Silvers/Tribune photo After a week of serious fair competition, participants race toward a bucket filled with water and whiffle balls during a game that was part of the Barnyard Olympics Friday afternoon at the Bourbon County Fair. The game involved contestants -- 4-H'ers and local "celebrities" using spoons to fish the balls out of the water, then racing back to their team with a goal of collecting the most balls for their team. The fair concludes today with the Jordan Snyder Memorial ATV Shodeo beginning at 6 p.m.
