LA GRANDE â The Union County Fair may ride again this summer.
The Union County Fair Board has voted to bring back the fair, which was canceled in the summer of 2020 because of COVID-19. Union County Fair Manager Suz Brazeau Red Hawk said the fair means so much to the youth of this community, many of whom show animals via FFA and 4-H, that the fair board decided to restore the event.
Brazeau Red Hawk said it also is important to go on with the fair because it has an integral place in the community.
âIt is a tradition,â she said. âIt has been around almost 150 years.â
While some school districts have started receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, teachers and staff members in 59 of Ohio s 88 counties are still waiting their turn.
And if the vaccine schedule for school districts looks random, that s because it is in a way.
The state didn t use set criteria for making the vaccine schedule for school districts, Gov. Mike DeWine s spokesman Dan Tierney told The Dispatch last week. There simply was not enough supply to do it in one week; therefore, we had to divide it into weeks and by nature some are going to go in Week One, some are going to go in Week Four, he said.
Give this yearâs Christmas tree another life after the yuletide celebrations by donating it to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commissionâs Habitat for the Holidays program.Â
The long-held tradition of cutting down or purchasing a real Christmas tree for the holiday season has seen a huge increase throughout American homes this year. When the eggnog is finished and the last of the holiday feasts are over, many of these trees are destined to sit next to the road until the sanitation department picks them up.Â
âInstead of letting that tree go to waste, we have drop-off locations to improve angling throughout the state,â Colton Dennis, AGFC South Arkansas Fisheries Habitat coordinator, said. âThroughout January anglers can create brush piles in nearby lakes from these donated trees, increasing fishing opportunities and habitat for themselves and other anglers.âÂ

Christmas trees become Habitat for the Holidays
LITTLE ROCK Give this year’s Christmas tree another life after the yuletide celebrations by donating it to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Habitat for the Holidays program.
The long-held tradition of cutting down or purchasing a real Christmas tree for the holiday season has seen a huge increase throughout American homes this year. When the eggnog is finished and the last of the holiday feasts are over, many of these trees are destined to sit next to the road until the sanitation department picks them up.
“Instead of letting that tree go to waste, we have drop-off locations to improve angling throughout the state,” Colton Dennis, AGFC South Arkansas Fisheries Habitat Coordinator, said. “Throughout January anglers can create brush piles in nearby lakes from these donated trees, increasing fishing opportunities and habitat for themselves and other anglers.”
