The McLean County Fair is working on putting up their website, and they are looking for photos to use for personalizing the site. Do you have some photos taken at the fair in past years that you are willing to share? They are looking for photos from all aspects of the fair; 4-H and FFA shows, carnival, vendor show, car races, social events, etc. If you send photos with children in them, you need an e-mail or written permission to use them online. These photos can be e-mailed to Tamra Huesers at tamraj@rtc.coop, or phone her at 679-2030 for more information.
