If you are looking for something to do tonight, I urge you to come out to the Putnam County Fairgrounds in East Palatka about 7:00PM.
As a child growing up I was fortunate to be involved in raising livestock every year to show and sell at the Putnam County Fair. It taught me a great deal of responsibility in several facets of life. I’m grateful for all of the support I had all those years ago from our business community.
As an adult, I’m proud to support our local youth every year at the Market Steer and Swine sale. I look forward to receiving letters every year as it brings back memories of writing and hand-delivering letters in my youth! We are excited this year to once again be a part of the huge group of businesses and individuals that continue to invest in the future of Putnam County’s deep agricultural roots.
These children and young adults put a tremendous amount of time and work into their animals and tonight is the night they get to “reap what they’ve sown” over the last several months. Even if you have no desire to purchase one of these animals, you can make monetary donations in the form of an “add-on” or you can simply come attend the sale to show your support! Let’s pack the pavilion tonight and show just how wonderful our community really is!
