Today
is the official first day of the Logan County Fair. This year, though, an old friend is not going to be in
attendance. Last fall Luehrs' Ideal Rides realized
they were going to have a scheduling conflict this year,
but they didn't leave the Logan County Fair out in the
cold. They recommended their good friends Tinsley's
Amusements. Tinsley crews were busy setting up
their carnival on Monday afternoon, and it looks like
it's going to be great!
