Welcome to the Linn County Fair held in Albany. This facility is Oregon's newest fair and expo facility. It felt open and roomy right by the airport and I-5 Freeway. |

Ken needs more money for some of the 4 basic food groups. |

A very neat amusement area. |

Who expected to see snakes and lizards at the fair. Well, I guess that's just fine. One glass container appeared empty. I wonder if something got out? |

The 4H auction is the culmination of the 4H members project. They have
to care for their animal and get it ready for market. Then they go to potential
buyers in the area to get commitments to bid on their animal. It is very
common for a member of 4H while learning personal discipline, responsibility,
respect and social skills to make enough money at the 4H market auction
to pay for college. This 230 pound pig sold for $4.35 per pound. Let's listen to a little auction action may take a few seconds to load. |

As we were leaving folks were lining up to see Toby Keith a country western star. This was a big deal. |
