Fair Notes at Mills County Fair Show
The Mills County Fair featured expanded bleachers aiding large crowds for judging and demonstrations. A partition in the girls 4H building reduced noise, improving displays and photos, while saddle clubs entertained spectators. Claude Wilson earned 15 blues on 22 entries across garden products and grain. The rain held off until the final day, dust was controlled, and DeMolay provided a first aid station.
