Hay-hauling contest at Franklin County Fair dead
Organizers report no registrations for the hay hauling contest and anticipate cancellation after the Royal contest also fell through. Reasons include prevalence of large round bales, late harvests from rain, and lack of interest from business and farmers.

Franklin County fair funds creep toward new barn
Franklin County Agricultural Society president Brett Chartier says the building fund nears 1500 while the 1990 construction estimate ranged from 350000 to 400000. The fair board hopes the two day demolition derby with a 7500 purse boosts profits for the project and may pay Celebration Hall off, freeing rent income for the fund.
