Bonham -- Goats are being groomed, sheep are being shown to their quarters, rabbits are ready for the big show, pigs are proud to be included and chickens are chuckling over all the attention they are getting.

All that's missing from the Fannin County Fair is you!

Wednesday and Thursday are arm band nights; tickets are $20 each night.

The Fannin County Fair opens Wednesday evening.  Blue ribbons are already hanging from artwork, crafts and photography.
