Open Class entries total 2,279 at Phillips County Fair

Though the total entries at this year's Phillips County Fair Open Class are down a bit from last year, the contest continues to ride a resurgence which started at 2015's 100th fair in Dodson and continues to delight fair-goers.

"Even though we are down this year, we are tickled pink by the number of entries this year," Phillips County Fair Board's Joy Linn said. "People thought the entries in Open Class would die off after the 100th anniversary but they haven't, so we are really excited about the future here for Open Class."

This year, a total of 2,279 projects were entered - 2,528 in 2017...
