CONGRATULATIONS FOR OUR LOCAL 4-H`rs
We had a wonderful year this year in 4-H. Due to a strong bird flu spreading across the country, Ohio stopped any live poultry into the fairgrounds or any local poultry shows for fear of spreading the virus but that didn’t stop the fair from going on.
Poultry projects were still in place and awarded prizes too. I would like to recognize our local wonderful hard working kids and some of their projects.
Oliver Mayer took 2nd place with his Fancy Poultry Project. He also received a Blue Ribbon for showmanship in turkey and was awarded the 2015 Summit County Fair Prince. Zachary Nolan took 1st place in Junior Showmanship for Fancy Poultry. Alexis Wojciechowski did a Holland Lop Rabbit project and placed 5th in Showmanship for Fancy Poultry. Maddie Sterling completed with a quilt project & received a Blue and she was 1st Runner Up for Fair Princess. Rosie Sterling did a cake decorating project and also received a blue ribbon. Betty Sterling completed with Kitchen Science and also received a blue ribbon. Betty also was second runner up for Junior Princess. Anna Cook received a blue ribbon in Bee Keeping. Brave Anna ?
We have a very large Cloverbud Group. They are under the age of nine and are not ready to compete in fair, but did compete in Columbus with a Youth Robotics Program. We had two teams and both received a trophy this past year. Some of our local Clover buds are Adeline Mayer and Josephine Mayer and Maggie Parker. Adeline received a Blue Ribbon at the bake auction for her s’mores cupcake’s (yum) and 3rd place in Open Class for youth needlework. Josephine received a Blue Ribbon in Open class for bakery (lemon cookies) and 2nd Place also in Open Class for handicraft (Christmas card) A big Congratulations to all of them. It takes a lot of work and dedication to compete and work at the fairgrounds. I am very proud of them all.
