Get to the Freeborn County Fair this week.

Show your support for all the hard work done by the kids in FFA and 4-H by seeing their livestock.

Take a child to gaze and wonder at baby farm animals and to ride the rides at the Midway or to enjoy the crashed-up cars of the Sunday demolition derby.

Everyone seems to have a meal they enjoy only during the fair. Perhaps it is a gyro or mini-doughnuts or funnel cake. Mmm. Treat yourself.

Most of all, don’t stay sheltered in your house. Get out and be part of this community. Be proud to be from Freeborn County. We surely are.
