As the Logan County Fair celebrates 86 years, Lincoln Daily News is proud to say we’ve been there more than one quarter of those years to record this historic annual event. We look forward to the fair more than any other event each year; though it be with some fear, awe and angst due to the enormity of spending nine days straight on the grounds from early till late every day. And… we always try to outdo our past coverage. LDN has eight seasoned staff and writers lined up for this year, who will be doing our best to cover all the things we can. LDN also has six office staff working intensely behind the scenes, recording all the happenings in the daily editions of LDN, and compiling one giant, full color, progressive online magazine [2021 Logan County Fair, 422 pages http:// archives.lincolndailynews.com/reference/ 2021_Fair/index.html that will remain available for years to come in our magazine rack.

Of course, this is merely a narrow scope of all you would find to do – see - hear – taste – smell - feel and experience at the Logan County Fair and individual tastes count. But we hope you will be inspired to make at least one trip, or more, maybe even go every day to find your favorites and make memories of a lifetime. From Derek Hurley: I think one of the most memorable parts of the county fair comes at the very end. One of the first things I covered for the fair was the 4H Project Auction. On the last day of the fair, the children in 4H that win prizes for their livestock sell their animals at an auction. Individuals and businesses come together to show support for the youth by bidding on the animals, and help them gain valuable experiences. I’m not a farmer, but I know how hard these kids work to raise their animals and bring them out to be judged. It’s hard to stand in front of others and be judged on our accomplishments, and I think it means a lot that so many people come and show their support, even if that just means observing. It’s not necessarily my favorite part of the fair, but I definitely always remember it, and I think that’s why I keep covering the Lincoln Daily News goes to the fair
