2016 Ogle County Fair

2016 Ogle County Fair Queen Maddie Kirchner hands out the Beef 4-H Herdsman Award to Anna Ring, of Oregon, at the Blue Ribbon Livestock Auction. The Dr. John Clayton 4-H Herdsman Award is given to an outstanding 4-H member who goes above and beyond in the beef barn to help other 4-H members and committee members during the fair.

On July 23, 4-H’ers enrolled in Sewing and Textiles were conference judged on their sewing or shopping in style projects. This year we had everything from pillows, to bags, to dresses, to tops! Participants also participated in modeling judging and a Fashion show for the public. Abby and Grace Mongan, Oregon also led the group in creating hand-made tie-end blankets for Serenity Hospice and Home in Oregon. See pages 3 and 9 for additional Fair photos.

Allissa Martin, Oregon, showed her steer at the beef show at the 2016 Ogle County 4-H Fair. At 8 years old, this was Allissa’s first time showing, following in her siblings footsteps!
