MORE SCENES FROM THE TIPPECANOE COUNTY 4-H FAIR

Based in Lafayette correspondent Vincent Walter captured more moments from this week’s Tippecanoe County 4-H Fair. The fair continues today (check schedule here) and runs through Saturday. Check these out:

Emma Fritz, left, and Teddy King share a laugh after Fritz took championship honors in the Western Horsemanship competition Wednesday afternoon at the Tippecanoe County 4-H Fair.

Ava Carlson is congratulated as reserve champion for swine showmanship at the Tippecanoe County 4-H Fair Wednesday.

Keegan Spray secured the championship trophy for swine showmanship Wednesday afternoon.

Rain came to the Tippecanoe County 4-H Fair Wednesday. It's certainly not the first rain this Indiana-made 1930 Rumely "Oil Pull" tractor's steering wheel has weathered. 

Kids came together in the Colosseum to do “The Chicken Dance” Wednesday afternoon at the Tippecanoe County 4-H Fair.
