2019 Jay County Fair

Pictured, clockwise from right, Gunner Lawrence, 2, grins while riding the carousel on the midway; 7-year-old Aleah Roush forgoes her fork to take a big bite out of a piece of free watermelon distributed by Jay County Republicans; and Everett Harwel, 5, shakes hands with “Rob Ot,” who will be riding around the fair throughout the rest of the week.
