HAMLET — It’s nearing time for an annual fall tradition and the Richmond County Agricultural Fair is seeking submissions for exhibits
The annual fair, which serves as a fundraiser for the Hamlet Lions Club, is scheduled for Sept. 12-15.
For the barn, the fair is accepting entries of beef and dairy cattle, goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, guineas, geese, pigeons, doves, pheasants, peacocks and quail. No swine are being accepted “due to public health concerns.”
Tractor Supply is providing the bedding and feed for the animals in the barn while on display.
Food and craft exhibits are being accepted in both youth and adult divisions including food and agriculture, clothing and crafts.
The competition is open to all residents of Richmond County and ribbons will be awarded to first-, second-, and third-place winners.
Exhibits can be entered Sunday, Sept. 8, from 1-5 p.m. and Monday, Sept. 9 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. All exhibits must be picked up from 1-5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15.
