Putnam County Fair Begins
WEST VIRGINIA....
Saturday's opening of the weeklong Putnam County Fair, which will be held at the Ernest Page Jr. Fairgrounds in Eleanor marks the 32nd year for the fair. The event runs from Saturday to Saturday, and more than 30,000 people are expected to attend. The fair includes carnival rides, live bands, and "miss" pageants, and organizers expect the 4-H shows to be big crowd pleasers. Boys and girls ages 9 to 21 will don clean button-up shirts and blue jeans to show their prized livestock. Beef cattle, lambs, hogs, dairy goats and meat rabbits will be shown and sold this week. A livestock auction for those that win their respective competitions will be held July 16th at 7:00 P.M.
