Rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of 4-H’ers who exhibited projects and demonstrated all the hard work they’d put into raising their animals at the Noble County Community Fair July 11-18. Whether it was sewing construction, crafts and photography, or Boer goats, alpacas and

swine, the talents of Noble County 4-H’ers were on display for everyone to see. This scrapbook commemorates their achievements, and we look forward to seeing what they’ll accomplish at the 2016 Noble County Community Fair.
