Last week was a unique and abnormal fair week. The majority of the families involved with Beresford’s Helping Hands 4-H Club sustained moderate to major storm damage on Monday night. July 28, right in the midst of the Lincoln County Fair.
Most of the members live in the area just north of Beresford that was hit especially bad. Thankfully, despite the damage, everyone’s livestock projects were safe and were able to be exhibited.
More than 40 Beresford area students were involved with the fair. Here are many of the results and some photographs.
