- Roger Gordon

The 168th Portage County Fair will be held from Tuesday, Aug. 25, to Sunday, Aug. 30, at the county fairgrounds in Randolph. As usual, attractions will include animal shows, scavenger hunts, workshops, live music, games, classes, auctions, games and contests. Not to mention, a great variety of good eats, too. Grandstand events will include demolition derbies, tractor races, tractor and truck pulls and a Rough Truck Contest. Gates will open each day at 7 a.m. and will close at 11 p.m. For ticket information and more details, visit randolphfair.com.

The Atwater Fire Department would like to thank the township residents for their generous donations of school supplies during their “Stuff the Fire Truck” event on Aug. 15. These donations are greatly appreciated and will certainly benefit the students and school. It was the fire department’s biggest collection of school supplies to date.
