n Saturday morning several area youngsters
made their way to the Logan County
Fairgrounds with pets in hand, or on the leash, for
the annual 4-H Pet Show. Again this year, the event
included 4-H members from the three counties
making up the Extension Unit 16 – Logan, Menard
and Sangamon.
The dog show was spilt up a bit differently from past
years, with three people serving as judges. Amy
DeReimacker of Pleasant Plains served as the judge
for the Dog Showmanship classes, while Heather
Logan of Illiopolis, at the same time was judging
Dog Care in another location. Dog Obedience was
judged by Erin Sanders.
The Logan County Dog Superintendent was Cathy
Starr, who was accompanied by Toni Franks of
Sangamon County. Starr checked the animals in
as they arrived making sure that all the required
paperwork was in place so the dogs qualified to
show. Franks announced the events and presented
the awards at the end of the day.

Logan works at Best Friends Animal Hospital in
Lincoln, and spends most of her time caring for the
cat patients. Logan spent a great deal of time talking
with each entrant, giving them kudo’s on the way
they care for their animals and offering tips to help
the youngsters provide the best possible home for
their pets.
