Cooler temps made for a 'grand' opening of the 40th Bates County Fair this evening- complete with a long parade and crowning of Little Miss and Little Mr. Bates County, Keagan Harrison and Keaton Scott.

Contestants lined up for the talent show to be followed by the annual Bash later this evening.

We've still got a full week ahead! Schedule highlights of the 2012 Fair are included below.
