Fair attendance encouraged

0

The Highland County Board of Commissioners encouraged people to visit the 2021 Highland County Fair at its weekly Wednesday morning meeting.

“Of course, the Highland County Fair continues,” Jeff Duncan, board president, said. “I know both of you have probably already been there. Lots going on out at the fairgrounds so I think their attendance has been pretty good, according to one of the fair board members that I talked to. Weather’s cooperating. We got a little overcast this morning, maybe a little slower, but it’ll settle the dust. All in all, I think it’s going pretty well so I encourage everybody to get out to the fairgrounds. If you haven’t been there already, drop by and see what’s going on. They got a lot going on. Like I said, I think their crowds have been pretty good.”

Board member Terry Britton noted that the Junior Fair sales started Wednesday and run through Friday. He said they are important to the community and people should “support the kids.”
