FOUfl - Special EdrtlOO Morrow County Fair & Rodeo Heppner Gazette-Times. Wednesday, August 7, 1996 Awards program planned Aug. 17 Do you ever feel there is too much focus on what is wrong with youth today? Here is your chance to see what is great about Morrow County youth- attend the Morrow County Fair Awards Program, Saturday, Aug. 17, at 4:30 p .m . in the Livestock Pavilion. The Awards Program is a must for 4-H and FFA youth, parents, leaders and anyone who enjoys young people. At the Awards Program, the 4-H and FFA awards are given, as well as Open Oass Creative Hand Award. It is always fun to see older youth receive the traditional "Grand Ownpion" and "Outstanding ... " awards. But it is also fun to see younger members receive the "Cham- pion Junior Cookie Maker" or "Most Enthusiastic Beginner Livestock Member" awards. Most awards are purchased by the Morrow County 4-H Leaders Council, with funds raised by volunteers through the donor campaign or snack shack operation. These awards are separate from fair premium awards. "Every youth who completes project requirements, registers for fair on time and competes is a winner from my view- point," says OSU Extension youth and family agent Carol Michael-Bennett. "I encourage family, neighbors and friends of 4-H members to attend the awards program and congra- tulate youth for their participa- tion in the 1996 Morrow Coun- ty Fair." • Be a part of the Morrow County Fair You go to the Morrow Coun- ty Fair to look at the flowers, or watch the 4-H members com- pete, but what makes fair real- ly fun is being part of it!

New sewing machines to use The 4-H Leaders Council has recently purchased two new White sewing machines and two new White sergers to be used by sewing clubs. They may be in great demand so if you want to use them, call the Morrow County Extension of- fice at 676-9642 o r 1-800- 342-3664 to check them o ut, said Bill Broderick, OSU Ex- tension agent. They ask that people allow four or five days so the machine can be available for you when you want it. Glaya and Mildred Baker work- ed on this project. Another really exciting pro- ject has been to get three new ranges for the 4-H annex, said Broderick. These stoves will be used for contests during fair and other community activities the rest of the year. This was a joint project between the Mor- row County Fair Board and the Morrow County 4-H Leaders Council. @niand Empire Bank r--~- Proudly Supports Monow County Fair & Rodeo Special Edition Morrow County Fair & Rodeo Heppner Gazette-Times.
