MONEY SCRAMBLE AT THE FAIR: Sarah Peters, center on the ground, reaches for a quarter while her mother, Meredith Peters of Nahunta, right, holds a bag for her to place the coins in during the first night of the Wayne Regional Agricultural Fair Thursday. Brittney Butts, left, of  Rosewood, uses a small plastic container to hold her coins. Children were divided into three age categories for the Wayne County 4-H's coin toss in which $500 in quarters were scattered on the ground. Mixed in were special 4-H coins entitling the finder to a prize. It was the first year the event has been held.
