Governor Bob Taft extols the virtues of the Grand Champion hog to buyers during The Sale of Champions at the State Fair on Sunday, August 15, 2004, the last day of the fair. As part of the fair tradition, the Governor attends the sale as a sort of cheerleader to help get the best possible prices for the animals and encourage potential buyers. The money goes toward fair programs for children and young adults. (Photo by Chris Kasson / Office of the Governor)
