Fairgoers chill outwith the wet, wild funof a new fair feature.

By Ben Graham

Families trying to beat the heat dur-ing the Teton County Fair this year found respite, and an adrenaline rush, at the fair’s new water park.

Seven inflatable aquatic apparatus-es were splayed across the outfield of the baseball diamond behind the rodeo grounds. For $15, children slid, ran, jumped and swam to their hearts’ content.

For some at the park Friday, that meant racing to the top of the loftiest ride — a 26-foot-tall slide — and skidding to the bottom, breathless.

“If you lift up your legs you go super fast and you can get air,” 8-year-old Tucker Wilson said. When asked to give his review of the entire park, Tucker responded succinctly: “Totally sweet.”

Children and parents echoed that sentiment as they attempted to cool off beneath the midday sun. A half-dozen youngsters hopped fervently in a moon bounce as a water park employee sprayed them with a hose. Two above-ground swimming pools erected near the west fence of the ball field allowed children to play in “bumper boats” or to wade with life jackets on. Sponges floating in the pool served as water balloons.

“It’s like a snowball fight in the middle of summer,” said Reed Dayton, a father from Alta who hadn’t been on a water ride but was nonetheless soaked from his sons’ well-aimed sponge bombs.

His wife, Candace Dayton, said she preferred bringing her sons to the water park rather than the carnival.

“This is a lot more family-friendly,” she said. There are no worries about motion

sickness and you don’t have to continu-ally shell out money for games and other activities, she said.

“It’s a good answer to the heat,” Dayton added. “I hope they bring it back.”

The Teton County Fair board decided to add the water park this year as a way to cool off revelers.

“It seemed like every year, this last week in July, it’s always very hot,” fair board President Steve Harrington said.

“On a summer day, what could be better? I think it’s working.”

The board hired Dave Gordon, who operates a small fair in Shoshone, Idaho, to bring his water attractions to town.

The water park was a hit from day one, Gordon said. He kept it open until 8 p.m. the first day it was set up, July 24, even though it was supposed to close at 6 p.m.

His operation seems to have already

won the support of a wide swath of par-ents and their children.

“It’s probably one of my favorite water parks ever,” 8-year-old Zane Schroeder said.

Annie Kuhns agreed. She was at the park Friday watching her children and their friends, including Tucker and Zane.

“I’m so glad the fair put something in for kids to do during the day,” Kuhns said. “They have something for every age.”

After eating a pie sans hands, Hailey Hardeman, 11, mounts her ride during Horse Show Fun Night, a series of events designed for laughs and low-pressure competition.

Rodeo riders lighten upat Horse Show Fun Night.

By Emma Breysse

There were a lot of clues that Teton County Fair’s Horse Show Fun Night wasn’t your average time in

the arena.The same barrels that many of the

participants race around in rodeos were there, but so were Coke cans and plastic baseball bats. And competitors waiting for their chance to ride usually wear cow-boy hats, not baseball caps.

Most prominently, the atmosphere inside and outside the arena was less one of students studying for the bar exam in rhinestone-studded jeans and more that of a neighborhood picnic.

“It’s competing, but it’s fun,” 8-year-old Gracie Hardeman said. “That’s why it’s fun night.”

Gracie was one of the competitors at the July 19 event who was used to run-ning a clover-leaf pattern around the bar-rels. But this night she and her fellow Fun Night participants had a different task: to circle the barrels while using a brightly colored plastic baseball bat to knock Coke cans off of them.

The fastest time won, but every can that didn’t end up on the ground added a 5-second penalty.

From the pie-eating contest (horses

can’t help) to musical chairs, all of the night’s events followed the same theme: doing something a little goofy on horse-back. Riders still got scores and won rib-bons, but the point of the night was the laughs.

For younger competitors, it was a chance to show off their riding skills without the pressure of a rodeo or a for-mal show.

“You’re not so nervous,” 10-year-old Stevie Tucker said. “If you lose, it doesn’t matter.”

The three friends she was standing with seemed to agree. Like most of the night’s competitors, they were neighbors and rodeo rivals as well as friends.

In fact, there weren’t many strangers in the arena during Fun Night.

