New Colorado County Fair float unveiled

COLUMBUS–After 30 years, the Colorado County Fair royalty gets a new float courtesy of the many hours of dedicated service it took fair members and great sponsors. Fair volunteer Ronnie Huebel brought the float to the fairgrounds, and then all hands were on deck to piece it together and see how it looked in its final state.

The design and construction of the float were no small feat. Every detail was

meticulously planned, with the float be ing designed for road travel, allowing it to fold tight and be covered with a tarp. Upon reaching its designated parade, the float unfolds into a stunning All-Amer ican spectacle. Its red, white, and blue theme is a powerful symbol of the enduring patriotism found in many rural towns across America, a testament to the dedication of the fair members and sponsors who brought this vision to life.
