Meeting folks at the fair

Despite the heat and poor air quality, I spent several hours Tuesday and Wednesday at the Bartholomew County 4-H Fair in Columbus. The fair runs until Saturday, and I plan to be out there at the Democrats’ big blue tent on the south side of the grounds some more.

We’ve got loads of into at the tent, including voter registration forms, not to mention free sno-cones, popcorn, and books, as well as a drawing each day for valuable prizes. Tuesday, we gave away a $50 gift card to a lucky lady. I’ve got an info sheet and buttons. Pick up one of each at absolutely no charge.

Here are a few of the sights at the fair I got the past two days:
