Today is National Dog Day! The Madison County Fair 4-H dog show was the first day of the fair this year. It had many different options for our youth, including showmanship, agility and obedience. Our 4-H kids work hard all year to train their dogs to be well behaved. Here are a few pictures from this year's dog show.

🏫Back - To - School 👩‍🏫

Soon our area schools will be back in session, we hope you all have an AMAZING year filled with learning and fun!

With back to school in mind we would like to share about our schoolhouse on the fairgrounds.

The schoolhouse was called District 48, or the Good Cheer School. It was operational until about 2008. It was located 2 1/2 miles North of Madison. The land was purchased, and the fairgrounds obtained the building and moved it in 2011. Originally, the Malone family changed a hen house into a school back in 1885, since there was no school in the area. That is when District 48 was born. It was small, so in 1877 they moved to a new building that is now corn crib. This schoolhouse was built around 1924, making it 101 years old! The one room schoolhouse holds antique desks, books, chalkboards and pictures of classes from the past. We love that we have this amazing history on our fairgrounds!

We love all the suggestions we have received so far regarding the fair and appreciate your feedback. We have many things to consider with each suggestion, and we try to do what is best for the county as a whole. While we do love traditions, it is ok to try new things. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Today we would like to know your thoughts on tickets and seating.

We have had suggestions in the past to go away from reserved seating; this would allow us to have one ticket price and make seating first come first serve in all areas of our arena. Is this something you are interested in trying?

Do you like the fun passes?

How do our prices compare?

Today is National Parents Day, let's give a big shout out to all our 4-H parents!

*Share your favorite parent/family picture below!

In barns and fields, through projects and strife,
you guide your child, giving wings to their life.
Early mornings, late nights, a tireless hand,
Helping them learn, helping them understand.

From market animals to a prize-winning pie,
You're there cheering, with a twinkle in your eye.
You haul the projects, and you lend an ear,
Wiping away the occasional tear.

Though ribbons and trophies may shine bright and new,
The skills learned within, are thanks to you.
Cooperation, leadership, service, and care,
Lessons for life, beyond compare.

For the dedication, the patience, the push,
For every kind word, and every encouraging flush,
Thank You, 4-H parent, for all that you do,
Your child, and their future, are shaped by you.

The Madison County Ag Society is made up of 15 members that are voted on by registered voters in Madison County. These members work very hard to get everything together for the fair but there is no way we could do this all on our own.

We would like to send out a special Thank You to our families!

This really is a family affair. Spouses, kids, parents and grandparents all put in just as much work as board members. Many have been out working equipment, working in the beer garden, helping backstage, donating use of equipment, being runners, walking in the parades, really anything we ask, they are there! They are all volunteering their time to help make the fair successful. Not only do they put in hard work, but they are also understanding when members are pulled in all directions and very busy during the fair.

We are truly grateful for our family support system and cannot thank them enough!
