• WHAT TO DO: Come out and watch kids show off their hard work. Many of the livestock shows and judging events take place before the fair is open, but you can see 4-H and FFA dairy goat showmanship at 5 p.m. in the goat show ring. Local children raise their animals and then compete in the judging; later, the animals are auctioned off -- you can watch that, too.
