Past OFMA President, Keith Sheridan, greeted me cheerfully at the Greene County Fair. The Senior Fair Board was very kind to me, also. In addition, I met the fair's queen, Megan. Keith drove me in the golf cart from place to place throughout the fair. The center of the fair is beautiful; it is laid out in a circular fashion. There is a center where benches surround a garden and from there buildings are placed around the outer edges of the circle. Sadly, in 2000, a tornado ripped through the fair and demolished most of the buildings. The entire fair had to be rebuilt. Keith told me about a calf scramble that the fair hosts. It was started in 1981, and 16 exhibitors compete for 8 calves. Each exhibitor must write an essay to qualify for the event, and the winner has the chance to win a $5,000 scholarship!! I was introduced to the audience at the market goat show by Keith. We also visited the 4-H building where the table-setting contest was taking place.
