Pageantry at the Fair

Pageants on Sunday and Monday evenings provided excitement on the first two days of the 2012 Fayette County Fair in Brownstown.

In the first photo, Sarah Craig of rural Vandalia reacts as she is announced as the winner of this year's Junior Miss Fayette County Fair pageant on Sunday. In the second photo, NickWollerman puts his award-winning sheep on display for potential buyers at the annual 4-H Livestock Auction on Tuesday evening. Photo galleries from the fair will be online at www.leaderunion.com later this week.
