The wind and rain blew in just in time for the first day of the Angelina County Fair at the George H. Henderson Expo Center, but did nothing to stop a very successful kick off to this 67th annual event presented by Brookshire Brothers. 

Area students took part in rabbit and broiler competitions, while other youth served up their best cakes, desserts, and cheesecakes.  Some of those that won blue ribbons were able to stop by the Merrell in the Morning show to share their stories and their sweets. (see video above)

Today (Wednesday), cookies, pies, and breads will be judged while arts & crafts, hogs, goats, lambs, ag mech, horses, and commercial heifer record books will be checked in.

Here's a list of some of the winners from Tuesday's fair.  Cake and dessert winners from Tuesday will be featured in Thursday's recap.
