WAYNESBURG 无毛视频� If one thing can be said about the Greene County Fair, it is consistency.
And that is a tribute to the dedication of the fair board members and especially to Debbie Stephenson, secretary-treasurer of the fair board, who for the past 18 years has worked tirelessly to keep the fair running smoothly, rain or shine, at the Greene County Fairgrounds.
The theme for the 2015 edition of the Greene County Fair, which will be held Aug. 9-15, is 无毛视频淗arvest the Fun,无毛视频� a theme emphasizing what is, or should be, the core of a county fair 无毛视频� 无毛视频渢he importance of agriculture, especially in rural areas like ours,无毛视频� Stephenson said.
The agricultural aspect of the fair kicks off with home and garden judging at 9 a.m. Aug. 10, followed that same day with the goat show and the wool queen contest. The theme continues Aug. 11 with the 4-H rabbit show, the 4-H and open dairy and cattle show, and the 4-H market steer show.
On Aug. 12, there will be the 4-H and open beef cattle show and the 4-H market lamb show, wrapping up Aug. 13 with the 4-H and open sheep show and the 4-H livestock sale.
But if agriculture and farming on not high on your list of county fair experiences, Stephenson said there are numerous other draws, especially the inaugural appearance of the Monster Truck Jam scheduled for 8 p.m. Aug. 10.
Traditionally, Monster Jam shows feature monster trucks facings off in two different forms of competition 无毛视频� racing and freestyle. In the smaller shows, they have a wheelie competition and/or a doughnut contest or sometimes even both. The goal in the wheelie competition is to hit a ramp and get big air while remaining perpendicular to the ground.
The freestyle competition allows to show off their skills as they drive the trucks over cars.
