Oh the life! These pigs were snoozing away under the sprinklers in the swine barn at the Brown County Fair.

It is fair time once again in Northeast Kansas, as the Brown County Free Fair will kick off in Horton next week.

The week’s festivities will get started with a 7 a.m. Fair Fun Run on Saturday, July 9. Later that day, the county’s 4-H clubs will rotate on a schedule to drop off their projects. On Sunday, the horse, dog and pet shows will take place. Monday will feature livestock entries, as well as the Brown County Shooting Sports show at 1 p.m., and the Public Fashion Revue and Food Auction at the Horton Blue Building at 6 p.m. On Tuesday, Brown County Farm Bureau will serve breakfast at 7:30 a.m., and after a day of showing animals, the Brown County Fair Parade will be held in Horton at 6:30 p.m., followed by the Pedal Power Tractor Pull at 8.
