You never know what you'll see at the county fair

The steer showmanship judging was at the Manatee County Fair Wednesday night.

With so many four-legged critters and young people taking part, you never know what you'll see.

There might even be steer just as curious about you as you are it.

FYI, if you haven't been to the fair yet, what are you waiting for?

The fair ends Sunday. Bet there is a corn dog or dish of strawberry shortcake with your name on it.

One of the main attractions of the fair is the steer sale. That's set for 2 p.m. Saturday. Come on out and buy one at auction, or sit a spell and watch the bidding action.
