Fine Arts sees an abundance of entries at the Logan County Fair

[August 02, 2024]   The Department MF Fine Arts competition was held at the Logan County Fair once again this year. Many people submitted artwork of all kinds, from hand drawings to sculptures. The judging of this department was closed, but all of the artwork can be seen displayed in the Red Door Exhibit Barn.

While taking pictures of the work on display, Lincoln Daily News ran into Emmett Wibben, who won a first-place ribbon in the category of Tempera or Watercolor and a second-place ribbon in the category of Oil or Acrylics for his age group. Emmit was happy to show off his artwork for the camera
