Motoring into Fair Week

After a summer spent feeding, developing, growing, building and creating projects for youths and adults across the county, it’s finally here. The queen contest is over. The annual parade has wandered slowly past. The Putnam County 4-H Fair officially kicks off this evening with free entry at the fairgrounds. Along the way there will be plenty of antique tractors on display.
