Community, 4-H remain focus of upcoming Farm Show

The Butler Farm Show board is working on additional security for its upcoming 76th annual show because of the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at the farm show grounds while keeping the event focused on community and 4-H youth exhibitors.

The board is developing a plan for security to supplement security provided by a private firm and the county sheriff’s office that is in place every year, said Ken Laughlin, board president.

“We’re working on a plan,” Laughlin said. The show is scheduled for Aug. 5 to 10.

“We always have private security and the sheriffs,” Laughlin said.
