Livestock, some of the first attendees of the fair
PROSPECT — They have been preparing for this week for months.
Members of 4-H clubs and other farming groups have been grooming and training their livestock to put their best hoof forward at the Big Butler Fair, which, amid other festivities, has animal showings scheduled nearly every day through July 9.
Among those who will show their animals at the fair this year is Cydney McDeavitt, a Butler County 4-H member from Saxonburg. She said preparing her goats for their showings has kept her busy.
“I have 10 goats, so I have been clipping for the past two weeks,” McDeavitt said. “I had to get them all ready.”
