EXPECTANT MOMENT: Matthew Hodges, 14, of Weaverville, center, reacts in
disbelief Wednesday when his cousin Jared Hodges, 12, also of
Weaverville, right, says he was told that his pig is pregnant. The joke
was on Jared; his pig isn't expecting. The animals were weighed and
underwent ultrasounds for the carcass contest at the Trinity County Fair
in Hayfork. View gallery >

Pretty-up your power tools - the four-day Trinity County Fair in Hayfork
begins tonight and features some new events, including belt-sander drag
racing and kid-pedaled tractor pulls.

On Wednesday, youths prepared their livestock for exhibit and Saturday's
livestock auction. Here are more details about the fair:

* Gate admission: Adults 13 and older, $5; seniors 60 and up, $4; youth
ages 6 to 12, $3. Free admission Friday for kids, Saturday for American
Indians, Sunday for seniors.

* Hours: 6 p.m. to midnight today; 8 a.m. to midnight Friday, Saturday,
Sunday.

* Where: Fairgrounds, 6000 State Highway 3, Hayfork.

* New this year: Decorated belt sanders will scream down a 30-foot track
built by fair exhibits supervisor Mike Fillette. "That's the racing
length. And then we have another 20 feet to slow down," he said.
Admission is $5. Races start at 1 p.m. Sunday; entries will be accepted
up to a half-hour beforehand and decorating is encouraged - Fillette's
non-competition "Hayfork Rotary Rocket" entry boasts a missilelike nose
and fins.

Free junior tractor pulls, held Friday, Saturday and Sunday, involve
kids pedaling John Deere models.

* For more information: Call the fair office at 628-5223.
