The 4-H groups from Carey and Picabo have been working hard for the past several months preparing for the upcoming Blaine County Fair, scheduled Aug. 5-10 at the Blaine County Fairgrounds in Carey.
The theme for this year’s fair is “Show, Play, Ride,” and the grand marshals are Matt Thornton and Teresa (Tree) Bosch.
An event new to the fair this year is the concert, which will begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 7, at the rodeo grounds. Heath Owens will open the performance, and EllieMae Millenkamp will headline. Millenkamp is from Jerome, and she rose to stardom after being a contestant on the popular singing show “The Voice” in 2019.
