Remnants of Isaac can't dampen spirits at Highland County Fair
The Highland County Press
Given the rainy Labor Day weather, a brave and hearty crowd strolled around the Highland County Fair Monday.
Remnants of Hurricane Isaac dampened the fairgrounds with a steady downpour, but that did not dampen the spirits of the fair-goers.
While the midway rides were temporarily closed, a number of shows continued inside the fairgrounds' buildings.
Poultry, rabbits, lambs and goats were among Monday's shows.
The 2012 Highland County Fair continues through Saturday, Sept. 8. Admission is just $10 and includes rides.
