A wonderful project for this year's fair. Thank you for the dedication & hard work!!

When the Turner County Fair Board met earlier this year, they wanted to find a way to celebrate America 250 while also finding a solution for a fence that was badly in need in repair. They found the perfect way to cover both with their Barn Quilt Contest, and the perfect person to head it up in board member Karen Larsen. Daughters of former New Era Editor Roana Ostrom came together from all over the country last week to take part in the contest, which they say combines their love of country with the love of the fair. Read that story and more in this week’s New Era, on the newsstands today!
