Greetings one and all. If you are sitting comfortably then I shall begin. What a fun weekend that was! The County Fair was once again a very enjoyable event and virtually everyone I spoke with seemed to agree. However, it appeared that numbers were down significantly on Friday, when both high school sports teams, soccer and football, were victorious, and perhaps Saturday was a little off too from what I could tell. As for Sunday, it was difficult to tell as the Sheep Dog Trial was packed and it appeared that many folks stuck around to enjoy the rest of the Fair following the Trial’s happy conclusion: A second successive victory for the Valley’s own ten-year old Border collie Bren, with her handler and Master Shepherd, Kevin Owens from Yorkville.
