This is the 15th book in the series. I would highly recommend starting from the beginning.

Caerphilly and Clay county have come together to put on a large agricultural fair. Meg with her notebook always handy is helping to coordinate the fair. The fair has not even opened to the public and pranks have been pulled on the exhibitors. The chicken exhibitors have not handled it well. On top of that there is an annoying winemaker that is bringing down the moral in the wine pavilion. This fair is supposed to help Caerphilly with all their money problems but it will not be successful if Meg cannot figure out who is pulling all these pranks.

The story did not contain all the colorful characters of her past stories. She seemed to focus on telling the reader more about the agricultural side of Virginia. It was educational, I learned about different breeds of farm animals. No family funnies in this one.
