Inside the Junior Fair Building on Thursday evening at the Clinton County Fairgrounds, booths were getting set up to celebrate 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, other youth-serving organizations and the young people with ties to the fair. In the right foreground are the beginnings of the booth for the Clinton County Freedom Riders 4-H Club. From left in the foreground are Jenna Hamlon, Kaden Kimble and Tess Pringnitz. The fair begins Saturday and runs for the next eight days.
A booth spotlighting 2017 Clinton County Junior Fair Horse Queen Kari Cragwall will be one of multiple display booths — more than usual — at the Junior Fair Building. Three people involved with decorating the booth are, from left, Kari Cragwall, Carl Cragwall and Pamela Groen.
Alana Smith with the Ark-N-More 4-H Club brought a newly born pig to the booth setup Thursday on the fairgrounds. It had to be bottle fed — the mother outdid herself on the size of the litter and wasn’t able to nurse all the newborns, said Smith.
