Area 4-H’ers, FFA members, and those who love pork chops on a stick will be “Stirrin’ Up Some Fun” at the Keokuk County Expo July 11-15 in Sigourney.

The expo is the official county fair for Keokuk 4-H and FFA, and there will be competitions for them as well as for infants, with the baby show on Saturday afternoon. There are activities for kids and families to enjoy throughout the week, and Expo board member Dana Abell mentions a few of the events, “The scavenger hunt is something that we’ve been doing for many years, as far as I know. It’s something to get the kids involved in, and they go all over the fairgrounds and hunt for the stuff that we’ve asked for. The different contests like the marshmallow eating contest and the hot dog eating contest, those aren’t unique to Keokuk County Expo, but it’s just something fun that we do to get the kids involved and give them activities to do during the day.”

The KCII Big Red Radio will be broadcasting live from the Keokuk County Expo on July 12 and 13 as part of the KCII Summer Town Tour.
