McLean Fair has plenty of livestock

BLOOMINGTON - Swine numbers are up slightly and goats continue to grow at the McLean County Fair.

"Horses are down a little bit, just because we had probably 10 horse exhibitors age out of 4-H last year," explained McLean County Fair Manager Mike Swartz.

Sheep are holding their own at 169. Also, the rabbit and poultry numbers are slowly growing at 5-10 per year.

"We're very fortunate. You talk to other county fairs and they may be struggling to keep up the numbers, but we have a wonderful McLean County that supports the 4-H Fair."

The 2016 McLean County Fair runs through Sunday at the McLean County Fairgrounds west of Bloomington on Route 9.
