| Caroline County Agricultural Fair |

| WINNERS The two students who won the "Greatest Grandparent Essay Contest," sponsored by the Caroline County Agricultural Fair, were recognized June 7 at their respective grades' award assemblies held at Caroline Middle School. Francine Whittaker, the fair's president, presented sixth grader Chris Blanton and seventh grader Mekhia Wright with their cash prizes of fifty dollars, as well as two tickets each to this summer's fair. The contest asked its Caroline Middle School participants to explain why they had the greatest grandmother or grandfather using 100 words or less. Mekhia's essay recalled her grandmother Barbara Dabney's unconditional love and sacrifice, while Chris wrote about his grandfather Douglass Javins being a hard worker and family man. |

| PAVILION GROUND BREAKING |
| we opened with the Ground Breaking for the new W.B. Coleman, Sr. Pavilion. Mr. Coleman, a Caroline native, was a farmer, an educator and an administrator, but, most of all, he was a family man. We were pleased to have his family join us, his Fair family, in starting the new campaign to build a pavilion in his memory. |