“It’s cool to see everybody and hang out with people,” said 13-year-old Grace Perry. “It’s different than rodeo because you’re not running so hard.”

It was also different from rodeo in how relaxed riders and their parents were before and after a turn in the

arena. Instead of taking deep breaths and working to shake off the competi-tion jitters, most riders who weren’t on the spot were yelling encouragement to the one who was, eating chips in the saddle and joking with their group of friends.

Their parents chatted casually, too, with none of the white-knuckle nerves that come with higher stakes.

Even failure came with good-natured chuckles. Hand-eye coordination at a can-ter is harder than it looks. Despite impres-sive swings with the bats, most competi-tors missed at least one can entirely.

Only two riders knocked off every can. One of them was Gracie Hardeman’s sister, Hailey, who came away with the event’s blue ribbon, beating the second-place finisher by a tenth of a second.

“It’s fun to come and try differ-ent things,” 11-year-old Hailey said. “Everybody’s here to do events that are totally different. You can’t really get mad if you mess up because you’re doing something new.”

Sabrina Deitchler snaps a picture of her 6-year-old daughter, Chloe, wearing the blue ribbon she won in a costume contest during Horse Show Fun Night.

“You’re notso nervous.If you lose,it doesn’tmatter.”

Porcine wrestlers best humans with agile moves, slimy skin.

By Johanna Love

If you’ve never seen a grown man in a bacon suit “sizzling” facedown in the mud, you haven’t lived. Or at least you

didn’t make it to the Pig Wrestling com-petition Thursday at Teton County Fair.

The porcine athletes of Double D Pig Wrestling in Greybull were in rare form Thursday, besting the humans in about two-thirds of the 64 matches.

Was it the amazing athleticism of the porkers or timid humans?

“Both,” Double D owner Ron Dalin said near the end of the Peewee division for ages 8 and younger, in which just two of the 16 teams were victorious.

Never seen pig wrestling? Here’s the basics: Four human wrestlers face off with a pig of similar athletic ability. Children tackle a 15- to 25-pound piglet, juniors face a 50-pound pig, and men and women grapple with a full-grown hog, 150 to 250 pounds. The humans try to pick up the pig, walk it over to a sawdust-filled barrel and plop it in, rump first, in 1 minute or less.

Muckers like Dalin and fair board member Brad LaTorre aid the pigs by dumping buckets of slimy bentonite clay mud on their backs.

Play-by-play announcing isn’t neces-sary, since the muck-filled pen is in full view of two stands in the rodeo arena, so Rex Hansen usually sticks with color commentary and advice.

“Hustle and muscle,” Hansen said. “That’s all it takes.”

“Grab him like you’re gonna hug him,” Hansen told team Get That Pig, girls dressed in pink shirts and tights.

“Pretend you’re going out on a Saturday night with your best boyfriend or girl-friend,” Hansen said to team Cochon Hunters, peewees dressed in camouflage. “Whisper sweet nothings in their ears.”

“Think of it as a trip to the dentist,” Hansen advised the all-girl Pig Tails as they tiptoed toward the pig. “It’ll only hurt for a lil’ bit.”

Parents allowed near the ring to pho-tograph their wee wrestlers hollered encouragement as well.

“Get ’em, get ’em!” Trey Davis yelled at his daughter Jordan, part of team Sueytwater.

“Pick him up, Shelby!” mom Shannon Payne said to her daughter, one of the Hog Hunters 2.

In the junior category, ages 9 to 14, the kids were more successful.

Hailey Hardeman led the Wyoming Pig Pokes team to victory, charging through the muck and being the first to lay hands on the pig. After dumping the pig in the bucket within 40 seconds, Hailey said her strategy was “dive on it, corner it.”

Although team member Kole Morris “dove for it,” wrestler Sterling Smith said, “Hailey did most of the work. She got him down and picked him up.”

Hailey’s performance was bested only by Kinzie Castagno, who led the Pigarinas to victory by sprinting across the ring with a look of utter determina-tion. Backed up by solid hands of three other girls, Castagno moved the pig from point A to bucket B in just 34 seconds.

