Time to prepare for county
Thinking "Fair
Suddenly, we have many
questions regarding exhibits,
plans, and times of county fair
events. We agree, it is time fpr
4-H'ers to be getting their act
together if. they .are planning
to be a part of the fair action.
County fair premium bookr
shduld be mailed to a'l
'etfrolled 4-H families in the
immediate future.. .so many
questions will be answexed
when they are received, if
your premium book does not
arrive in the next two weeks, it
would be a good idea to call
676-9642, Extension Service, or
Nancy Bruch, Fair Board
Secretary.
All 4-H exhibitors planning
to show lambs in the market
class should have their lambs
shorn at least 30 days, but not
mot e than 60 days prior to the
fair.
Mosts contests and exhibits
are the same as in past years,
with the exception of the 4-H
foods contests. Many changes
were made in this fair activity
so they are identical to state
fair. All leaders were mailed
copies of the changes early in
the 4-H year.
We encourage clubs and
individuals to call us at any
time they have a question...
We are here to help. Right now

area, according to County
Sheriff Larry Fetsch.

working on expanding the

While the 911 system is 99
percent complete, the two
year project to update Morrow
County's emergency commun
