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."

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.

4-H Fashion Revue provides great fun
1995 Fashion Revue
The Thursday evening 4-H
Public Fashion Revue at the
outdoor stage is always a
pleasure to attend. In Morrow
County, 4-H members can
compete in two modeling con-
tests and display their model-
ing skills at the free style show.
" My Favorite Outfit" is a
contest that promotes con-
sumer skills-clothing selection
and coordination, as well as
poise and self-confidence .
Members may construct or pur-
chase their garments for this
contest, which is open to all
4-H members, regardless of
project area.
The "Fashion Revue" model-
ing contest is open to all doth-
ing, knitting and crocheting
project members . These con-
testants model garments that
they have constructed. Model-
ing in Fashion Revue is a com-
ponent of the "Outstanding
Clothing Member" award.
Participants in both contests ·.
prepare their own narrative to
be read during the public
show. The winning models are
selected during the contest
judging on Monday, Aug. 12.
Be sure to attend to 4-H
Fashion Revue on Aug. 15, at
7 p .m . at the outdoor stage
behind the Snack Shack. A
special attraction will be the ap-
pearance of the 1996 Morrow
County Fair and Rodeo Court,
modeling their royal ward-
robes .
