While the Logan County Fair “officially” starts today, on Monday the 4-H general projects judging was underway in the exhibit barns across from the grandstand at the Logan County Fair.

Enjoying their last two days as local royalty, the Logan County Fair Queens, Miss Ellyn Martinez, Junior Miss Ellie Wrage, and Little Miss Kodi Eigenbrod were busy networking in the exhibit barns. They enjoyed visiting with exhibitors and parents and were available for photo ops at a moment’s notice.

There will be a ribbon cutting this morning, Tuesday July 30th, at 9 a.m., weather permitting at the west gate of the fairground. If the weather does not cooperate the cut will more than likely be moved to the Lincoln Stage barn.

Tonight the queens will relinquish their thrones to three new inductees at the Logan County Fair Queen Pageant. That pageant is expected to be held in the north end livestock show barn due to the condition of the racetrack.

On Saturday, the large family of the late Betty Verderber gathered at Scully park in Lincoln to donate and dedicate a park bench in her memory. Pictured are her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, seated on and gathered around the bench.
