The exhibit hall during the Henry County Fair was full of wonderful projects, photos, canned goods and handmade items.

I hope that many of you took advantage of the air conditioning to cool off as well as check out all of the goodies inside the fairgrounds building.

The following are the results in the 4-H division.

Burley - one stick – Andrew Pollard received a blue and champion.

Dog Poster – Allison MaGruder received a blue and champion.

Be getting your teams together for the Biggest Loser Contest, which will be running from July 15 through Sept. 24.

Teams should be at least three people and there is a $20 entry fee per person which will be payable at the initial weigh-in and $5 weight management fees for not showing up for a weigh in or for gaining weight.

North Central District Health Department will be offering blood sugar and  blood pressure screenings at the initial and ending weigh-ins which will be held at the Henry Christian Church. 

Entries for the Henry County Fair will be taken 9 a.m. to noon, Monday, July 2, at the Henry County Fairgrounds building.  This year has been a busy one in 4-H and I hope that since so many of you have taken the time to complete 4-H projects that you will take the time to enter them.  Remember every 4-H entry receives a premium, so the more you enter the more you win!  Of course, the county winners will also be entered in the Kentucky State Fair in Cloverville.
