Disassembly becomes an activity too!!
In order to continue build we had to take each flag apart shortly after completion.
Dave Removes sections of the flag.
The Ag Central tent became the official flag disassembly facility.
Flag disassembly becomes an activity as fair patrons race to see who can disassemble their section the fastest.
Fair ribbons and water bottles were given away as prizes for all who helped with the disassembly.
