Visitors enjoyed a petting zoo, a carnival, a lumberjack show and more at the Washington County Fair Thursday in Fayetteville.

The fair is building on tradition this year, keeping to the schedule adopted last year and bringing back the same carnival.

"We've tried to make it family friendly and it is," said Darrell Tunstill, a member of the Fair Board and a longtime participant in the fair.

The fair runs through Saturday at the Washington County Fairgrounds, 2537 N. McConnell Ave.
