and weighing in market and breeding
swine. Starting at 7 a.m. and lasting all day,
folks will be setting up exhibits and displays
on the pavilion, in the exhibit hall and on the
grounds.
From 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., 4-H and FFA market and
breeding sheep and market goats will be weighed
in and entered, from 10 to 11 a.m. the market
and breeding beef.
From 3 to 7 p.m., 4-H home economics and
miscellaneous projects will be entered, as will
all 4-H record books and open class livestock,
rabbits and poultry and 4-H/FFA poultry and
rabbit. (No small animal entries until 7 a.m.
Wednesday).
Open class exhibits will be entered between 5
and 7 p.m., as will entries in the Little
Princess/Prince coloring contests.
By 7 p.m., the fairgrounds will, as if by magic,
be ready for opening day!
More details on events once the fair gets
underway will be published in the days ahead ...
please stay tuned, and I'm looking forward to
seeing you at the Boundary County Fair! |
