The 2019 Chaffee County Fair 4-H Judging for Poultry and Rabbits took place Wednesday, July 31 in the Little River Rabbit Building at the Chaffee County Fairgrounds. 4-H members could be found all over the building, tending to their animals, awaiting the judgment of their hard work and determining the prize-winning animals. The hubbub was cheerful, the kids determined. The animals — for the most part oblivious to the commotion.
