Support our youth

The Hot Springs County Fair has been going on this week and there is still plenty of opportunity to fill the bleachers at some of the final events.

Thursday, August 3 the day kicks off with the swine show beginning at 8 a.m. The breeding beef show will be at 4 p.m. and the beef show will start at 6 p.m., both in the multi-purpose building. While you are there, sample the delicious offerings at the Chili Cook off hosted buy the FFA Alumni.

On Friday, the 4-H and FFA Round Robin Showmanship will begin at 10 a.m. At 1 p.m., the parade of champions will travel through town. Be sure to honk and wave to show your support.

The Judges’ Choice Silent Auction Bake Sale will begin at 5 p.m. followed by the Junior Livestock Auction in the multi-purpose building. Last year the sale brought in a record amount, let’s do it again this year.

Also, the fair building is open from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on Thursday and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Friday. Stop in and check out all the non-livestock exhibitors.

Fill the bleachers and the buildings to show your support of these hard working Hot Springs County kids.