The sheer size of the hog trotting around as the first men’s team took the ring caused the crowd to collectively gasp. Peter Can’t Fish made short work of the task, establishing itself as the team to beat with a time of 13.63 seconds.

As the three-hour event neared its close, the women’s teams added colorful touches to the night. A member of the Raggedy Hams cooed at her foe, “He’s so cute,” but 30 seconds later, after the pig caused her to flop belly-down in the muck, she changed her tune. “You little sh--!” she hollered.

Tayler Arnold, a member of the divi-sion-winning Banditos with a time of 15.65 seconds, said boldness is key when grappling a pig.

“You just go for it,” she said.

After selling their 7-year-old horse to the Vanzutphen family Saturday afternoon during the Performance Horse Sale, Dustin Child and his children, Jamin and Haze, of Afton, chat with the buyers.

Sellers got to lengthsto show off steeds, butbuyers were not impressed.

By Sarah H. Wolverton

You can lead a buyer to an auction, but you can’t make him pay.

That was certainly the case at Teton County Fair’s newest addition to its lineup. The first Performance Horse Sale, which took place July 20, didn’t go as well as some had hoped.

The most frequent word at the sale wasn’t “sold!” as many had hoped to hear, but instead Nick Nichols’ cry of, “Folks, we’re on the wrong side of $10,000 here!”

Nichols, the auc-tion’s horse pedi-gree specialist, was brought in to assess each animal’s condi-tion and comment on its abilities. But Nichols, along with many others, had hoped to see horses going for more than buyers were willing to bid.

Jason Wheeldon, one of the primary organizers of the event, felt the same way.

“It was something we’d talked about doing for years,” he said, “and hopefully it’ll get better as the years go by.”

The auction looked promising in the abstract: 55 registered bidders and 34 horse lots with a great variety in age, color and ability. But purse strings were cinched shut. Nichols, the consignors and auction-eer Todd Stevie wouldn’t stand for selling

top-notch horses for $1,000, but Nichols’ recurring cry wasn’t enough to open wal-lets, and the most expensive horse sold for just $8,000.

“These horses should be going for a lot more,” said Mary Gerty, a spectator at the sale. “They’re broken, they’re trained and they’re beautiful.”

The talent and training of the horses was demonstrated in the small ring encir-cled by bleachers in Heritage Arena. When a lot was called, the horse and rider entered the ring and displayed the horse’s abilities.

Consignors resorted to showing their horses’ impressive handling and skills

to draw in a larger price tag. Some riders stood up in the saddles to prove the horses’ cooperation, trust and talent. One got onto the horse while it was lay-ing down to prove how well-trained it was as it steadi-ly got to its feet. Another, trying to sell the family horse, showcased

its docility by putting his 4- to 8-year-old children in the saddle. Still others exhib-ited impressive lead changes and maneu-vering in the tight ring set up at the cen-ter of the bleachers.

But all that grand showmanship didn’t find these equines a new home. Fourteen of the 34 horses weren’t sold, though there were a few bids on them.

Stevie, a horse auction veteran, also was disappointed by the low prices, but he hoped the sale will gain a bigger following and be more successful in years to come.

Performing horses, reluctant spenders

Potential bidders watch as a seller shows off his horse Saturday afternoon at the first-ever Performance Horse Sale at the Heritage Arena. Only 20 of the 34 horses found buyers.

“These horses should be going for a lot more. They’re broken, they’re

trained and they’re beautiful.”

Farmers, craftsmen, bakers offer their best to judgment.

By Angus M. Thuermer Jr.

How did Don Perkins get his monster zucchini to grow so big?

Or Nancy Henderson find the patience to hand-stitch her Best of Show-winning “Robbing Peter to pay Paul” quilt?

Will Tara Holzinger make her Wyoming Whiskey coffee cake available commercially?

Such were the questions that rattled the brain during a traipse through the Exhibit Hall at the Teton County Fair.

Judges thought Perkins’ zucchi-ni, more than a foot long, was too big. University Extension educa-tor Mary Martin reminded them that growing normal-size veg-etables in 6,150-foot-high Jackson Hole was an achievement, much less oversize produce.

