The Grant County Fair at the Cliff Fairgrounds hosted not only animals and their keepers, but a carnival that brought people to ride the rollercoaster and rides that slung people around. Vendors promoted their wares and in the afternoon, awards were handed to winners in livestock and poultry contests, as well as clean barn awards, livestock judging awards and the winners of the Second Annual Baking Contest which brought 52 entries in five categories this year.
