On Tuesday, July 29th, the Logan
County Fair hosted a Junior Poultry Show. The show was held in the
Livestock Showbarn starting around 8:30 a.m. This show followed
directly after the 4-H Rabbit Show that was held in the same barn.
This year, there were five competitors. There were many categories
that chickens were judged for, and not every competitor submitted an
animal for each one.
Judging the chickens was Josh
Flees. Flees proved knowledgeable of chickens, as each time he
looked at a bird, he would make comments on the things that were
good about the animal, as well as the things that could be better.
He would pull every animal out of their cage, looking them over
while talking about them. Occasionally, he would show something to
the child that submitted the animal.
After Flees judged for each
category, Jill Peters would make note of who received which place in
each category. Megan Opperman would then hand out ribbons to each
child that received one. No child left empty handed, as all of their
birds won one prize or another.
The five competitors were Konnor
Peters, Adelynn Peters, Luke Wibben, Falyn Farmer, and Natalie
Palmquist, with Palmquist being the big winner of the day. Palmquist
took home first in six of the day's judging categories.
