Owen Thomas, 11, and Josh Cunningham watch some of the swine competition before Thomas will be taking one of his hogs into the show ring at the Cass County Fair on Thursday afternoon. Cunningham sponsors several kids including Owen by helping them to raise animals on his property so they can compete in 4H. Fran Ruchalski | Pharos-Tribune
