Page 4 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 While the Logan County Fair did not officially open until Tuesday, July 30th, on Monday Logan County 4-H members were already at the fairground presenting their general projects for the year. As a club member, throughout the year kids attend club meetings where they interact with each other, learning and forming lasting friendships. In addition, each 4-H member takes on special learning projects throughout the year. Some take several, some just a few, but regardless, they all have the opportunity to take that project learning experience and create an exhibit to show at the Logan County Fair. Some projects are related to growing plants, from the field variety such as corn and soybeans to the garden variety such as vegetables and flowers. This is when young people like Maddox Dare reap the reward of what they have sewn literally, as it was Maddax stalks of field corn that one him the Best Crops Exhibit and a plaque presented by Atterberry Farms. 4-H exhibits on Monday bring in dozens of exhibitors with various entries Maddox was one of several young people who had entries in the Crop Sciences. The judge, Larry Schahl spent time with each one, asking questions about the plants they were exhibiting, including the daunting task of naming each part of the plant starting with the roots and working their way up. Other young people, such as Tanner Jones learned the art of woodworking, and again he saw his hard work pay off as he was awarded the Top Woodworking Project award for his remarkable ice chest.

In the vegetable category, Tucker Garey won the Top Market Basket and Maddox Dare won the Top Vegetable Award. All the entries in the vegetable judging were scrutinized by University of Illinois Extension Horticulture 1921 800th St., Chestnut, IL 62518 | goldenharvestseeds.com Educator Jennifer Fishburn. She spoke with each of the kids about their garden projects, asking questions about how they grew their plants, and what they learned while growing their 4-H exhibit entry. In addition to several top awards there were dozens of blue ribbons handed out in a wide variety of categories. Nila Smith

Page 14 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 Monday, July 29 was the judging of 4-H Nonoriginal Visual Arts, Visual Arts and general projects. As usual, there were hundreds of outstanding entries. For visual arts, participants may use various media like paper, clay, leather, fiber, wood, chalk, carbon/pigment, glass/plastic, metal, and nature to produce their art. Art can even be 3D or computer generated. Non-original arts are created from either kits, pre-printed designs, or pre-molded pieces. Original arts are designs created completely by the exhibitor. Other projects included animal science, career/ leadership, general entomology, floriculture, horticulture and photography. Judges score the visual arts entries on correct use of design elements, principles, expressive elements and technique in addition to craftsmanship, creativity and inventiveness. Both during and after judging, judges make comments telling participants where they did well while also discussing how and where they could improve. Little details can be significant. Some 4-H members did several projects using various media and entered both visual and Continued -- Monday judging of 4-H Visual Arts and General Projects non-visual projects, while others focused on one or two projects. Though many have been working on their projects for a few months, others started projects the last few weeks. Participants included those who are just starting out in 4-H and those who have been in 4-H for several years. For some, 4-H has been a family tradition for many generations. One example of someone whose family has long been involved in 4-H is Luke Wibben. Though it is his first year in 4-H, his great grandmother Grace Wibben said Luke is the fifth generation in his family to be involved in 4-H. Luke did seven projects including visual arts, stained, nature and wildlife and said he has worked on the projects all summer.
Page 15 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 Nine-year-old Gage Jones is also in his first year of 4-H after participating in Cloverbuds. He did four projects including woodworking, electricity, cooking and vegetables. Later in the week, he will be showing animals. Another first year 4-Her is nineyear-old Whitney Beisiegel, who focused on an animal science display. Whitney said she has been working on her project all year. Though in her early years of 4-H, Ella Hasty is the third generation in her family to participate in it. Ella created a poster on horses and skills to learn. She has been working on the project all year, though she said the poster was just done in the past few days. In her second year of 4-H, Carly Zelhart did visual arts projects made of clay and of paper, a photography project and cooking. Junior Miss Ellie Wrage, who is in her sixth year of 4-H, managed to find time to do six projects even with all her obligations as Junior Miss. After eight years in 4-H, Alex Steffens, who recently graduated from high school, has done numerous projects over the years. Alex said he has done a little bit of everything when it comes to projects, but this year his focus is on a leadership project besides participating in floriculture. Though Alex has one more year left in which he is eligible to participate in 4-H, his many years of entering projects is nearing the end. Among some veteran judges, there were also a few new judges. Continued --
Page 16 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 One first year judge was Ronda Shelton, who is a professional photographer. As she judges photography projects, Shelton said she focuses on their knowledge and loves hearing the kids’ passion for photography. Rhonda Ethell is another first year judge of the visual arts. To her, creativity is very important. Though judges have a list to follow for scoring, Ethell said she asks participants several questions about their projects. The event used to include all county 4-H participants arriving at the same time and waiting to be judged, which made the judging area loud and crowded, though quite organized. Changes in the past few years eliminated those challenges with area 4-H clubs now arriving by club at varying times throughout the morning. As expected, the visual, non-visual arts and general projects section highlighted the talents and creativity of many children from around Logan County. Winning entries will be on display in the Expo building throughout the week of the fair. Angela Reiners with photos by Reiners and Lesleigh Bennett

