Youths displayed, showed and sold their beef, poultry, swine, sheep and rabbits. The fair wraps up it’s weeklong run Friday night with the “Rockin on Route 50” concert featuring the Champaign Illinois country band “The Feudin’ Hillbillys.” General admission is $15 and reserved seats are $20. The show will begin in the Main Building at the fairgrounds at 8 p.m. CDT with the gates opening at 6:30 p.m. A beer garden will also open at 6:30 p.m.
