July 20-24, 2011WHERE FRIENDS MEET

Welcome to the 2011 Lincoln County Fair. As always, there is something for everyone at our free fair, and the members of the fair board can’t wait to share this year’s fair with you.

We are very excited about the entertainment that we will be bringing to the Custom Design Heating & Cooling Mainstage. Wednesday we will feature Boogie and the Yo-Yoz and Thursday we will have Vic Ferrari. Jessie Brown, a favorite from last year, will be back again this year on Friday night, and Geoff Landon and the Wolf Pack will be here on Saturday. You can check out our web site www.lincolnco4hfair.com for more information.

Every year at the fair there are some things that never change. You will always stroll through the livestock barns for a look at the cows, calves, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, ducks, chickens…well you get my point. Stay in the barns

to watch the Market Animal Show on Thursday, and watch the Dairy Show on Friday. Come on Saturday for the Market Animal Sale. These 4-H and FFA animal exhibitors work very hard to bring their livestock to the fair, so enjoy their shows and stay to see the cows get milked. Don’t forget the Small Animal Auction; it is the best place in town to buy a bunny!

Another thing that never changes is the 4-H exhibits, including everything from baked goods and crops to cultural arts and photography. The antiques are in the Schultz Building and the vendors are under the grandstand and in the Sell building. And as always, the Demo Derby is in the Grandstand on Sunday. Mud Volleyball, always a crowd pleaser, will again be by the Entertainment Tent.

A big thank you goes out to our friends at the

Habitat for Humanity for the skills, time and effort in the renovations of the Brickyard School House. The new windows were donated from Lincoln Wood. There is also siding, new doors and a fresh coat of paint inside and out. Inside the school house you will find a board signed by the original builder in 1905.

We can’t wait to see you as you walk up and down the midway enjoying the sights and sounds of the fair and bumping into those friends you haven’t seen for awhile. We hope that you enjoy the carnival rides and games, and have those cheese curds or that cotton candy that you waited all year for. From the Lincoln County Fair Board and all the committees and volunteers, we hope that you have a great time!

Mark Duley, President

By Debbie Moellendorf, 4-H Youth Development Educator with UW-Extension in Lincoln County

The County Fair is a great opportunity to see an array of skills and talents that local 4-H members and other youth from throughout Lincoln County are learning. Over 300 youth from throughout Lincoln County will be exhibiting over 4,000 exhibits. Exhibits will be of their project work ranging from art pieces they’ve created to photos to model rockets to displays about their leadership experiences. Of course, the exhibits will also include animals from cows to chickens to llamas to horses. In addition, over 180 open division exhibitors will be exhibiting over 2,500 exhibits. All of these exhibits will be displayed throughout the fairgrounds for the public to view.

Completing a project and showing it at the fair has been a 4-H tradition since the organization was formed over 100 years ago. Participating in the county fair offers a number of benefits to young people:

•Young people gain a sense of pride and satisfaction when they display their work publically and the recognition that they have successfully completed the project.

•Young people who show projects

learn something about showmanship and presenting themselves and their project in the best possible way. This is a skill they will use in school, on job interviews and on the job.

•Participating in project judging also helps young people develop their own evaluative and critical thinking skills. Showing the project at the fair is educational, because each project is evaluated, and young people can learn what they did well, and what they might do better next time.

•4-H leaders and staff help young people realize that completing the project is the most important achievement and winning is not the only goal. More judging is done face-to-face in which the youth can answer questions about their projects and learn how the judge is evaluating it. Judges are encouraged to give positive feedback and suggestions for improvements.

•Interactive judging also helps the 4-H members develop poise, self-confidence

and the ability to think on their feet - all skills that will help them as they advance in school and move into careers.

In addition to exhibiting at the county fair, many youth are also involved in making the fair a reality. They serve a department chair people and committee members who oversee various departments at the fair. Through these experiences young people are developing their leadership skills while providing the opportunity for other youth to display their project work. Older youth, who serve as Lincoln County 4-H Ambassadors, will be very visible during the county fair in emceeing, distributing awards, and promoting 4-H. And still other youth will be working in the Dairyland Stand or in the 4-H raffle/Promotion Booth that will be located in the Steckling Building.

A county fair is a great opportunity to see all the positive things that youth throughout Lincoln County are doing and involved in. Adults see that youth are creative and ingenious. They can see the skills they have learned and how they are

applying those skills.

4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. 4-H is about having fun, learning, exploring and discovering. In 4-H, young people make new friends, develop new skills, become leaders and help shape their communities. These youth live in cities, suburbs, small towns and rural communities. 4-H supports and empowers young people.

To learn more about 4-H, contact the Lincoln County UW-Extension office at 539-1072 or stop by our office in the Lincoln County Service Center at 801 n. Sales Street, Suite 101. You can also learn more by visiting the UW-Extension Lincoln County website at http://lincoln.uwex.edu/ or you can subscribe to the Lincoln County 4-H Blog at http://fyi.uwex.edu/lincolncounty4h/. As a subscriber to the blog you will receive a weekly email with the latest information about 4-H.
