Hello once again, my friends. This article finds us in the middle of a deluge of rain, several areas experiencing flooding and hail storms. That being said, summer is coming and with it the wonderful array of delicious foods that come with it. We always think of the grill and, frankly, that does define summer in a lot of ways, but sooner or later that grilled meat needs some sides.

The Carroll County Fair begins next week, and there are a plethora of opportunities to showcase the talents of youth and adults alike in Carroll County through 4-H and Open exhibits.

Flip through the fair catalog and consider entering exhibits. Exhibit departments range from art, photography, and floral arrangements to foods, textiles and horticulture. Carroll County Fair catalogs are available at the Extension Office.

That is what members of the Carroll County Teen Council are doing. I am so fortunate to work with these teens who are growing in this area and making a difference in our community.
