The 4-H night and
Scrambles at the Logan County Fair is always a great
time and draws families together. Above, some of a
dozen eight and nine-year-old youth planning to capture
and halter a goat get a last words of encouragement.
Older 4-H exhibitors wage wits and whiles to capture a
goat, greased pig or calf. The youth receive training
prior to these events.
And boy do the feathers fly when the six or seven year
olds take to the field to catch a chicken.
Awards and 4-H Alumni activities also take place during
the evening.
Look for pictures and story in LDN’s Friday edition.

Tuesday,
4-H livestock shows kicked off with the smallest of
animals, the rabbits and poultry. In the rabbit show, it
was an all-girl event with four young women competing
for top honors. Rose Catterson took home the plaque for
the Grand Champion Rabbit. Pictured with Catterson are
the 2020 fair royalty on their last day of duty.

On
Tuesday, a long-standing family tradition continued at
the Logan County Fair 4-H Poultry show. The children of
Maxine Maxheimer presented several plaques in memory of
their mother.
The annual awards started many years ago with a single
plaque for the Grand Champion Chicken. This year winning
that original award was Natalie Palmquist and her spunky
tiny black chicken.
The "Maxine Maxheimer Memorial by her children" award
was presented by Maxine's daughters Linda Ryan and
Shirley Brittin. Maxheimer’s other children, Teresa
Strampp and Dale Maxheimer, presented other awards in
honor of their mother.