He won a first-place ribbon.“It would be an awesome

stuffed-zucchini dinner,” said Martin.

Henderson’s yellow and white

quilt employed a pattern in which each block was the inverse of its neighbor. Half the blocks were

yellow and white, the other white and yellow. The pattern title is derived from the swapping of col-ored pieces between every other block. All were held together by intricate needlework.

“Her stitches are fabulous,” Martin said of the Best of Show winner.

“Gorgeous,” judges wrote.Henderson beat other quil-

ters who used machines. Some sewers think there should be separate categories.

Exquisite stitching pat-terns and sparkles marked Judy Larson’s first-place machine-sewn entry. She ran into trou-ble, however.

“Corner threads should match,” judges wrote.

Diana Brown’s frog patterns on her quilt were “very cute,” judges said. It would be perfect for a boy, Brown said.

Judges must have had fun with the food entries.

“This cherry pie was abso-lutely amazing,” Martin said of Milly Foster’s Division Champion entry.

Even people who don’t like beer would enjoy Calvin Schenck’s oatmeal stout, she said. He also was Division Champion.

News&Guide columnist Doreen Tome was Division Champ for her strawberry rhu-barb pound cake. Pine Drive residents hoped she’d share it with her neighbors. Holzinger’s whiskey coffee cake also was a Division Champion.

Alas, fair rules require all entries remain in the Exhibit Hall all week, so these two treats were destined for the garbage.

Best of Show went to Linda Delgado for her Gruyere-stuffed crusty rolls.

“That would be delicious with soup,” Martin said.

Intricate obsidian arrow-heads and antler knives won Scott Shervin Best of Show in his category.

Nevin Greiber won Reserve Champion for his switch or Spey rod. He included a poster show-ing how he made the handsome two-piece, designed for steel-head angling.

Judges deemed “A Day in the Village” to be Division Champion among Lego constructions. An aerial tram, climbing wall and ski-ers completed the Brueghel-like scene. Artist: Sully Solis, age 6.

Talents no longer hidden in Exhibit Hall

A photographer had one of the best exhibits in the Exhibit Hall at the Teton County Fair: pictures of 4-H members from back in the day — perhaps 30 years ago.

The large black-and-white prints hung from the hall’s ceiling, recalling a generation of youngsters who are now parents themselves. The pictures weren’t entered in any competition but rather culled from the collection of Elizabeth McCabe, the late co-publisher of the Jackson Hole News&Guide

who photographed fair participants religiously.

McCabe died last June.Among the collection were faces of

members of families who made up the core of the valley just as it was morphing from a ranching and agricultural stronghold into a new and different community in which raising stock was no longer a focus. Betty Lucas smiled from behind one huge ribbon, a youthful Rusty Brown from behind another.

Looking at one of McCabe’s

photographs — a group of 4-H members at a ranch, flanked by their mentors — one valley resident recognized his high-school face and also the girl he idolized.

“I took her to the prom,” he said wistfully. “She left me for bigger and better things.”

McCabe opened up her collection to UW Extension’s Mary Martin back in 1999, Martin said.

“I went through boxes and boxes of files” to come up with the 20 or so photographs on exhibit, she said.

Dancers make a big noise as they show what they’ve learned.

By Brielle Schaeffer

While other kids were rais-ing steers or making quilts for the Teton County Fair, the Teton Mountain Thunder 4-H Cloggers were refining their dance routines.

The performances during the fair were the troupe’s way to get credit in the youth development organization.

“That’s our show,” leader Amanda Beckett said after a Friday evening appearance under the Big Top. “That’s our exhibit.”

The troupe, made up of about 15 girls, has been practicing for the fair since January.

At the shows the girls wowed the crowds with synchronized numbers to country and hip-hop tunes “Summertime Blues” and “The Cupid Shuffle.”

“I really like dancing,” 7-year-

old clogger Kate Ryan said. “I like it because I really like listen-ing to music.”

Dancing at the fair gets the little Moran resident excited, she said.

The metal on the clogs makes the dancing more fun, 12-year-old Jenna McFarland of

Jackson said.“You don’t have to be on a

hard surface just to clog,” she said. “You can be on grass and still hear it.”

