Several young people from as far away as Switzerland, Wales, Australia, and England paid a visit to the DeKalb County Fair Friday evening.
Members of TrekAmerica, a group of young international sightseers who want to experience North America, are currently on a three week tour of the country, having left recently from Los Angeles enroute to New York City.
TrekAmerica offers small group adventure tours to those from other countries who want to
discover this continent. Participants get to explore America on trips that take them to big cities, National Parks, beaches, small towns and many places away from the tourist routes.
