Despite a summer of heat and grasshoppers, and fair week kicking off with wildfires, road closures and power outages, Powder River County fair exhibitors endured. Fair exhibits were exceptional from garlic and watermelons to gladiolas, zinnias and sunflowers, colorful quilts, crocheted afghans and zucchini bread and butter pickles and decorated gourds and intricate jewelry, there was something to see and admire for everyone.
Cash awards are determined by both the quantity and the quality of the exhibits entered in each division. Once all open class items are judged, Ann Emmons, Open Class Arts Superintendent and Bonnie Lyda, Open Class Clothing and Handwork Superintendent, spend several hours calculating the cash award winners. The awards are sponsored by Jesse and Connie Barnhart, Art and Soul Artisans Society, Dennis and Bonnie Lyda, Duane and Debbie Talcott, Tim and Gaylene Fortner, Jim and Jacy Collins, John and Di Barbero and Tom and Ann Emmons.
