Candidates Spolight Message at the 4-H Fair

By the Floyd County Democratic Party

Ever hear the expression "when pigs fly?" Maybe you'd like to see royalty take center stage with a championship Jersey? Perhaps you'd like to prove you can eat the most White Castles in two minutes? Sound like something from a dream? No, just fun times at Floyd County's annual 4-H Fair!

All kidding aside, the 4-H fair is a right of summer and offers everyone in the family something to enjoy. While many are attracted to the good food, rides, and shows, the real purpose of the fair is to enrich the lives of our youth. The projects they undertake, from photography exhibits to animal shows, helps them learn more about the world we live in and teaches them important life lessons they will never forget.

For this reason alone, the Democratic Party is a proud supporter of the fair and our party and its candidates wouldn't think of missing the event. Even 9th District Congressman Baron Hill was able to return from Washington D.C. and make a surprise visit on Thursday, July 10th to greet fairgoers and watch the Livestock Auction among other events.

The Democratic Party wishes to thanks those that supported the fair and attended its many events. We also appreciate the support of many fairgoers who picked up literature or indicated they would support our candidates in the fall election. Such grassroots support is the centerpiece of our party and we hope to continue to reflect that support in our core philosophy and values.

We'd also be remiss not to congratulate the 4-H Fair Corporation and its Fair Board for the hard work and dedication that it takes to organize and run the fair each year. The tireless effort of these volunteers is certainly something to be celebrated. As we reflect on this year's fair we in the Democratic Party hope others consider volunteering their time and continue to make the Floyd County Fair an event the entire family can enjoy.
