Local Roots at the Wayne County Fair

A big thank to the Wayne County Sustainable Energy Network for sharing some of their booth space with us this year at the Wayne County Fair!

Jodi Robinson, a WCSEN member, was generous in providing us with some beautiful imagery of award winning produce at this year's fair. Thank you Jodi!

Fair Weather, Friends!

The Wayne County Fair -- billed as Ohio's premier agricultural fair -- starts today and runs through next Thursday, September 17. Amid all the fun and fried food on the main routes through the fairgrounds, you'll also find the barns where local 4-H members display the results of their hard work, from cooking projects to animal husbandry.

And along with this tribute to our rich agricultural region, you'll also find Local Roots represented at the Wayne County Sustainable Energy Network tent, across from the Junior Fair goat and poultry barns. (Hey, location, location, location, right?)

Come and say hello! Pick up a brochure or any of our other flyers, and let us know that you're interested in learning more about supporting local agriculture and local foods.

See you at the Fair!
