Mason Co. Fair Junior Livestock Sale set for today

Today’s fair action will get underway with the Master Market Showmanship competition at 9 a.m. Starting at 12:30 p.m. a variety of awards will be presented, including the 4-H Exhibitor Award; Harold Ridenour and Donnie Hill Memorial Awards; Peoples Bank Fair Scholarship Awards; and Ohio Valley Bank Born and Raised in Mason County Awards. Following the awards presentations, the Junior Livestock Sale will begin. According to fair organizers, the sale is very important to the local 4-Hers who participate. Through the sale, 4-Hers will receive recognition and money for the hard work that they put into their animal projects over the past year. Animals included in the livestock sale are: Market Meat Goats, Market Hogs, Feeder Calves, Market Steers, Special Lambs and Market Lambs. The 2011 Mason County Idol also will be named today. The final idol elimination concert will kick off at 3 p.m. on the inside stage. During the concert, the two idol finalists will compete for the coveted title. All previously eliminated contestants will return to perform as well. The chosen idol winner will then perform at 7 p.m. this evening on the main stage prior to the Chase Likens concert. Other events on tap for today include: Point Pleasant Junior High Band Concert, 5 p.m.; Super Stock Trucks, Tractors & Modified Stock Truck Pulls, 7 p.m.; Auction for Kid’s Games, following the livestock sale; and Chicken Catch, 9 p.m. A performance from the Lo Cash Cowboys, slated for 9 p.m. on the main stage, will close out this evening’s festivities. As usual, the fair carnival will be open from 1-5 p.m. and 6-11 p.m. We're glad to give you a forum to air your point of view on issues important to this community.

Shelton Blog: Reflections on this year's Mason County Fair

The next time I went to the fair was this year. After my first two experiences at the fair, I went in with low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised to find a small but complete fair. Everything that should be at a fair was there. Well almost everything, the only thing missing that really bothered me was scones. A fair with no scones? I lamented, how could there be a fair with no scones!? Ah well, the senior center came to the rescue with strawberry short cake. Much to my surprise my little one did not know what a strawberry shortcake was, other than a cartoon character that she detests. Being budget minded after our big trip, we gave most of the midway a miss and went on a tour of the animal stalls, the photography competitions and of course the rock club. The rock club display seemed a bit smaller this year, but a wonderful club member gave us a personal tour of all the rocks and discussed her own trip to China with us. My daughter received several new rock treasures as well. All in all we had a good time at the fair and we hope that next year the politics will get sorted out so we can have a public fair that is just as good as this year’s private fair. It’s too bad that the Hansen’s have decided to pull out of next year’s fair; I think they did a good job, and the real issue was with the ongoing lease of the fairgrounds for other events, rather than the actual fair.
