Organizers for Seward’s King’s Fair couldn’t have picked a better day. There were lots of people out enjoying all of the fun activities – from the strong man competition to pony rides and a petting zoo to two stages for music. We heard lots of comments saying that this was the best King’s Fair yet. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our table – it’s always so much fun to talk to readers.
For coverage of this event, we were lucky enough to have Seward-based photographer and designer Jennifer Larson capture the day with her excellent photography. Enjoy the recap!
