Judging, Classes, Entertainment = Family Fun
The Kent County Youth Fair is celebrating its 75th year at the Lowell
Fairgrounds. I have fond memories of the County Fair from my youth
and 4-H days. It is a lot more than cotton candy and carnival rides.
I really enjoy seeing all the animals and the exhibits that the kids work
so hard on all year. Many times you will see sheep, pigs, horses, chickens
on display that are pampered and well cared for. It is a chance to see
what is popular on the farm and what might be showing up next at the
Farmer’s Market or on your table.
Just the variety of animals can be overwhelming. The last time I went
to a fair, there must have been 50 different kinds of chickens.
Who knew? You kind of know this is true but seeing them in the
flesh and variety of feathers is something else again.
Each day brings its own special events, including free nightly
entertainment. Don’t miss the Cow Pie Bingo!
Tuesday August 11th – The Pub Runners 7:30 pm
Wednesday August 12th – The Jabs 7:00 pm
Thursday August 13th – Patchwork & Black Canyon

There are dozens of events I couldn’t mention here, like the Ice
Cream social, Bingo, Garden tractor pull, Livestock sale, Goat
milking contest, performing arts, & Draft horse pull to name a few.
Come on out to the Kent County Youth Fair in Lowell this week.
I think you might have a great time.
