See you at the Highland County Fair

Lead Summary
By
Brooke Beam, Ph.D-
First, congratulations to all of the participants in the 2018 Highland County Fair. You’ve made it to fair week. This in itself is a huge accomplishment. You’ve completed your project books, made an amazing project to display, and worked tirelessly with your livestock projects for weeks, months, and in some cases years.

Growing up, I participated in my county fair as both a 4-H and FFA member. I have many good memories from my fair experiences. I hope you are all able to have a similar experience, but most importantly to have a safe and healthy fair week.

I will be at the fair all week demonstrating a 360-degree video highlighting Highland County agriculture and community events. This demonstration will showcase the future of innovative educational videos, as well as a variety of agricultural production techniques.

This demonstration will be available daily in the hospitality tent. Times for this demonstration will be announced via the Highland County Extension Facebook page.

For those of you who are not able to attend the Highland County Fair this year, the video will be made available on the county blog after the fair concludes.

In conclusion, I wish all of the participants the best of luck. Remember to try to keep yourself and your livestock cool this week.

P.S. – The first 20 youth participating in the Highland County Fair to visit me at the Virtual Reality video station in the Hospitality Tent will receive a Buckeye for good luck.
