Lauren Bruns, 17, goes face to face during play time with her goat "Creamer" at her family's farm in Chickasaw. Bruns, a Marion Local High School senior, is one of a record number of junior fair members showing goats at this year's Mercer County Fair. The 158th annual fair kicks off Friday at the fairgrounds in Celina.
