On
Saturday, the annual Doug DeMay Chili Cookoff
and the My favorite Pie contest were big
attractions at the Logan County fair. After all
the food had been prepared and judged, first
place at the chili cookoff went to Brett and
Janna Conrady. |
 |
The first place pie was made by Kris Stiefvater.
After the chili judging an auction was held for
all the pies. Stiefvater's Cherry Amaretto pie
was purchased for $1,100 by Land of Lincoln
Catering.

The
Logan County Fair wrapped up on Sunday evening. For 4-H
livestock producers, the end came a bit earlier as they
paraded their animals for the last time this year at the
annual 4-H Auction that started at noon.
Dan Naughton of Naughton Auction Service and Mike Maske
of Maske Auction Services did the honors, pulling in as
much cash as possible for the 4-Hers and their animals.
The first part of the auction Naughton did the calling
and Maske helped in the ring. Then the two switched for
the finish of the auction.

scheduled to perform at the 2020 Logan County
Fair that was canceled due to Covid-19.
