Livingston County Fair President Shane Baxter said Livingston County 4-H and FFA youth continue to be strongly supported by area businesses and individuals who made the livestock sale such a success again this year.
Baxter said the Fair Board recognizes and appreciates the life lessons that support and commitment helps to provide for youth through the sale.
