Though the 2023 Logan County Fair will officially end this Sunday evening with the Demolition Derby, Lincoln Daily News will be posting more of its coverage through Monday and Tuesday. Look for coverage from the Cake Classic, Chili Cook off, Pie Auction, Kids Day, Seniors Day, the ITPA tractor Pulls, Wooten Rodeo and much more as we work to get it all in our daily editions.

Be sure to come back for more of the livestock including the 4-H and Junior Sheep, the Peewee Sheep and the sheep costume contest, and see more incredible photos like this one.

Ryder, Brantley and Coltyn Conrady of Elkhart won the Sheep Costume Contest at the Logan County Fair this year.  The boys dressed with their 70s style hair and the Dancing Queen Sheep stole the show for sure.
