Although there weren't deer or elk at our annual county fair, there were plenty of rabbit, turkey and youth. From Tuesday, July 13th, to Sunday the 18th, Indian Lake Outfitters was able to talk with and educate local fair-goers about our business and what we have to offer. Although that was great exposure for us, we gained more by giving back to local youth.
We had the opportunity to bid on the Youth Grand Champion Peanut Brittle along with 14 other businesses, at the Baked Goods Auction. The Grand Champion peanut brittle was made by Allison Kinney. The bids hit an all time high record for the baked goods auction at $1500. We must say that little Allison knows how to bake because her peanut brittle tasted like a million bucks!
Kinney wasn't the only champion ILO was able to support. Long time fair-goers and sisters, Emily and Rachel Overs, won Market Lamb Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion. Rachel went on to win Grand Champion at the Ohio State Fair with her market lamb, setting a sale record at $45,000.
The Logan County Fair celebrated it's 156th year with Indian Lake Outfitters celebrating our first year with a long list of youth champions.
