LINCOLN DAILY NEWS July 29 - August 6, 2016 Page 19
The 2016 Goat show closed out, Steve Johnson offers
his appreciation to David Opperman (right) for another
good show.
Sam Opperman used to show a lot of projects and still
helps with Jr. Livestock, walking the animals, getting
the animals where they are supposed to be, and helps
pass out ribbons.
Stephanie Opperman is a support person for the family
helping them where needed during fair week.
It has been the whole family working together to make
sure departments are running right. All have put in a
lot of hard work and dedication.
The Schempp kids from Atlanta
Darin and Cindy Schempp’s kids Molly and Cavit are
very active in 4-H and in their community, Atlanta.
4-H has been a family tradition, since Cindy (Johnson)
Schempp grew up in 4-H showing mostly Beef
animals.
The Schempp kids
and their cousin
(sitting) who also
works on the farm
and shows, were
dressed in red
shirts for the goat
competition.
Cindy said,
“Molly started
[participating in
the fair] seven
years ago showing
in goats, cooking,
visual arts, sewing,
crops, vet science
are a few of the
25 projects that
she started with.
This year, she has
narrowed it to 15.”
Cindy said, “Cavit has shown for five years with
mostly the same amount of projects, and also includes
welding and shooting sports.”
Both have received blue ribbon awards in the Logan
County 4-H Food, Nutrition & Health Show. In past
years, Molly was the state fair delegate for the Health
category, and Cavit was a state fair alternate in the
foods category. They have also received top ratings
for their visual arts projects.
Molly and Cavit have both participated in all the
scrambles as well.
Cindy said, “We work all year on projects as 4-H is a
subject in our lineup of subjects for home school, and
work on the projects three to five days per week by
learning, researching, and practicing the techniques.”
Cindy said, “We LOVE fair week and Scrambles night
is so exciting! While catching goats and steers are our
favorite memories of fair events, it is the friendships
that we cherish and carry with us from year to year.”
