Sunday is Ag Day at the Saline Fair

Guests are invited to sample locally produced food.

The annual Saline Community Fair parade was held in downtown Saline Saturday afternoon.

We captured most of the parade on video, starting with the car escorting Miss Saline 2011, Aubrey LaVasseur.

Saturday evening's storms wreaked havoc on Fair events. All evening events were cancelled. Sunday's antique tractor show has also been cancelled. Saturday's Auto Enduro event moves to 7 p.m. Sunday. The cement slab tractor pull moves from Sunday morning to 9 a.m. Monday.

Sunday is Ag Day at the fair. The big event is the Taste of Agricultural, which takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is included with paid gate admission. The first 500 attendees will receive Taste of Agriculture tickets as they take in lessons about local agriculture at the various educational stations. The tickets then can be redeemed at various food stands throughout the fairgrounds. Topics include animal care, crop production and more. There will also be related demonstrations. Farmers will also be on hand to talk to patrons.

Children who complete all the stations will be entered into a drawing for a new bike. The winner must be present at 2:30 p.m. to receive the bike.
