The 4-H exhibit building got a new roof this year. 
The4-H Cook Shack also got a new roof. 
Also new at the Fair is a hog holding pen outside the Livestock Arena. A door will be cut through in the corner. This is to alleviate having so many hogs inside the building during the sale. 
A large group of girls await their turn for “Making the Most of Me” judging on Monday morning. 
This year’s stage decorations for the 4-H Fashion show take on a Wizard of Oz theme with the Fair’s theme of “There’s No Place Like Home at the Idaho County Fair.” 
You may not be able to see it in the photos above but the Podium has been made up to look like the house that fell on the Wicked Witch of the East with the striped stocking legs and ruby slippers sticking out from underneath. |
