BARLOW -- The 151st Barlow Independent Fair featured everything from animals to the music of Appalachia from Friday through Sunday.
This year's Grand Champion Steer belonged to Colten Work and sold at Saturday's auction for a whopping $10,500. Work plans to donate every cent of the proceeds to the Harper Jo Autism Fund, for the purchase of a service dog.
The Reserve Grand Champion belonged to Aiden Woodruff and sold for $2,700.
A special addition to this year's fair was the Pampered Pets Petting Zoo, owned and operated by, Missy Antill. This feature attracted animal lovers of all ages and backgrounds as they strolled through to feed and pet the animals.
"The animals have always been my favorite part of the fair," said Kayla Flescher of Williamstown. "They are what makes the fair so special."
The Americana blues stylings and upbeat groove of fan-favorite band Back Porch Alibi drew crowds around the gazebo Saturday night.
