Changes to Look for at the Fair

Visitors to this year’s Howard County 4-H Fair will find some changes to the grounds.  The walkway running from the east side of the Lions Cafeteria building northward to the edge of the Pioneer Village has been blacktopped.  A small shelter southwest of the little cabin on the knoll has been converted to a blacksmith shop. 
   The most dramatic addition is the foundation for the round barn which will be erected north of the Pioneer Village.  The barn, formerly located at Guy, three miles south of Greentown, has been disassembled by Trillium Dell Timberworks of Knoxville, IL.  A footer was dug by Hugh Wyrick Excavating.  Kendall Masonry did the block work of the foundation and CCI poured the concrete floor.  It now awaits Trillium Dell to return and construct the frame.  The plan is for the work to be going on during the fair, July 11-16, so fairgoers can watch the progress.
