SEBRING — The 71st Annual Highlands County Fair will feature livestock exhibits, carnival games, yummy food, gravity defying rides, agricultural and other exhibitors, plus live entertainment from Friday Feb. 8 through Saturday Feb.16, at Fireman's Field. Richard McClain, fair director of the Highlands County Fair Association, talked about the livestock exhibits – his favorite part of the fair – as the first of more than 100 semi-tractor trailers were unloaded Monday at the fairgrounds. The fair gets kids involved in a project and keeps them busy since they need to work with their animals everyday," said McClain. "They're growing up and learning how to make a profit." McClain expects 4-H members to exhibit 40 steer, 29 heifers, 105 hogs, 71 rabbits and 78 poultry. Fair preparation is a year-long event for both participants and staff. ...more
