The Shelby County Jr. Fair is less than two weeks away and the Fair Board is ready for it with some events even planned for next week for some of the 4H kids. The full action begins July 18th, but for it to be ready for the public, there are some last minute things that must be taken care of. Lisa Mott, President of the Shelby County Jr. Fair Board said that the community comes together and works to make sure everything is ready for the public to attend.

Mott said that thanks to the community, the Shelby County Jr. Fair has raised enough money from the community to make sure that there will be a 2017 fair no matter what happens with the state budget after the stopgap expires.

Mott also mentioned one of their main sponsors, Shelby County State Bank who is committing to the fair for the next 5 years by giving the fair $5,000 each year. Frye recently appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
