RCA RODEO, afternoon show Special events and demonstrations to be announced throughout the Fair ttlvK SSfSSJ 4H'ers extra busy during fair week The first place you'll see . when you drive out to county fair grounds is marked "4-H Annex". That's where you'll see what has been happening with the members enrolled in the 4-H homenec projects, the 4-H creative arts, vegetable projects, and all other project areas with the exception of livestock. That is also where you'll have the opportunity to see the 4-H presentations, and a wide variety of contests. Everyone in 4-H likes an audience, for they are at the Fair to show what they have learned, or have been doing, the past year. There is an open invitation to everyone to attend all events, and to come by and enjoy a close look at exhibits in the 4-H annex. There are always friendly 4-H leaders and superintendents on hand, so don't be afraid to ask questions, or for help in finding a special exhibit of interest. We encourage you to visit the 4-H exhibits early in the week, as dates of the. Morrow County fair coincide with State Fair, and all exhibits ' selected for the state show must leave early Wednesday morning to be entered in Salem that day to be judged. Events for the home-ec girls start early Monday morning with style revue judging at the gym by the elementary school. The big public style show is Tuesday evening, in front of the main grandstand at the fairgrounds. This is the high point for the 4-H clothing and knitting members, when they model thier garments, showing not only what they have made, but how well they have put it all together, and their poise and confidence in modeling. This year a new contest, "favorite outfit" has been added, with participants also modeling in the public revue. The Annex is a busy place all day Tuesday, as members come in for interviews as the judge looks over their gar ments or articles, and crea tive art exhibits, tastes the food products, and gives helpful hints to the member before placing the ribbons. Wednesday's action in the 4-H building is food prep aration contests, and sewing and knitting skills. We emph asize the events that bring the members in to actually show the skills they have ac complished. There will be dinners prepared, with special guests invited, pies, breads, snacks, and breakfasts will be served up while both the judge and audience observe. While this is going on, others will be sewing and knitting under the watchful eye of the judge. Early Thursday morning the special interest turns to what we think of as the "style revue" of the foods members. The Favorite Food Show event allows opportunity for the members to show food prep aration skills, table settings, menu planning, nutritional learnings, and also being a gracious hostess. Space does not allow them to remain on display all day, so be sure to come early to see this special event. Presentations start immed iately after the food show, and may be a demonstration of how to do or make something, an illustrated lecture, or any type presentation where the , members share information with the audience. All pre sentations are scheduled to be given on Thursday, with time for each presentation posted. To be able to effectively present information is a skill needed more today than ever before, and these kids are really great. You'll be amazed at their creative ideas, their poise, and their ability to communicate. There will be seats avail able, so feel free to walk in and watch for awhile, or stay the entire time. Many have the mistaken idea that total silence or no distractions are necessary while presentations are underway, but we feel the audience is a most necessary part of the presentation. Don't miss the outstanding pre sentations given by Morrow 4-H'ers of all ages. Breakfast slated for 4H'ers A special event during Fair this year will be a breakfast for all 4-H leaders, Thursday, August 25, 6:30a.m. at West of Willow Restaruant, courtesy of the 4-H Leaders Council. After the full week of fair, everyone begins to get a little weary, so this special event is planned in appreciation of the work leaders have carried out all year. Louis Carlson, lone 4-H leader, is in charge of plans for the breakfast and he promises it will be worth getting out of bed extra early that morning. Those who plan to attend are asked to notify Louis by calling 422-7282, or by card to Box 295, lone.
