Special Fair Rodeo Section - Page 7 Tole painters ready for fair They are adding the last tiny dabs of paint and the final polish to their tole painting exhibits riht now. Under the guidance of three leaders they are carefully packing them in tissue, ready to transport to county fair, and probably on to the State Fair in Salem. The Morrow Tole Painters are famous through out the slate for bringing home all the purple riblons. They've work ed hard and long again this year . , now they are ready for fair! leaders Eileen Padberg, Phyllis Piper, Linda Padberg list fifteen members this year who vary in aRe from fourth grade through seniors in high school. Regardless of age, they are skilled with the brush. Creative articles paint ed may be a clock or a cutting board, recipe holders or even a coal bucket ... or other decorative and useful items. Each chooses the article they wish to paint, and the design. It takes time and patience to create their outstanding ex hibits. It also takes dedication, skill, and love from leaders who give so much time to teach the fifteen 4-H members the many skills required. Tole painting is a skill members can use and enjoy for a lifetime to beautify a home, perhaps a career, or items to sell. See their outstanding pro jects at county fair on Mon day. We feel sure they'll be off to slate fair again this year! Freshman chose theme By KOCKR RECORDS This year's Fair theme, "Harvest Through The Ages" was submitted by Janelle Mc Elhaney, a freshman at Hep pner High School.

The students narrowed the field down to five before hav ing the Fair Committee make the final selection. Larry Cerullo. language arts teacher said, "It's a great idea -- it gives more students a chance to participate In the fair." Roger Records, fair com mittee chairman, said that all the themes suggested to the fair committee were very good and it was not an easy task to select the one to use. The Fair Committee ap preciates the input from the youth in the county, we would like to continue this method of choosing our fair theme. Next year we would like to have the schools at lone and Boardman-Irrigon compete as well.
