2019 Logan County Fair

2019 Logan County Fair LINCOLN DAILY NEWS July 28-August 4, 2019 Page 111 as each one showed multiple times. This time however, there was no winner-take all. The Grand Champion Barrow went to Claire Bobell. This is Claire’s second year in a row to win the Grand Champion designation. As with the gilts, the Don Crane traveling trophy was presented by Linda Crane. For the Grand Champion photo, Claire was also joined by the Logan County Fair royalty. In addition to the Crane trophy, the Grand Champion plaque was sponsored by members of the Brett Conrady family. Those family members also joined in the photo. The Reserve Grand Champion was not available for a photo. However, Braden Olsen returned to the winners circle to pose for a picture with his fifth place barrow, as did Kaden Entwistle, who took third place. During the show, there was a bit of a bustle as the announcer came over the loud speaker close to the end of the show and said that there had been a water main break as Casey’s General Store across the street from the fairgrounds. She said that because of this, all the water had been shut off at the fairgrounds. She also announced that water for livestock was on its way and that handlers would be able to fill five-gallon buckets from the water tank for their animals. Atlanta Ag has a tank truck that they keep at the fairground much of the time fair week. It is used to wet down the track and other tasks. In no time at all, the truck was backing past the show barn and exhibitors were heading out to get those buckets of water. Again thankfully, it was not a searing hot day, so everyone appeared to be coping with the situation with hopes that the water company would work quickly. Kaden Entwistle Braden Olsen
