The Aylesworth kids - Mount Pulaski

The Randy and Kelly Aylesworth family of Mount

Pulaski has been competing in the fair for many years.

Kamryn and Dixon Aylesworth are both part of the

FFA and 4-H in Mount Pulaski.

competition on Thursday.

Kamryn, who graduated from Mount Pulaski High

School this year, has won top prizes for horse and

dog showmanship, foods and sewing, and visual

arts. Kamryn has spent a lot of time working with

horses, competing in horse shows during the year, and

winning many ribbons.

Dixon has won visual arts awards for wood and

sculpture.

Their cousins Dustin, Chase, Lukas, and Clay

Aylesworth have also shown livestock over the years,

so the cousins have competed against one another at

times.

The Carter family

The Ed and Carlene Carter family has been involved

in 4-H for 16 years and participated in various open

judging categories for 15 years. All five children,

Elizabeth, Tim, David, James and Miriam have

entered projects in several categories over the years.

The children have participated in 4-H in arts,

woodworking, vegetables, flowers, sewing. At

least one of two also participate in the open textiles.

Carlene said, “We started in 4-H because I was in 4-H

as a teenager and enjoyed it, and as homeschoolers, it

gave the kids an opportunity to learn new skills and

exhibit their work.

Carlene said, “In 4-H at the fair the kids have

competed in visual arts, floriculture, poultry, cats,

dogs, goats, woodworking, vegetables, photography,

and many other miscellaneous Department W

projects. They’ve also competed in cooking, flowers,

vegetables, sewing, a lot of art and photography, and

junior livestock in the open judging.”

Between the five of them they have tried a large cross-

section of projects and all eventually settled into what

they enjoyed most. All the kids really enjoy the art

category.

The kids have learned a lot of skills showing off

their fair projects, especially in getting something

completed, and getting it prepared to its best

advantage. Even

when they were

little, they got a

kick out of being

able to see their art

works displayed

in the art building,

and it was even

better if there was

a ribbon hanging

on it.

Ed mostly has

done photography,

and once baked a

winning cake.
