Hot weather and sunny skies highlighted a busy week at the annual East Otter Tail County Fair last week. The Perham-based fair featured a number of rides in the midway, as well as animals, 4-H projects and even a few barnyard games between members of local 4-H groups. One of the games featured youth pouring a five-gallon bucket of watter over their head as part of a relay race. There was also the tug of war and a number of other races between teams. There were also a number of grandstand events including a tractor pull and demo derby as well.
