Fair is finally here. August is a busy month for 4-H’ers. As a Greener Fields 4-H member showing animals, getting ready for the fair may consist of setting up and cleaning barns, decorating barns and having extra meetings about Junior Fair show schedules. A week to a few days before the fair is the busiest time with members having to wash their animals, shear their lambs or shave their goats, trim hooves, and pack feed and supplies for the week of the fair. In addition to all these things, members are continuing to practice things like showmanship, walking their animals around a show ring and holding small animals like rabbits and poultry properly. This year’s fair will be held Aug. 29 to Sept. 2, so come out and support the community’s local 4-H’ers. (Submitted by Gracelynn Forbes, news reporter)
