Fair was a big success

Dear Editor,

The St. Croix County Fair, recently held in Glenwood City, was — from all initial indicators — a consummate success. This is in no small degree due to the cooperative efforts of many individuals: the Fair Board, the Friends of the St. Croix County Fairplex organization, Fairest of the Fair ambassadors, 4-H participants and their mentors, senior citizens, local sponsors, many volunteers and very supportive fair-goers.

The conscientious work done by our county 4-H groups and their leaders, beginning with their creatively constructed road signs (14 of them, advertising the fair’s “Fun in Your Own Backyard” theme, and strategically located throughout our county), and culminating in their multitude of competitive entries (arts and crafts, canning, photography, woodworking, sewing, poultry, swine and cattle grooming, to name but a few) was truly inspiring. Young people, you are our future and you are our hope!

The list of local sponsors and supporters is long. Congratulations to each of you and to anyone else who has played a part in this year’s wonderful endeavor.
