The letters to all the Beef, Sheep, Goat, Swine, and Horse exhibitors have been sent out with the information on LIVESTOCK SUPPORT. The letter explains how the premiums were divided and we now have checks ready to pick up, in exchange for your Thank You Note to the sponsor.

CAKE AUCTION participants, the checks are ready for you also! You get 1/2 the proceeds that your cake was purchased for at the auction. If you are unsure as to who purchased your item, please call the office and we can help!

Please bring your STAMPED THANK YOU's to the office and exchange it for your checks.

As listed in the fair book, each exhibit taken to the fair receives a stipend based on the ribbon placing. This is the Fairboards way of thanking you for participation in the Thank County Fair. These checks are now available to be picked up at the Extension Office.
