The 2023 Humboldt County Fair came off without a hitch last week. Warm temperatures earlier in the week even moderated by week's end, providing an enjoyable time for youth and adults alike. All three of the charged grandstand attractions, the Outlaw Truck and Tractor Pull, Tough Trucks and the Tyler Farr and Jake Worthington concert, drew large crowds. The annual woodcarving auction of items created by chainsaw artist Lynn Anderson raised $12,125, including a winning $5,500 bid from Seiler Appliance for two carvings of American flags with relief work to make it look like the flags were blowing in the wind. Russ Seiler donated one of the flags to Humboldt veteran Jeremy Stattelman. See photos from the fair in this week's Humboldt Independent and see more photos and all of the 4-H and FFA results in the Aug. 10 Humboldt Independent.
