What a treat to attend the 2016 Boulder County Fair last week. This county fair is the oldest county fair in the state of Colorado, begun in 1869. It was moved from Boulder to Longmont, Colorado in 1885.
I certainly appreciated the heroic efforts of all of the fair participants. They spend a great deal of time and investment to contribute to the fair's success each year.
