What would a County Fair on a historic farm be without a showcase for agriculture?

This is the first year that the reimagined Hamilton County Fair - presented by Little Debbie - will be held at McDonald Farm in Sale Creek.

This Veterans Day weekend at the Fair, you’ll find “Shorty” there.

Renita Beaty - who goes by “Shorty” - is Soil Conservationist for Hamilton County Soil Conservation District.

She’s also Vice President of the Hamilton County Farm Bureau Board.

Shorty provides education on agriculture and conservation for everyone from pre-schoolers to adults - and she’ll be sharing that knowledge at the Fair.
