BEVERLY -- The Randolph County Fair is getting started at 4-H Camp Pioneer in Beverly, Friday.
More than 300 Randolph County fourth graders visited the fairgrounds this afternoon for Education Day. This event provides the students a day of fun and learning.
Some of the sessions the students took part in at the Fair were Hank Peter's Lumberjack Show, sheep shearing, sauerkraut making, cow milking and more.
"It gives them a chance to learn a lot about Randolph County Heritage," said Amanda Swecker, President of the Randolph County Fair Board. "They've learned how to milk a cow today, they've learned about honeybees, they've learned a lot about our livestock animals we have. They even have Farm Olympics going on - they'll play farm related games."
Admission to the Randolph County Fair is $5 per person kids 10 and under get in free.
