4-Hers and Open Class contestants provided a colorful spectacle for fairgoers this morning. Multicolored chickens, furry rabbits, squeaky-clean cattle, textiles, photographs and garden produce were just a few of the items evaluated by judges and admired by bystanders this morning. In addition, many hardworking volunteers kept the crowd fed and cool through their efforts.
