With the hard decision the Fair Board made to cancel the commercial side of the Rooks County Free Fair due to COVID-19 this year, there is still some excitement for the 4-H and FFA boys and girls since there will be a 4-H and FFA Fair! This means their crafts, livestock, foods, arts, photography, etc. they worked so hard on throughout the year can still be judged.

With the primary election just around the corner on Tuesday, August 4th, the Stockton Sentinel sent out questionnaires to the candidates in contested races.
