Beaty Family Score Big at Both Fairs

The Lucas County Fair Grand Champion Market Steer division was won this year by ten-year-old Mikenzy Beaty, daughter of Brian and Dawn Beaty of Russell, on August 3rd.  The steer was also named the heavyweight division champion as well.

Mike's team was named 1st in the best matched team class and was named the high point performer for the days activities.
