From swine to sheep to sewing – and seemingly everything in-between – 4-H and FFA members from across Tama and Grundy counties are well-represented this year at the Iowa State Fair. The Sun Courier’s state fair photos are merely a small sampling of both the livestock entries and static projects from hard-working kids in our area this year. The Iowa State Fair runs through this Sunday, August 21. There’s still time – ‘Don’t miss it, don’t even be late!’