Members of local 4-H clubs brought cut flowers, arrangements, and houseplants for judging at the 2024 Logan County Fair. Judge Betty Moser, 4-H floriculture judge of 50 years, was assisted by her daughter Judy, and Superintendents of 29 years Jason and Beth Steffens were on-hand to keep the event running smoothly. 4-H participants brought their flowers before the judges and engaged in conversation about the plants, how they grew them, and what they had learned. Judges inquired “Where are they planted? Did you start them from seed? Do you have any thoughts about what you would do differently? What have you learned? Did you have any challenges?” Other 4-H participants fielded questions such as “Is this your first year exhibiting? Did you have a lot of flowers to choose from? Do you see a lot of pollinators around these?” After discussing their exhibits with the judges, the judges filled out forms to help entrants assess and improve their entries and assigned a grade. Judges awarded plaques for Best of Show in the various categories and chose 4-H delegates for the Illinois State Fair. Continued --
Page 23 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 Best of Show for Fresh Cut Flowers went to Ellie Wrage for her limelight hydrangea.

Page 26 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 On Monday afternoon 4-H judging continued with the "Food, Nutrition & Health" judging. This year, for the first time, the judging was done at the Logan County Fairground in the exhibit barns across the midway from the grandstand. Food and Nutrition judging moves to Monday afternoon at the Logan County Fairground Over a dozen participants brought their wares with notebooks and explanations of how they put together their projects. Everything from sugar and peanut butter cookies to scones and cakes were included in the entries. Other health-related projects ranged from understanding of the food groups to sports. Every participant gets a blue, red or white ribbon. The blue ribbon means they met all the criteria for their category, red means they need a little more work to complete their task and white means the project didn't meet any of the criteria. Every entry got a blue ribbon! When you put in the work you are proud to show it off. There were plenty of smiles from 4-Hers to judges. Food is a well-loved topic in Logan County. With so many generations of good cooks it would be safe to assume that these youngsters benefit not only from what they learn in 4-H but also from what they have witnessed by example from parents, grand parents and other family members. One can easily see that for some of the youth at least the love of food and the practices of good health and nutrition have been passed down through the generations. The show superintendent was Deana Brooks and the judges were Debra Bruns and Connie Crawley. Karen Castelein

Page 30 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 Cloverbud judging gives youngsters a glimpse of their future in Logan County 4-H The Logan County Fair held its annual 4-H Cloverbuds Exhibit, hosted by the University of Illinois Extension. Carissa Davis and Reagan Tibbs, both from U of I Extension, greeted people as they arrived and checked them in at their check-in table. As each child and parent group checked in, they moved to the right and sat down on the white bleachers off to the side. The young exhibitors, all between the ages of 5 and 7, excitedly waited their turn to present their projects to one of the judges. There were five judges this year, with some new and some returning. Judges Charlotte Judd, Alex Steffins, Sophia Schneider, and Ellie Wrage all had at least one prior year of judging experience. Judge Saria Jackson was new to Cloverbud judging this year. All the judges have been in 4-H for at least 6 years, with a collective experience of over 30 years. Continued --
Page 31 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 The event kicked off at 4:00 PM, with Davis calling on a 4-H group called the Early Risers to present their group project. The project, all about the demographics of their group and why they love Cloverbuds, was filled with pie charts, data, and fun drawings. The group presented their project to judge Wrage, ending the presentation with each child sharing their favorite thing about Cloverbuds. While there were some answers such as “seeing friends” and “showing our projects,” the most common answer was “everything.” After the Early Risers gave their group presentation, Davis began to call kids one at a time, directing them to one of the judges. The kids would grab their projects and make their way over to their designated judging table, many with eager parents following right behind. The judges all met the kids with a smile and introduced themselves before asking the kids about their projects. While some kids were a bit more nervous than others, all of them did a great job answering the judges’ questions and sharing interesting details about their projects. The judges also did an excellent job making connections with the kids, as to help them be less nervous and more confident. The projects also varied widely in the topics they covered. One young man put together a slide made of cut in half water bottles and a wooden container to store ping pong balls in. He would then take the ping pong balls out of the container and send them down the slide. Another young lady made a presentation on everything that goes into making banana bread. Another young man took a picture of his two ducklings and talked about them. Still another young lady used square stickers to put together a unicorn picture with a pixel art effect. A couple of young ladies created bracelets and showed them off to the judges. Another young woman showed off pictures of flowers she has been gardening. Another young man showed off snap circuits and the many things he could power with them. As the kids finished talking with the judges, they were awarded a ribbon, and their projects were collected to be displayed. Sherri Bishop, also of U of I Extension, went around collecting the projects and finding a place for them to be displayed alongside their ribbon and a tag with each kid’s name. All-in-all, about 30 kids came and presented their projects. Even though the humidity was rough, the kids all had great attitudes and Continued --
Page 32 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 seemed excited to have taken part. Davis attested to this, saying that her favorite part of running Cloverbuds is seeing how excited the kids get and their desire to talk about their projects with others. When asked about what the most important things the kids get out of the Cloverbud Exhibit, Davis gave many examples. First, she shared, the kids learn how to not only start, but also finish a project. They also learn how to talk to older teens, and work on their communication skills in general. They also learn how to receive and take feedback. Also, in the case of group projects, such as the Early Risers, they learn how to work with others. All the evening's Cloverbud projects will be on display this week during the fair. They can be found in the Brown Door Building near other 4-H projects. If you happen to be walking by this week, be sure to stop in and see all of the fun creative and fun projects this year’s Cloverbuds put together. Matt Boutcher

