The Christian County Ag Fair officially kicked off this morning with a ribbon cutting in front of the fair office that was broadcast live on WTIM.

Here's Regional Radio News reporter Leroy Kleimola and Miller Media Group president Randal J. Miller with the call of the ribbon cutting.

A host of Fair Board members, county and city leaders attended the ribbon cutting.

Taylorville alderman Larry Budd, also a Fair volunteer, told Regional Radio News why he works at the fair each year.

Former Christian County Board chair Tim Carlson has also been a long-time fair volunteer.

WTIM reporter Leroy Kleimola (right) interviewed both Illinois County Fair Queen royalty, and Christian County Ag Fair Queen royalty from 2022, at this morning's ribbon cutting.

Here are some pictures from a stroll across the Fairgrounds Tuesday morning:
