9/6/2019

 
    Dangers posed by the African Swine Fever have brought changes to the market hog competition at this year's Solanco Fair.

Cindy Bollinger is Solanco Fair’s Grand Marshal

8/25/2019

 
    Cindy Bollinger begins organizing the Solanco Fair's annual dairy cattle shows long before the first animal is unloaded.
    She sends out entry forms to anyone who exhibited the previous year, keeps track of the entries as they come back, creates the show catalogues, records the results, and makes sure the winners get their premiums for two days of dairy cattle shows at the annual Solanco Fair.
    She's been doing it for 47 years and that's one reason the fair's board of directors chose Bollinger to lead the annual street parade as the Grand Marshal.

7/26/2019

 
    Organizers of the Solanco Fair Parade are trying to encourage more individuals and groups to design and build floats for the annual event.
    They hope creating a new award - a grand prize for the best float - will encourge more entries. With that award will come a cash prize of $250. That's the most money presented for any winning entry in the annual fall celebration.
    "We're trying to encourage more floats," fair parade committee chairman Jeff Minnich said.

    "We're trying to stay with the fair theme [sports spectacular]," said chapter vice president Andrew Aument.

    "A lot of us have coats that are too small."
    That doesn't mean those coats should spend the coming winter in a closet, Smith Middle School eighth grader Sophie Plechner said last week.    Plechner and other members of the school's Pride Ambassadors are trying to drum up enthusiasm for this year's Coats for Kids campaign.
    The annual effort is already underway and has just over two weeks to collect, sort, and clean coats, mittens, gloves, hats, scarves, and sweaters. The winter wear will then be distributed to anyone in the Southern End who needs warm clothing to get through the colder months ahead.
