The morning was filled with 4-H livestock shows, and barn tours filled the afternoon, offering fairgoers the chance to learn about what goes into taking care of the featured livestock.
The entertainment pavilion was alive with bingo during the day and karaoke at night.
The fair continues at 10 a.m. Thursday with Veterans Day. Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for kids 8 to 12, and free for kids 7 and younger.
