The 2023 Greene County Fair has come and gone and what a week it was! With one of the best carnival midways in a long, long time, there were long lines waiting to ride the rides. The stands were full on pageant night watching the young ladies vie for the chance to represent Greene County around the rest of the state and the rest of the week was filled with horse racing, tractor pulls, a demo derby and lots and lots of 4-H kids showing their animals.

How do’ maam! Izaac Hunt, 5, tips his hat to his mom while riding the merry-go-round prior to the mutton busting competition. Each child who went to the rodeo received a free hat that night.

One can’t help but adore this photo of Ava Kinser petting her pig, Star, before she got in the ring with her. Just goes to show how close 4-H kids get to the animals they show in the ring.

The final night of the fair, Saturday night, was the demo derby. Two miles out of town, one could hear the roar of the engines as the cars revved up before crashing into each other.

Many 4-H kids took their turn in the lemonade shake-up stand and the Kinser kids had their turn together. Ava and Duke both spent time making those delicious lemonade shake-up that is the reason many people go to the fair in the first place.

Pig skins in a poke
This past weekend was a busy one in Carrollton with the Greene County Fair going on and city wide yard sales, plus vendors all around the square. One of those vendors was Pioneer Karmel Korn and Pork Skins. Dylan Snyders dumps a batch of piping hot pork skins.
