Fair Open Class Results

2024 DECATUR COUNTY FAIR

OPEN CLASS RESULTS

Thank you to the Fair Committee and County Commissioners for their support of the Open Class projects. A huge thank you to the Mark Koors, Jeremy Pasel and Tony Blodgett for judging the Cookie Contest. Also, a heartfelt “thank you” goes out to the ladies, gentlemen and 4-Her’s who volunteered their time at project check-in and judging, and cleaning the Farm & Home Building before the fair started. Open Class couldn’t go on without your help! Many thanks also to Jake Bauer, Fairgrounds Groundskeeper, for his great help in painting and fixing up our building. To Expression Florist, the stage looks wonderful and your decorations makes the stage look so nice for the programs!
