(Atlantic, Iowa) – A full week of activities during the Cass County Fair begins tomorrow (Thursday), in Atlantic. The Horse Show takes place at 2-p.m., with the 4-H/FFA Food Sale at 5-p.m., in the lobby of the Cass County Community Center next to the fairgrounds. The 4-H/FFA Exhibits are also open to the public at 5-p.m.

Everything brought in for judging will be offered for sale, minus a small piece where the judge cut out a sample. Only the baked goods selected for State Fair will not be sold, as the whole item will be on display throughout the Cass County Fair. Recipes of each baked item are even included, so you can bake that award-winning banana bread for yourself! Items on sale vary depending on exhibits created by local 4-Hers. Cookies, bars, cakes, pies, breads, muffins and rolls are all common offerings. Fresh garden produce and canned goods are occasionally offered as well.

The featured meal Thursday at the Food Stand is a Roast Pork Sandwich.
