The Shelby County Junior Fair is coming to town July 18th through the 21st, where kids will be able to showcase things they have been working on throughout the year. Lisa Mott, President of the Shelby County Fair Board said that while this fair does showcase agriculture, that's just the beginning of what will be presented.

Lisa Mott also mentioned how the lack of a state budget is hurting the Fair Board because they aren't able to get any funding from the state. This is making it difficult for them to continue to put on events, but the Shelby County Fair Board does have a plan to keep the events going.

If you're interested in making a donation to keep the Shelby County Fair going, you can call Lisa Mott at 217-412-9378, you can mail donations to Brad Burgner at 752 East 2500 North Road in Mowequa, or drop one off at the extension office in town. Mott appeared on Friday's NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show live from our Shelbyville studios.
