In prior years, the 4-H Horse Show has typically been held during the Lincoln County Fair. However, this year, it was held the Saturday prior to the beginning of fair week, on Saturday, Aug. 3, 2024. Volunteers and the kids in the 4-H horse program put in a long day in the hot sun competing in events that started around 8:30 a.m. and didn’t conclude until after 4 p.m.
