Paris, Tenn.–There was a full house and a busy show ring at Thursday night’s annual Henry County Fair Junior Livestock Sale.
A total 94 livestock–steer, hogs, lambs and goats–were auctioned off and the mild weather lent itself to a large crowd inside the Livestock Barn. The sale also was televised on Facebook Live thanks to the Henry County Fair and was broadcast on our radio station WLZK.
The sale was opened with Finley Homesley singing the National Anthem, with the four Grand Champion exhibitors presenting Colors. Fair officials said, “We are so humbled by everyone’s generosity in giving back to the Junior Livestock program of Henry County.”
