Carroll Co. Fair

Our First Fair Tour!Tommy and I before the trip to Carroll Co's Fair

On Wednesday, Tommy and I toured our first fair as Trumbull Co. King and Queen! Neither of us had ever seen Carroll Co's fair; we were warmly welcomed by everyone there. We first met Michael, the King runner-up, who led us straight to their fair's still auction, and the county's king and queen, Max and Melinda. Tommy and I were both very impressed with the still auction, and thought it was a good opportunity for those 4-Hers who may not be able to have livestock to show off and even profit from their project. We saw everything from furniture to cookies being sold! Tommy and I even got to sell a fair basket in the auction.

The basket we sold went for $150!

Our first fair tour was nothing short of a success. We missed the rain, met some wonderful people, and Tommy even purchased some of his beloved fair waffles (a food which he sorely missed at our own fair). Thanks to Max, Melinda, Michael, and the Sr. Fair Board of Carroll County, who made our visit possible!

Miles traveled on fair tours: 148
