MURRAY COUNTY HAPPENINGS....
Murray County Fair
The  MURRAY COUNTY FAIR is in full swing!  It's fun to just wander around the fairgrounds, but don't forget that there are great events to attend as well. Be sure to check out the Slayton Area Chamber of Commerce's Prairie Days Parade and Nobles Cooperative Electric's Rib Cook-Off on Saturday. Click HERE for the full schedule of events.

"Shetek Revisited"
    On August 19 and 20, 2016,  Lake Shetek State Park will again be hosting several programs  highlighting the history and culture of the people living at Lake Shetek in 1862.  Lake Shetek State Park has hosted this August program for years as it continues to be very popular with attendees.
