A big announcement was made during
the 4-H Scrambles Night. Pam Tibbs will be inducted into the 4-H
Hall of Fame at the Illinois State Fair on August 13th. |

Winners in the calf scrambles
can take their calf home and bring them back the next year to enter
the Steer Competition. Competitors are judged on grooming,
confirmation and showmanship. The overall winner of this year’s
Steer Competition was Vivienne Pratt. |

It takes and dedication and tenacity
to rope a calf and the participants in the calf scramble showed
both. Adamm Hoerbert from the Hartem Clover’s 4-H Club got the first
catch, but a couple of those calves were pretty determined not to be
caught. It was a tough night for the last competitors.

After repeatedly being drug by a calf as he attempted to rope it, an
exhausted looking James ‘JR’ Lynn, also a member of the Cloverdale
4-H Club, finally roped the last calf of the night, garnering loud
cheers and applause from the crowd. |

Here, Cullen Tyson, one of the toughest kids you'll ever see, shows
his calf catch from last year in the Steer Competition, and caught a
new one during scrambles. |
