Page 22 Lincoln Daily News 2026 Logan County Fair August 2026 4-H Floriculture Displays Bright Blooms at the Logan County Fair Several local 4-H floriculturists brought their bright blooms to be judged on Monday morning, Aug 3. There were a number of flower arrangements and cut flower entries on display. The judge spent several minutes with each entrant asking questions about the different varieties of flowers used in arrangements, when they had planted the flowers, and if they had planted the flowers from seeds or seedlings. She asked about the size of the plants and if they encountered any issues while growing the flowers. She wrapped up by asking if the participants would do anything different in their growing process next year. There was friendly competition between the Wrage sisters, Olivia and Ellie. Olivia spoke with the judge about her marigolds, and Ellie spoke extensively about her hydrangeas. Hattie Jones, a first-year 4-H member, brought her Denver lilies, daisies, and verbena. For Scout Coers, in her second year of 4-H, floriculture was just one of her projects. She brought two arrangements with flowers from her garden and her grandma’s. She also had entries in sewing, a project on horses in animal science, and a creative writing project. Scout will be showing her Dorset Advantage sheep, June, on Thursday. She enjoys the animal barns, the rides, and her favorite fair treat is a snow cone. [Joli Boerma Crane]
