With the county fair fast approaching, Dairy Beef Feeder committee member Delmar Karlen of Salem took time to apply a fresh coat of red paint to 30 of the 120 benches the fair board purchased from the former Ponderosa Park. These red benches will be used in the horses and livestock section of the fairgrounds while the rest will be scattered throughout the grounds. (Salem News photo by Patti Schaeffer)
