10 Years Ago This Week - 2009 The Grundy County Fair has a lot to offer, and last week it strut- ted its stuff. The fair started Monday, July 20, at the fairgrounds in Grundy Center, with Non-Livestock Exhibit judging and end on Saturday with Figure 8 races. Activities and events were jam-packed into the week. The Grundy County Fair Board and its directors work hard - very hard - to maintain the fairgrounds. A tour through the grounds reveals well-maintained buildings, new construction, meticulously groomed large, grassy areas, creative landscaping and beautiful flowers. Memorial flags, trees, and the gazebo’s brick sidewalks enhance the fairgrounds. During the fair, at designated sites, 4-H’ers and FFA chapter members decorated tractor tires to create vignettes throughout the fairgrounds Phelps Implement, Ti- tan Machinery, and Liberty Motors displayed farm machinery and trucks. There were hand-washing stations donated to the fair board by Grundy County Memorial Hospital. Litter was minimal and the bathrooms were clean. Friendly and helpful 4-H’ers and FFA chap- ter members were everywhere on the grounds and at each venue. An atmosphere of goodwill and cooperation prevailed. And there was something for everyone who came to the fair! New to the fair were egg roll and rooster crowing contests.
