One of the big draws on the fair’s first day is the cooking and baking contests, including youth baking, homemade chocolate cake, angel food cake and blue ribbon apple pie. Judges (clockwise from left) Danielle Lucas, Gayle Stahlman and Angela Rice battled to determine who had made the best slow cooker dish.

There are clever decorations all around the fairgrounds, such as this sheep, which bears a message of thanks to those who have attended and will attend during the week.
