2018 fair-print

2018 Logan County Fair Lincoln Daily News July 29 - August 5, 2018 Page 39 for a large banner for the show as well as ribbons for the kids. Elaine Awe of Culver’s Restaurant in Lincoln donated free ice cream treats to every child that participated. Also, this will be a judged show. The winners will have their artwork displayed after the fair at Culver’s. Winners will also receive a gift from Rustic Love Rentals, a business owned and operated by Klockenga-Burgabe. Klockenga-Burgabe is delighted with how this first year project went, and is looking forward to future years. She explained that while this year entries were limited to the first three grade levels, in 2019 third-graders will be added. In 2020 fourth-graders will be added and in 2021 fifth-graders will be permitted to enter. She said that this will end with fifth grade though because according to fair rules for fine arts, entries submitted by young people fifth grade and up have to be placed on a proper matting. Klockenga-Burgabe said the nice thing about that, is that the kids participating this year will have the opportunity to continue participation for the next two to four years. For Fair Board Secretary Mike Maske, this new display is a really good thing. He explained last week that he was really excited to see this new project, and was also excited that the fair board needed to build new display areas in the fine arts barn to accommodate all the entries. For the kids, this is also a good thing. Having their works on display for the public to admire helps them appreciate the value of art and motivates them to continue exercising their artistic side. There is also a hope and expectation that the display will increase traffic into the fine arts barn. Parent, grandparents, other relatives and friends, may all wish to see their child’s work on display, bringing them into the barn, where they will have a chance to see other really good works of art. The display is called Making Memories County Youth Art Program. There are basically two medium involved in the artwork. Klockenga-Burgabe said children were encouraged to choose either pencil or crayon for their masterpieces. However, some chose to use both medium and some added extra touches like coloring or detailing with marker. For Klockenga-Burgabe it’s all good. She said the judges may need to choose which category they want to judge a piece in, but regardless, every kid is going to be a big winner. On Thursday evening Karen and Danielle were still hard at work getting all the artwork CONTINUE 00
