"Wow!"

That pretty much summed up the Hamilton County Ag Society’s assessment of this year’s county fair.

The ‘wow!’ could have been directed at the quality of livestock and exhibitors, the quality of the midway, the packed commercial booth area, the new grounds entertainment or the weather -- all were deserving if you listened to judges and fair-goers.

But this particular ‘wow!’ was directed at the grandstand where the Casey Donahew Band drew an audience of more than 2,200 Saturday night.
