EDITORIAL: County Fair: Everyone in community can attend, participate in fair to reward kids for all their hard work

Hundreds of local youth will showcase their agricultural, baking, and arts and crafts projects next week during the 74th annual Angelina County Fair.

Many of these young people have been working toward this event for months. The reward for the winners is a spot in the live auction March 25 on the floor of the George H. Henderson Jr. Exposition Center. Many of those students put the money earned at the auction toward their project for next year or into an education fund. Contestants typically participate in 4-H, FFA or FCCLA.
