Fair heating up with big events this week

Crittenden County Lions Club Fair shifts into full gear this week with pageants, enduro and the ever-popular demo derby. 

Also, on Friday morning, the first class of a newly formed Crittenden County Ag Leadership Hall of Fame will be revealed during the 4-H Fair Breakfast. Call 270-965-5236 for breakfast tickets. Cost is $10 with proceeds benefitting 4-H.

Two giants of agriculture will be enshrined into that hall of fame – the late Virgil Cook and the late Jack Voss. See this week's printed edition of The Crittenden Press for more on the hall of fame inductees.