Because rainy weather earlier in the week made the grandstand track too wet, the pageant was moved to the show barn. Rustic barn wood provided the backdrop for the stage. Master of Ceremonies Cameron Kurtz welcomed everyone to the 85th anniversary of the pageant. Throughout the evening, he expressed thanks to numerous businesses, sponsors, fair board and other volunteers who made the event possible. LDN’s own Lesleigh Bennett sang the National Anthem to help kick off the evening’s events. 2023 Logan County Fair Queen Ellyn Martinez was escorted to the stage by her father John. After welcoming everyone, Queen Ellyn said she was excited to see the 30 lovely contestants vying for their respective titles.

To display communication skills, which is 40 percent of the score, queen contestants spoke on a topic of their choice. Topics included learning life is too short to let fear get in the way, recognizing the power of feeling deep emotions and not letting fear control you. Others talked about developing leadership skills while coaching Little League players, hard lessons learned after lying and realizing wearing heels helps with confidence even when they are uncomfortable. For the pop question, contestants were asked to someone visiting Logan County where they would take them to help showcase the county. Answers included Missy’s Sweet Shoppe in Atlanta, the Logan County Fair, Flossie and Delzena’s, the Logan County Courthouse, the covered wagon, the pond by Lincoln Memorial Hospital and Route 66. Two contestants said they would take a visitor to downtown Lincoln because of its locally owned business, great restaurants and cute boutiques. The rest of the scoring was based on an interview earlier in the day plus an evening gown competition to display their stage presence. The local Junior Miss competition began in 2017 for girls between the ages of nine and 12. In 2018, the age range was changed to girls between 11 and 13. 2023 Logan County Junior Miss Ellie Wrage was escorted to the stage by her father Jason.

Little Miss contestants were judged on an earlier interview that made up 75 percent of their score. The remaining 25 percent of the score came from their stage presence. As always, the Little Miss contestants provided some sweet moments as they introduced themselves, telling their ages, where they live and what they want to be when they grow up. A few want to be veterinarians or teachers, while one wants to be an accountant and others a face painter or horse owner. Time between sections was filled by special guests. These included queens, junior misses, little misses and others with titles from various Illinois counties such as Fulton, Dewitt, Menard, Macoupin and Sangamon. They all stood up to be recognized Other guests included several former Logan County Fair Queens, Junior Misses and Little Misses. This year they stood up to be recognized instead of coming up on stage to introduce themselves. Though several were from recent years, there was also a Logan County Fair Queen from 70 years ago. Before results were announced, the outgoing 2023 royalty gave farewell speeches. Little Miss Kodi said she really enjoyed events like the the sheep costume show, chili cookoff and pink pumpkin auction. She then thanked her parents, grandma, Queen Ellyn and Junior Miss Ellie before wishing the new Little Miss well. Junior Miss Ellie said she loved the fair, the 4-H show barns and exhibits but also learned being a little miss meant being present at many events and getting to know many people. She thanked the pageant directors and crew, Queen Ellyn, Little Miss Kodi, her parents and her Continued --

