Polk County fair unveils new buildings and foods
Polk County fairgoers sampled a new hog, dairy and goat show building and added tie stalls in the horse barn. The 4-H food stand offered barbecued lamb sandwiches, nearly doubling earlier sales, as the FFA and Polk County FFA chapters sponsored a bright yellow small animal tent attracting many young visitors and repeat entries. Local exhibitors and 4-Hers sponsored most animals with a $250 tent rental, and the event organizers planned to repeat the experiments next year.

Mae Hillestad, county home maker president, and Kathy Lee, county home economist, conceived the project in their first year. Admissions were down due to heat storms and regional competition from four nearby fairs including Minnesota. Officials said it hurts.