Clogs are different from tap dancing shoes because they have two plates of metal drilled together on the toe to create a

“double tap,” 10-year-old Rory Sullivan said.

“They sound a lot different,” the Jackson girl said.

In their uniforms of kelly green T-shirts, jeans and white clogs, the girls shimmied to Neal McCoy’s “The Shake.” They kept the beat with their hands on their hips to Billy Carrington’ “Love Done Gone” and twirled to “Summertime Blues,” all while expertly flicking their ankles to make the shiny plates connect with the stage.

The littlest dancers were sometimes confused but looked to the older troupe members for guidance.

In “The Cupid Shuffle” the girls kicked their legs and fluidly moved their arms.

The finale of the performance was a fast dance to a “Cotton-Eyed Joe” remix. The advanced dancers swiftly stomped their feet and jumped on the stage while the audience clapped along with them.

Clogging lets Ruby Rammell

show her skills, the 10-year-old Jackson resident said.

“I get to cheer people up,” Ruby said.

She also wanted to be in 4-H so she could get a scholarship for college.

Other girls wanted to dance with the troupe to hang out with their friends and make new ones.

“It’s like family,” 12-year-old Kate Daigle of Jackson said.

The dancers were Kylie Anderson, Ruby Rammell, Rory Sulivan, Aspen Waldron, Kyra Waldron, Kirsten Upton, Brienna Upton, Shelby White, Kate Ryan, Vega Sanchez, Jenna McFarland, Kinzie Castagno, Isabelle Upton, Kate Daigle and Maddie Halas.

Simply knowing how to dance and move to beats will surely make the entire troupe dance- floor favorites at wed-dings in the future.

“It’s really fun,” Beckett said. “It’s kind of a unique talent.”

Cloggers bring the thunder to Teton County Fair

It’s not often that 4-H’ers themselves are the ones on display.

Seven participants — all female — waltzed down an invisible runway during the 4-H Fashion Revue on Monday, mod-eling the fruits of their hours of designing and sewing.

Earlier that morning the judges of the fashion review had wrinkled their brows and cradled their foreheads in their hands. They made notes and subjected each of the participants to an interview, conducting an investigation into tech-niques, processes and fabric care of every garment on display.

Spectators at the judging — also almost exclusively female, save a stray brother or two — trickled in and out of the space dedicated to the Fashion Revue judging in the 4-H building, a carpeted room with accordion walls pulled out to the size of a high school classroom.

The young women who were about to present did diverse anxiety dances behind the open door of the accordion wall. Out of sight of the judges, they were in the sight of mothers, who communicated with forceful, silent gestures: Adjust that waist-line! Stand up straight! Smile!

Hemlines were pulled, bracelets were cast off. Nervous tics subsided when the two judges declared they were ready. Then a deep inhalation and a sparkling smile led into a carefully crafted walking routine.

Sophie Mattson, 17, the Grand Champion, gave a salute as she showed off her award-winning dress. A baby blue, woven cotton creation with a rolled hem, it was spotted with tiny red anchors and drew vocal praise from the audience at the judging.

“That’s adorable!” an older lady in the back said.

“I couldn’t even tell it had pockets!” her companion replied.

Paired with towering red lace-up heels, the well-constructed outfit made Mattson a formidable competitor. She described the difficulty of constructing the rolled hem and explained to the judges her deci-sion not to line the dress.

Molly Moyer, 14, was crowned Reserve Champion. She dominated in quantity and demonstrated versatility, creating a tie-dyed maxi dress, a magenta linen skirt and a floral silk blouse. She also mod-eled a ready-to-wear outfit that consisted of flared jeans and a purple peasant top. Before Molly’s first walk, her mother tied a sheer purple ribbon in her hair that

matched the ruched ribbon on the tiers of her dress.

“I really liked sewing the ribbon,” Molly said. “That was fun for me.”

The purple ribbon she claimed for her silk blouse and linen skirt was well earned.

“The top got on my nerves,” she said, laughing and describing the difficulty of pressing the garment. “But I liked it,” she

conceded, game for the challenge of the sewing process.

