It's not the full experience, but Chautauqua County 4-Hers are happy to be back at the fairgrounds in Dunkirk for this week's UnFair. The event was put together as a way for young people to show their animals in competition and get ready for the Meat Animal Sale, which gets underway today at 12:00 PM. Corinne Covert, a recent graduate of Southwestern Central School, will have a goat, a hog, and a pair of chickens up for bid...
Corinne Covert: great to be in person
Hannah Schauman of Panama will also have four animals on sale today. She says the UnFair is different, but she's glad to be back to show off her livestock...
Hannah Schauman: definitely different
The usual week-long events have been crammed into five days, but Garrett Lesch of Fredonia, who will sell a couple of animals today, says it's less stressful in one way...
Garrett Lesch: less stressful
Most of the UnFair is for 4-H members only, but the Meat Animal Sale is open to anyone who wants to bid. The UnFair came about following the cancellation of the full Chautauqua County Fair and was made possible with the cooperation of many volunteers, businesses, and local foundations.
