The dates for the Geary County Fair are quickly approaching.

Ginger Kopfer, 4H Extension Agent, says that 4H entries are higher this year.

“We’re up a lot in foods and photography – both of those took a big jump,” said Kopfer. “We added a category for breeding swine, and we haven’t done that since I’ve been here and it’s something that [they] used to have; you  know with swine, there seems like there’s a lot of diseases – and that happens in pigs.”

Kopfer says that the health concerns with Swine are looking more optimistic in recent years so they brought the category back.

“They’re controlling those [diseases] more now so we opened that category back up and we have a few kids that are bringing [those],” said Kopfer.

The Geary County Free Fair is July 18th through the 21st.
