Many of the Morrow County Health District staff gathered
on the front lawn of Pioneer Memorial Hospital during their
lunch break on Wednesday, August 18, to enjoy barbecue and
demonstrate that their talent extends beyond the ability to
provide excellent patient care. Various staff braved the cat
calls to sing, dance, and perform magic and juggling tricks.

Italy trip meeting to be held
In the fair building on a genuinely warm Monday
afternoon, I sat ready to assist Marlene Pointer. She is the
‘volunteer’ superintendent registering and receiving the
items for Department VII, Division 1. Actually, Marlene
volunteers to be the superintendent for photography, but
she was needed in clothing and textiles on this particular
day.
Laundry baskets, giant plastic covered tubs and
arm loads o f items were delivered and ready to be signed
in. It was a joyous and overwhelming site. Lovely embroi
dery as smooth on the back as on the front, colorful and
playful little girl dresses, hand loomed rugs, crocheted
afghans, tote bags in m ulticolor designs, sundresses,
reversible jackets and tailored woolen suits were all
handed over with tender care and logged into the book
with equal care.
In some cases, I had a chance to ask a question
or two. “What type o f sewing machine do you use?” and
“ When do you find the time to do all o f this?”.
Usually, the answer was something like this,
“ 1 have a 35 year old Singer (or serger) that I use in
the basement after the family has gone to bed and I can
work without interruption.” Dam, I want to picture the
seamstress with a state of the art Bernina, Pfaff or Toyota
sewing machine (serger) in a brightly lit and well orga
nized sewing room with a view o f the creek and/or wheat
fields. She should have a mini fridge and a coffee pot by
the small kitchenette handy for her use ... just like the
design in Martha Stewart’s magazine.
However it is accomplished, the work is lovely,
original and personal and I am so grateful to be holding
it at that moment. Sharing handiwork is a generous gift. I
loved viewing the work submitted and watching the judge
making her decisions on each item. Most o f all, I was
inspired by the quilts, clothing and crafts and handiwork
that passed over our tables.
With certainty, I know there are some precious
original items made by my friends who do not submit their
work to the fair. Sadly, we all lose when these things are
not displayed. A good idea is a wondrous gift to share.
If you did not participate this year, please plan to make
something purely original and you for next year.
