The pedal tractor pull was just one of many activities that kept fairgoers entertained this past week. Kids like Ryatt Cano, pictured competing Saturday, enjoyed showing animals and projects, participating in the parade, playing carnival games and more throughout the July 24-30 Phillips County Fair. Evening activities including barrel racing, a ranch rodeo, stock car races and a CPRA rodeo were fun for adults and kids alike to watch. Additional fair coverage can be found in our e-Edition (Click here to subscribe), and be sure to look for the special keepsake edition later this month for full results from 4-H and open class entries. — Photo by Jes-c French
