Boy howdy - you Boone County Folks know how to have a good time, and it’s, apparently, always a big time too! Weekend after weekend of shows, music, cars, displays, gatherings, fun events and now, with my first “County Fair” edition that almost didn’t make it! It’s been proving to be a difficult transition simply because of all the amazing things that are going on around the county! Economic Developmentally speaking, it’s awesome to see a community like Albion become a “hub” community, and to have the entire county utilize and patronize the fun things going on around the area all the time. The Boone County Fair edition is a big one here at the office - I was warned, and I fear I was found lacking for the first time in a long time.
