If you've been to our site lately, you may have seen the new green ribbon on the Home page. This is a little explaination for you.:

In addition to nineteen International Fairs and Festivals awards, Barton County Fair has been designated as a Green Ribbon Fair sponsored by the United Soybean Board. The Green Ribbon award is a national grant program awarded to twelve fairs for their focus using bio-friendly soy based products. The grant will be used to purchase soy based products to be used at the fair. Soy based paint is being used for the Expo III doors and they are adding soy based de-greaser this year. Barton County Fair has been incorporating soy based products for eight years. The carnival and all the equipment runs on bio-diesel, Soy based ink is used to print the fair books.

Congratulations to all who helped make this possible!!
