While the weather cooperated for most of the week, Saturday morning was wet.

Curt Homann, Fair Board President, explains that this week at the Farmer City DeWitt County Fair, the weather held off for most of the big events like the Fair Queen Competition and the Horse Races. 

Homann indicates that the main focus of the fair is agriculture and livestock showing. He notes that while those events may not draw a big audience, they bring in a lot of participants. 

Unfortunately, the weather was not so cooperative on Saturday, resulting in the cancellation of the day's biggest event, the tractor pulls. Homann says safety is their number one priority. 

Homann feels that even with the rain, the fair brings great economic benefits to the community. To keep up with updates, find the Farmer City and DeWitt County Fair on Facebook.
