Fairgoers also enjoyed music from the Hannan High School Band. The goat catch and a performance by Savannah Jack closed out the day’s events.
Today the fairgrounds will be quite busy due to the Junior Livestock Sale, which is slated for 1 p.m. and will feature feeder calves, market steers, special lambs, market lambs, market meat goats and market hogs. The Master Market Showmanship also is on tap for today as well as presentations of the Peoples Bank Fair Scholarship Awards and the Ohio Valley Bank Born and Raised in Mason County Awards.
