C.J. Goldman won Grand Champion honors for the steer show with his Main Anjou Steer named Rellik. Lincoln Co. 4-H Show Team traveled to Augusta, Ga. to participate in the 86th Annual Georgia Carolina State Fair held in Richmond County on October 18, 2008. The Georgia Carolina Fair is one of the oldest fairs in the state and the livestock show was as exciting as year's past.

This year's fair was truly good for our Lincoln County Show team members, especially C.J. Goldman and Ivie S. Aycock.
