Cody Zeeck of Havana performed as judge this day.

It had been a couple of years since Zeeck judged the

Logan County Sheep Show.

Through out the morning, Zeeck said time and again

what a pleasure it was to be in Logan County because

of how impressed he is with the work of the youth

here, their commitment to quality performance and

sheep.

The John and Annie Coers family, and their extended

family, once again served as superintendent and

assistants. Each year when the hard work of the

opening levels of showing are over, the family likes to

make it a little more fun by way of jazzing it up. This

year they jacked up the energy with music and a few

surprises.

As zippy popular music and a few traditional

champion tunes blasted, youth flashed through the ring

carrying boldly colored signs introducing each breed

- Southdown - Hampshire - Corriedale - Montadale

- Tunis - urging the audience cheers and whistles for

the returning champions and their final big judging

and awards. During the musical interludes, toes set

to tapping and Queen Meeker, Junior Miss Mott and

Little Miss Park spontaneously broke into dance for a

moment.

As the various groups of sheep and handlers returned

to the ring for championship titles, including Junior

and Senior Showmanship, the crowd cheered them on.

Following the last of the awards, the special surprise

event of the day took place: the Alumni Sheep

Logan County Fair Sheep Show

an impressive performance

of skill and quality sheep

n Thursday morning the barn furthest northwest of the Logan County Fairgrounds

was a flurry of activity. From 8 a.m. to noon, the 4-H and Junior Sheep Shows

were conducted in the center ring.
