Only five weeks remain before the Christian County Fair begins, and the list of offerings for visitors continues to grow.  Details on the chili cook-off and a flower and garden show in the latter part of the festivities have been finalized.  The schedule is nearly full now, and so too is space to take part in some events.  This applies especially to the concert happening on Friday, July 24, featuring Gary Allan and Mark Chesnutt.  Angela Ohl-Marsters, the fair’s marketing and promotions director, says only a small handful of grandstand tickets remain for the performance. 

The chili cook-off is scheduled for Saturday, July 25 in the beer tent area.  It’s a regular, popular event at the county’s fair that takes place on a packed final day.

The flower and garden show begins on the fair’s first day in the expo building.  Those interested in presenting any plants or other displays must pre-register.

The Christian County Farm Bureau will, as expected, be ever present at the county’s fair this summer.  This is especially so for Alec Myers, the organization’s manager.  He will be at the livestock judging competitions and auction, which run Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. 

The winners for each species take part in a Master Showmanship competition later on Wednesday.  There, each participant’s entire livestock lineup is judged together to determine a champion.
