It was a soggy Saturday at the Hardin County Fair. But the 62-degree temperature and the rainy remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon did not deter many hardy fair-goers.
Among the attractions at this year's fair were the usual rides, rabbits, and fair food, but also a first-time performance by young students of the Hardin County YMCA musical theatre troupe.
In spite of the nasty weather, most appeared to enjoy their day at the fair.
