Jim Ackley's good musical presentations seemed to inspire more crowing than did the youthful rooster coaches, including Queen Nancy Miller and Princesses Anita and Kathy. Each year many people marvel at the fine work displayed at the fair by the youth and adults of this county. It is a fact that the FFA and the 4-H work here is outstanding. The open-class exhibits in baked food, canned food, needlework, crafts and art and photography surely rank very high. It seems like the flower and vegetable divisions may have had more and better entries other years. The grain division was, as usual, outstanding. I can't compare the animal entries or the livestock sale with other years, but these are always very good. The community booths seemed to really stress the themem "Expanding Horizons of the 80's." The Veterans of Foreign Wars and the VFW Auxilliary certainly had a deserving sweepstake-winning booth. Perhaps the fact that the Fair Premium Books came out in mid-June made for a better number of good entries this year than in years when the premium books have been released much later. Somehow there seemed to be a smaller number of commercial exhibitors at this year's fair. There also seemed to be a fewer number of participants in this year's Saturday parade. Did lone or Boardman participate? Weren't there fewer visiting court groups than usual? Maybe the high cost of travel, which has curtailed the trips that our own court makes, has cut into the schedules of others, too. It was so good to see the fine number of folks from Pendleton pass by. Everyone enjoys the colorful Soroptimist clowns. Attendance at the Friday night Morrow County Rodeo and at the Saturday and Sunday afternoon open rodeo shows seemed good. People have been saying that the rodeo shows were well run. It was sad to hear that several performers and at least one horse suffered, serious injuries. The Sunday morning breakfast certainly proved again that the Wranglers know how to put on a first-rate Cowboy Breakfast. Even though the early diners found the air chilly, the food and the crowd were warm and very good. So, now it is back-to-school time and back-to-regular-activity schedules for all family members. One of the cute stories that came out during fair week, which I shall long remember, concerns jolly Monsignor Murphy who is the substitute priest at St. Patrick's church. He told his congregation that a little girl he met at the fair was puzzled by his clerical collar. She studied it a little while and then asked him "Is that a flea collar you are wearing?" How quickly the 1981 Morrow County Fair ended, then the county rodeo, the parade, the open rodeo, the beef barbecue and the Wrangler's breakfast whizzed by before the final performances of the rodeo. Friday and Saturday nights saw rodeo dances at the Fair Pavilion, and many local folks and visitors enjoyed the carnival rides and booths during the action-filled days. How good it is to live in a community where volunteers give their time, energy and skills to work with these special annual events. So many hundreds of man, woman, and youth hours went into all of the community-originated events, that even at sub-minimum wages, the cost of that labor would be tremendous. Bless those who worked willingly and well so that everyone could enjoy attending these late-August activities. Probably statistics will be published soon telling how many attended the various events. Right now, I am only able to guess at how attendance compared with former years - and my personal experience goes back only 15 years now. It seems that the fair was well attended. The special events such as the tractor contest, the pet show, the horseshoe pitching and the miniature car races pleased many. It was a surprise to learn that the Family Fun Night last Wednesday drew more individuals than the committee ordered dinners for. When Irene Anhorn's Rooster Crowing Contest brought forth a dozen or so roosters while the barbecue equipment from Milton-Freewater was still visible in front of the grandstand and when people were hungry who were shorted chicken dinners - it took some restraint on the What's Your Opinion? aim "Did you enjoy the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo this year?"
