The Clay County Fair returned in full force last Saturday after a two-year hiatus.
Visitors have been packing the fairgrounds in Spencer over the past week to check out the many shows, livestock exhibit, commercial expo, Grandstand performances and much more. You can't blame them for having fear of missing out on the big event – last year's fair was shelved due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Area residents who haven't gotten to Spencer yet still have ample time to enjoy the festivities. The fair runs through Sunday, Sept. 19.
