Thursday night was Cattlemen and Farmers Day. The day pays tribute to local cattlemen, cattlewomen, and agriculturalists. The fair also celebrates the accomplishments of the industrial arts program, and attendees enjoyed a barbecue steak dinner, and found out who won Cattleman of the Year, Cattlewoman of the Year, and Agriculturalist of the Year. This year, the award recipients were George Donati, (Agriculturalist of the Year); Suze Evenson, (CattleWoman of the Year); and Mike Massey, (Cattleman of the Year).
