Competitors line up for a portion of the Junior Dairy Goat Show at the Du Quoin State Fair over the weekend. The show returned to the fair last year after not being held for several years. "It was a lot bigger than we expected," said Channa Cockburn of Johnston City, whose son Cade is a competitor. The Cockburns have promoted the Du Quoin event during their travels to other shows across the Midwest. They hope to work with fair officials to continue promoting the show for next year.
