Another FUN and EXCITING aspect of Dan Murphy, the Photographer’s photojournalism career was traveling around and covering many county fairs, festivals and rodeos.  There are many fun activities; carnivals, concerts, fireworks and livestock activities; plus hard working staff and volunteers that help to insure every fair’s success.  Dan’s favorite assignments included the livestock area, where kids from 4-H and Future Farmers of America (FFA) clubs show off their animals and vie for awards and monetary prizes.  County fairs bring joy and happiness to many participants and fair goers alike.
