Counting on fingers really does help youngsters improve their maths skills, according to a new study.
The annual Kiwanis Henry County Fair began Wednesday and continues through Sunday at Heritage Park in McDonough. The Kiwanis Club uses money raised from the fair to help more than 20 non-profits in Henry County that support children.
