County Fair Legacy Project
We will showcase the tree industry and the artistry of chainsaw craftsmanship. We would like to showcase the Native American culture that was original to this area. We are looking for historical story telling and setting up a teepee and relevant site at the fair. The sheep presentation includes educating fairgoers about the history of sheep, caring for and raising sheep, shearing the sheep to harvest the wool and then discussing the outcome of selling the wool and what is created with what the sheep produces. We may do farm animal historical presentations. We also want to add three more livestock shows on the history and management of pigs, horses, and chickens (since this is becoming so popular lately in backyards in town). Give the history of these animals, how they are used for agricultural purposes, how to raise them and then outcomes from raising them.
We will have a fair board member host at each of these events and track attendance. We hope at a minimum we will have 35-50 people attend these individual shows. We expect a larger turn out for the Native American session (hopefully 75 or more). We will work hard to showcase these programs through social media.
