County fair to start July 15

Fair organizers expect to see an increase in 4-H and Optimist entries this year.

People from across Elmore County will enjoy a week of "fun in the sun" during the county's annual fair and rodeo, which runs from July15 to 21 at the fairgrounds in Glenns Ferry.

The fair is all based around kids -- to educate them on challenges and responsibilities of farm life, said county fair manager Rena Kerfoot. This family concept brings together parents, relatives and siblings as they watch these youngsters compete in hopes of coming home with a blue ribbon, she said.
