Bad weather didn’t stop the Clarke County Junior Livestock Show and Sale this past Friday.
People in the community came out Friday night to show support for all the 4-H kids as they brought their animals out for sale.
“We had a good sale,” proclaimed Roy Higdon, who helped with the Clarke County Junior Livestock Show and Sale. “Considering all the weather and people out working in the weather and all, we think we had a really good sale. A lot of our officials and all were out riding the roads Friday night checking on problems and things like that, so I’d say we had a good sale considering.”