Page 66 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 Tuesday morning 4-H Poultry show offers plenty of competition among beautiful birds On Tuesday morning, starting just after 8:00 am, the 4-H Poultry Show was held inside the livestock show barn at the Logan County Fairgrounds. Many 4-H kids showed up, each with at least one chicken to show. Some of the competitors were new to the scene, while others were returning challengers. The weather may not have been great, but the professionalism displayed by all of the competitors was. The chickens varied in breed, size, and color. Some were on the larger side, while others were not much larger than your hand. Some of the birds were white with black around their necks while some were black with an oil slick-like rainbow color to their feathers. One chicken was a beautiful light brown color that helped it to stand out from the other birds on display. Judge Josh Flees had each competitor bring their chickens up one at a time, putting them into cages on tables so he could inspect them. Many of the competitors brought chickens of the same breed, meaning Judge Flees had to pick one chicken over the other. Flees talked to each competitor about their chicken, asking them questions, making observations, and also teaching them things they may not have known. Even though not everyone was a winner, Flees did a really good job reminding each of the kids that their chickens were all beautiful animals. The kids also each did an excellent job of keeping their spirits up even if their chicken was not the one picked. At the end of the show, however, one competitor swept the competition. Similar to last year’s 4-H Poultry Show, Natalie Palmquist took home almost every award, with the exception of the Junior Showmanship Award. The awards Palmquist received included Champion Cockrell, Champion Chicken, Champion Pullet, and the Maxine Maxheimer Award. Each of these awards, with the exception of the Maxine Maxheimer Award, were presented to Palmquist by the 2023 Logan County Fair Royalty, Kodi Eigenbrod, Elli Wrage, and Ellyn Martinez. Palmquist’s winning birds were both Black Old English Game Bantams, one male and one female. Continued --
Page 67 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 The last award, the Maxine Maxheimer Award, was presented by Dale Maxheimer and Teresa Strampe. Maxheimer and Strampe’s mother, Maxine, used to present awards to 4-H competitors before her passing in 2007. Maxheimer and Strampe hand out the Maxine Maxheimer Award in honor of their mother to 4-H kids each year. After each of the above awards were handed out, there was one last section of judging, this one for Junior Showmanship. Judge Flees talked with several of the competitors about one of their birds. He wanted to see how knowledgeable they were, as well as how well they handled their animals. In the end, one competitor stood out among the others, and the Junior Showmanship Award was presented to Addelynn Peters.

Page 72 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 Reagan Titus takes all the awards at the 4-H Rabbit Show The 4-H Rabbit Show took place in the livestock show barn bright and early on Tuesday morning at the Logan County Fairground. Starting at just after 7:30 am, the event was small, with only a single competitor and her five rabbits. This competitor, Reagan Titus, shared that this happened last year as well, as there are not a lot of people who compete in the rabbit show. This did not deter Titus, however, as she confidently showed off all of her rabbits. Two of the rabbits Titus brought were named Ruby and Princess. Both of these rabbits she has raised since they were babies, she shared. They are now about four or five years old. Ruby was a beautiful black and white rabbit with patches of brown and tan. Princess, on the other hand, was a mixture of gray and white. The other three rabbits Titus brought were referred to as meat pen rabbits (three rabbits of the same breed and variety, but not from the same litter). These rabbits all had beautiful white fur and reddish eyes. Titus shared that these rabbits were borrowed, and she had been looking after them for about the last four weeks. None of these rabbits were named. The judge, Jerry Hicks, carefully looked over all five rabbits, asking Titus questions and making observations about each animal. Titus appeared very knowledgeable of her rabbits, answering all of Judge Hicks’ questions. Once the judging was over, Titus was presented with the awards in every category. These categories included Meat Pen Champion, Champion Rabbit, Best of All Four Class Breeds, Reserve Champion Rabbit, Junior Showmanship, and the Maxheimer Award. All of these awards, with the exception of the last one, were presented to Titus by the 2023 Logan County Royalty, Kodi Eigenbrod, Ellie Wrage, and Ellyn Martinez. The last award, the Maxheimer Award, was presented by Dale Maxheimer and Teresa Strampe. Maxheimer and Teresa’s mother, Maxine, used to hand out awards to 4-H kids before her passing in 2007. Maxheimer and Teresa keep their mother’s tradition alive by continuing to hand out this award to 4-H competitors each year.

Page 74 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 Young Farmers Kiddie Tractor Pull a popular event at the Logan County Fair Tuesday morning began early at the Logan County Fair for several area youngsters. The annual Kiddie Tractor Pull sponsored by the Logan County Farm Bureau Young Farmers started off with grey skies and a bit warm with high humidity. Things changed quickly as a cold front came rushing through the area. The soft rain afterwards didn't dampen any kids' aspirations for winning the tractor pull contest. A nice crowd was gathered under the KC Pavilion and kids and parents alike were excited to see what the morning held. The morning began with each contestant weighing in to see which of three different weight classes they would compete in. One of the cutest little weigh-in entries was a little guy who didn't stand on the scales but sat down. When you looked at him you had to wonder if his little legs would even reach the tractor pedals. By the end of the competition three winners from each of the three weight categories were announced and a group photo was taken with all the winners. lcha@frontier.com Providing Low Income Families with Safe and Affordable Housing!