Participants try their hands at design-ing, constructing and modeling a textile creation. From ruching to pressing, lin-ing to hemming, the entire process takes dedication. Each participant demonstrat-ed notable skill despite varying experi-ence. They’re a determined set: Devoting hours sitting at the sewing machine and

participating in the competition requires a sharp eye, concentration and an inti-mate knowledge of the materials and their temperaments.

“It was a challenge for me,” 12-year-old Sofie Graupner said after her judg-ing. “But that’s OK because all I’ve done are aprons and clothes for my sister’s stuffed animals.”

Using a friend’s sewing machine she managed to complete her project in about 20 hours, spending four hours each for five days bending over a table.

“I’m proud!” Sofie said as she present-ed to the judges.

She modeled a mint green halter dress with a high waist and ruffles on the bot-tom that she planned to wear for picnics and concerts in the summertime. The dress earned a blue ribbon in the inter-mediate division from the judges.

Her friend Maelyn Dolman, 10, made a chambray shirt and a fern green skirt. She would like to be a fashion designer, she said, but the sewing part is not her forte.

“Hemming is pretty hard,” she said. “It takes a lot of patience. I’m not very patient.”

But she still took home a purple ribbon in the junior division for her skirt, which sported a scarlet waistband.

In the senior division, Bekah Bednar and Mattson won purples for their cre-ations. Bednar, 15, sewed a black-and-white tribal print hoodie. Molly won a blue for her dress and ready-to-wear school outfit.

In the intermediates, Bella Morris, 13, and Zoie Dayton, 13, won purple ribbons.

A narration, spoken aloud by a 4-H leader or guardian, accompanied the modeling component. During the some-times tense modeling, the narration added a layer of personal meaning to each creation.

Bella designed and constructed her woven cotton turquoise halter dress in anticipation of when she goes to study abroad in the south of France this coming year. In France, “you’ll dress up just to go to the grocery store,” she said. She kicked up her heel, accented by a red clog, when she halted at the end of her walk.

“I learned a bunch of stuff,” said Zoie, who prepared an army green knit skirt. In particular she learned to work with “tricky fabric,” she said. The slippery material swirled and glided around softly, reaching just above the knee, suggesting the challenges she encountered under the machine.

At the end of Zoie’s judging, she asked a question of the judges in return: “Do you guys wanna feel the fabric?”

Isabella Gwilliam singsher way to top honorsat the annual talent show.

By Mike Koshmrl

The kids of St. John’s Medical Center’s day care were probably never the front runners to take home first place at the annual Rita Case Memorial Talent Show.

They were plenty funny, though.The youngsters did their best at an

“Orange Nya Nya Style” dance, a popu-lar parody of the Korean rapper Psy’s “Gangham Style.” The result was a beautifully off-rhythm and chaotic jum-ble of onstage activity.

“Are you a movie star?” Flo the Clown, who emceed the event, asked a young dancer after the performance.

“We try to be, but it’s really hard,” the little girl responded, her face masked by huge plastic star sunglasses and a beaming smile.

There were two other dance routines at this year’s talent show besides the St. John’s group, but vocalists dominated the events. Ten of the 13 performances featured young singers. They bellowed out everything from Jimmy Page’s “The Battle of Evermore,” made famous by Robert Plant and Sandy Dennis, to Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away.”

Eden Stahr McDonald, a Hula-Hooping teen, put on a unique dance performance, one good enough for first place in the senior division. McDonald’s hoop malfunctioned at one point, flying off the stage into an infant-carrying bystander, but all was well in the end.

Britain and Ryley opened the show with an a capella duet of Fun’s “Some Nights.”

“Why don’t we break the rules already?” the girls sang, alternating. “I

was never one to believe the hype. Save that for the black and white. I try twice as hard and I’m half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style.”

Isabella Gwilliam, a sixth-grader at Jackson Hole Middle School, stole the show with a performance of Alicia Key’s “Girl on Fire.” Gwilliam’s impressive vocals were too much for her competi-

tion, and she won first place in both the junior division and the overall category.

“Wowwwww!” Flo the Clown yelled as Gwilliam set down her microphone.

“Don’t we have some talent here!” the buck-toothed pink clown exclaimed. “It’s amazing, I just love it!”

