Livestock Champions bring good prices

POMEROY–The Garfield County Fair was filled with livestock, crafts, pictures of all kinds, flowers, wood craft, baked goods, canning, dehydrating and so much more; the usual collection of items to show and share. Some events were changed up a bit to observe precaution or accommodate a greater number of entries. Whatever the case, the results of the judged events are captured here for you.
