During the Oct. 29 commission meeting held at the McLean County Courthouse in Washburn, Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources Sarah Bedgar gave an NDSU Extension update for McLean County.
“A lot has happened since September,” she told commissioners, first highlighting the North Dakota State Fair. “We had a busy state fair.”
Bedgar told commissioners she was “excited to announce” there was an 11% increase in static and exhibits with live animals.
