Grand champion Angus winner was Troy Rawlings.
When a buddy walked up and congratulated Troy for his win, Troy
said, "I was mighty lucky today." That kind of attitude would make
any parent want to pop a button! Nice job. |
Junior showmanship winner in the sheep
division was Rachel
Allen of New Holland. Good job, Rachel. |

Do you know what the blanket on the lambs is
for? To keep them clean! |
Jerod Whitcomb of Greenview is shown carding
and clipping his lamb in preparation for showing in the ewe lamb
class of Montadale sheep. Good luck, Jerod. |

This is a short section of a huge wall of
canned goods displayed at the fair. First-place winner for peaches was
Elizabeth Carter. First-place winner for pears, black raspberries and
string green beans was Phyllis Martin. Holy cow, she has been busy! |
First-place winner for her coffeecake was Susan Knuffman of Decatur. Her daughter wanted the blue ribbon. I wanted
the coffeecake. |

First-place winner for Lego art was Brady Walsh
with this beautiful fort. You can't do that in two minutes. |
Best of
show for both the black-and-white AND color print divisions in
photography was Gerry Rudolph of Lincoln. Way to
go. |

Here's a group from Atlanta -- (left to right)

First-place watercolor winner was Glo Hoyt of Lincoln. It's

Emily Jackson drew this pencil entry. I really liked the detail.
Good job. |
First-place pencil entry winner went to Audra Ballinger.
WOW. Makes you want to step aside so you don't get hit. Nice job,
Audra! |

In case you can't read what this board says across the top, it
reads, "Genuwine Redneck Windchime." Ivan Rademaker from Emden won
second place in art from recycled materials. Ivan, did you
make that sign for yourself or did you have someone else in mind? |
You can't walk past the Park Meadows "Soul Winning Booth" without
receiving a free smile. Shon Gascoigne of Lincoln and Luke
Elston of Broadwell stood ready to answer questions and hand out
tapes and literature on Wednesday. Good job, guys. |
