						A 
						long-standing tradition continued on Sunday when local 
						veterans gathered together in the grandstands at the 
						Logan County Fair for their annual group photo. 
						 
						The photo was taken as part of the first Sunday of the 
						Logan County Fair, which included the first races of the 
						Downstate Classic and live music by Chapter 11.

						Thanks 
						to Holly Snyder, who submitted this photo and others of 
						wind damage sustained early Monday morning in Beason. 
						The storm hit Logan County between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. 
						with high winds being the culprit for caving in the side 
						of this large empty grain bin at the Beason Elevator. 
						 
						See more photos from the elevator damage in today's 
						edition.
