The 2012 Crawford County Fair does not officially start for all until Wednesday, however, there has been plenty of 4-H activities already taking place leading up to the start of the fair. I have been fortunate enough to have covered some of these events. I really enjoy attending the fair every year and try to get to as much as possible. Early, late, it doesn't matter, I like it. Lots of great photo opportunities all week. It will be hot but a lot of fun.
