News from the Fairboard!

Mark Your Calendars! The 90th Annual Douglas County Fair is August 2-10, 2008. Since this is a BIG BIRTHDAY, we have some huge things planned to celebrate!

A few updates on this year's fair:

1. The Douglas County Fairboard is teaming up with Renee's Friends Fund to raise money for Breast Cancer fighters right here in the state of Colorado. The Bull Riders Pro Tour will be sponsoring a Pink Night on Thurday this year, so show up in your pink duds and support a great cause.

2. The Sheep and Hog Departments are trying something new! This year, showmanship will be split off from the main market show and judged by a different judge. On Wednesday morning, hog shomwanship will start at 8am with the market show at 5pm that evening. The lamb showmanship classes will start immediately following the hog showmanship classes on Wednesday. The sheep market and breeding shows will still be on Thursday starting at 9am.

3. Thanks to the support of our county government's support, we are looking forward to an exciting concert this year. Our headline concert on Saturday night will feature Joe Nichols. Concert tickets will be available for sale on June 14th.

4. We are excited to celebrate on Sunday, the last day of the Fair, with a BIG BIRTHDAY BASH. At 11am, get ready to head to the midway for some great entertainment and birthday cake before getting ice cream and all of your 4-H awards at 12:30pm in the Pavilion.
