Extreme heat couldn't stop fair lovers and 4-Hers at this year's McLean County Fair.

Anna Ziegler, McLean County Farm Bureau Manager, told Regional Radio on the Noon Farm Show Thursday that fairgoers should dress in light clothing, bring water, and utilize their air-conditioned buildings to stay cool. 

Katie Buckley is County Director for the U of I Extension serving Livingston, McLean, and Woodford Counties, and she explains that about 650 4-Hers came to the fairgrounds with over 4,500 projects, including livestock. 

The McLean County Fair works with the McLean County Emergency Management Agency to make the safest decisions based on the heat and the possibility of rain as the fair wraps up this weekend.
