Enjoying a ride on the Drop Zone during the Linn County Fair held last week are, from left, Keegan Holly of Sweet Home; Jackson Mendonca visiting Sweet Home from Turlock, Calif.; and Huston Holly of Sweet Home. Riders ascend the attraction slowly, reaching 92 feet. Unable to see anything above as they ascend, they are unexpectedly dropped in free fall before magnetic brakes slow their fall. Results from 4-H shows will appear next week in The New Era.
