County Fair: Heart and soul of fair lies in livestock Continued from Page A1 This year, three very tal- ented young women com- prised the Wallowa County Fair 4-H court: Quincee Zacharias, Destiny Wecks, and Dakota DeLyria. There’s little glory and a lot of hard work involved in the honor. Duties of a 4-H court member include getting up early and participating in the fl ag-raising ceremony, run- ning the Bessie Bingo fund- raiser, and helping to keep a number of classes, including those at the horse show, dog show, and others, organized, running on time, and helping tabulate the results. That’s in addition to the work of showing your 4-H animal. Wecks and Zach- arias each raised a mar- ket hog, and each earned a reserve championship. Wecks, who also rides with the Tuckerettes at the open- ing of the Chief Joseph Days Rodeo, did well in the horse show. DeLyria loves the out- doors, but is more attuned to motorbikes and ATVs than horses. She spends as much time as possible on her grand- parents’ property near Flora.
