Carson City Fair opens at Fuji Park

Proud parents, family members and friends crowded around the tent Friday to check on their students and livestock at the Youth Livestock Auction at Fuji Park during the Carson City Fair.

Children and teens from Northern Nevada lined up firmly with goats with beautiful coats and one newborn lamb not yet two days old was making a public appearance.
