LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome to the Monroe County Fair! The Fair Board and countless volunteers have worked tirelessly this past year to get the fair ready. Countless 4-H and FFA kids have been feeding, cleaning pens, training, grooming and caring for the animals you will see throughout the week. They have also been planting, watering, fertilizing and tending the flowers and vegetables for display, all with the hope of bringing home a ribbon.

FAIRGROUNDS MAP LOCATIONS Beef ......................................... 99

— they all want to make a difference. Since funding from the state is uncertain from year to year, the support from the community has been priceless. For example, the 4-H/FFA livestock auction receives tremendous support from countless individuals and businesses.

Beer ......................................... 88 15 Chicken/Rabbits ........................15

Commerical Exhibits................... 33 10 Dairy .......................................10

Highlighting opening day are the Little Miss and Fair Queen pageants. The pageant kicks off a week of great food, music, balloon artists, pony rides, commercial exhibits, livestock judging and horse shows, tractor pulls, the Figure 8 Race, the Demo Derby and, of course, the carnival rides. We’ll end the week with events your family will enjoy, including a Baby Show and the annual FFA Fun Night.

11 Fine Arts ................................. 11

Food Stands .............................. 77 12 Grand Stands ...........................12

There will also be great competition among the adults this week. They will show animals, flowers and vegetables, as well as pictures and handiwork. Adults will compete with baked items and canned produce and participate in horse shows, tractor pulls, the Figure 8 Race I’ll see you at the Monroe County Fair! and Demo Derby.
