It was fun at the fair last weekend, when people headed to the Washington County Fairgrounds to celebrate the event’s 225th anniversary. Kids – and some adults, too! – hopped aboard their favorite carnival rides, while others admired the animals and agricultural exhibits. The fair continues through this weekend.
