Another Lincoln County Fair has come and gone, and this year’s event may truly be remembered as the “Good Ole Days,” at least by all the young people, kids, and families that attended. Crowds were good every evening by most accounts, and most attendees found more than one thing to love about this year’s Fair. 4-H exhibits and animals in the barns, antique autos, tractor displays, small animals, a petting zoo, and live music was free for all to view and enjoy. Rides and games were popular, and food and beer sales were brisk. Grand stand shows were well attended with cheering and screaming crowds.
All in all, it was another great Lincoln County Fair, and attendees were happier than ever to have it back!
Special thanks to the Lincoln County Fair Board and all of the volunteers who made this year’s Fair the success that it was.
No fair is complete without a Ferris Wheel to light up the night and provide an unparalleled view of the fairgrounds to riders. Tina L.
