Adult supervisors also are stationed in all of the livestock barns, keeping an eye on the animals and conditions. Brian Bosshamer, youth educator for the Buffalo County Extension office, said people are taking precautions at the Buffalo County Fair. There are fans and tarps on hand, and no animals have died as a result of the heat. Bosshamer is counting on rain and cooler weather. It looks like we'll get some relief later in the week.
Rain puts everyone in a better mood.
As bad as the weather was Thursday, Wasem said it might have been worse earlier in the week. We didn't have a breeze on Monday like we do today, and it was miserable. Still, Wasem said people coming out for the Hamilton County Fair will undoubtedly be looking for a little relief. One exhibitor, unknowingly, may play a part. Considering the sultry weather, Wasem said, the exhibitor might get plenty of attention.
