"We've had a lot of calls on it," Hannon said. "We're selling quite a few tickets for that."

Something else new to see this year is the 9/11 Never Forget mobile exhibit, a built-to-travel museum — a high-tech, 53-foot semitrailer, which unfolds into a 1,100-square-foot exhibit. It will be on the grounds from Sunday to July 30.

Hannon said it's so large that they have to use part of the fair's commercial parking lot for the exhibit, which honors the memory of those lost in the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

Saturday marks one of the most exciting days for Joan Grott, 4-H extension educator. It's when the third annual 4-H 4-Mile Hustle Run & Walk and Kids' Fun Run will be held. The race kicks off at 8 a.m.

"I'm encouraging people to stick around then because at 10:30 a.m. we have our 4-H barbecue competition," Grott said. "The 4-H kids set up grills. Our older kids are creating five-course meals."

At noon is the 4-H food auction, where champions of the various food divisions re-bake their items and auction them off. Proceeds go toward the 4-H scholarship account.

Grott said this past school year funds from the auction allowed them to give 10 $1,000 scholarships to some of the graduating 4-H junior leaders.
