More from Fair Thee Well
Jul 28, 2016
Our July/August issue includes a feature on the oddities, curiosities and fun traditions at our state and county fairs. Our founder and editor-at-large Bernie Hunhoff has photographed several of them in years past. Here are some of the shots that didn’t make the magazine.

Floral and art exhibits provide color. -
Award winning baked goods are judged on flavor, presentation and texture. -
Ducks are common at the 4-H poultry exhibit. -