Gwilliam, who won the talent show’s junior division at the 2012 Teton County

Fair, hopes to take her singing skills to a bigger stage.

“I want to be like Taylor Swift,” she said. “She’s very inspirational.”

Flo the Clown walked away from the 2013 talent show plenty impressed.

“I think they all did a tremendous job,” she said. “They keep getting better each year.”

Cattle call brings out 4-H showmanshipJONATHAN CROSBY / NEWS&GUIDE

Wyatt Christensen, 18, shows off his livestock Friday morning during the Senior Showmanship Beef Cattle competition.

Kids in contest display livestock they’ve spent nearly a year raising.

By Miller N. Resor

Ryder Marshall walked away with purple ribbons in both senior cat-egories of the 2013 Teton County

Fair’s 4-H Beef contest Friday morning.Marshall won the first Grand

Champion ribbon as a showman. Wearing a blue dress shirt and a

white cowboy hat, he paraded his steer, Mickey, around the showing arena to the north of the rodeo arena. With the other competitors in the senior division, Marshall and Mickey made one lap of the grass field before stopping in front of the grandstand.

Blake Nelson, a visiting judge from Warner, Okla., inspected each steer and spoke to its owner. Then all the contes-tants made another half lap and waited for Nelson to make his decision.

Nelson described how showmen and women should position their steers cor-rectly, with their feet correctly planted beneath them and their heads high in the air. He also emphasized how important the personal presentation of the handler

was. A showman should look profession-al and be able to control his steer while remaining relaxed and calm on the halter, he said.

Marshall’s second Grand Champion ribbon came in the Market Beef catego-ry, where the judge looked at the ratio of fat and muscle on each animal, as well as its build and weight.

Marshall, 17, who has participated in the 4-H beef program for 10 years, said he has had to feed Mickey “specific rations twice a day” since buying him last fall. Beginning in the spring he started to break the steer to the halter, exercising and training him. Toward the end of the year he started washing Mickey “all the time with expensive hair products.”

Later that day, Marshall sold the 1,281-pound Mickey for $7 a pound, for a total of $8,967.

Marshall said he has made a lot of

money in 4-H and traveled a lot. One time 4-H took him to Washington, D.C.

Kathy Flickinger, who has two daugh-ters in 4-H this year, said the program is good for kids.

“They learn responsibility, work ethic and the business end of raising meat,” she said. “They need to know about everything from selecting the animal to why it makes a good product. It helps keep agriculture alive and teaches a 9-year-old what it is all about.”

Gary Hardeman started with 4-H in Teton County when he was 9 years old. Forty-six years later he is still weigh-ing steers, helping in the show ring and working the auction’s beer tent, which pours cash into college scholarships for 4-H participants.

“It’s good for our community,” he said. “It brings families together. 4-H is all a family.”

Watermelons, doughnutscan’t stand up in a contestthat matches food againstdevourers of food.

By Josh Cooper

Nothing says “county fair” quite like a group of people stuffing as much food in their faces as fast as they possibly can.

That’s exactly what happened Thursday and Saturday when the annual doughnut- and watermelon-eating con-tests were held at the sheriff ’s booth.

About a dozen participants in each category threw dignity to the wind as they raced against fellow competitors to see whose capacity for consump-tion would reign supreme. Cries of “Go! Go! Go!” and “Faster! Faster!” could be heard from the crowd of spectators that gathered around the gallant group of gormandizing gastro-nomic gladiators.

Thursday at high noon, dough-nuts were the main event. Sheriff Jim Whalen, upon seeing one young man scarfing down doughnuts with aban-don, remarked, “There’s a future cop, right there.”

The winner, David Vynerib, was vacationing with his family from Connecticut when he stumbled upon the competition and decided to enter on a whim. He ate four doughnuts in the span of approximately two minutes. He said his secret was pretty simple.

“You’ve really got to drink water

between the doughnuts,” Vynerib said. “It makes them go down smoother.”

When asked about how he trained for such a show of edacious prowess, he was terse: “I didn’t,” he said.

On Saturday afternoon, esurient epi-cures unleashed their ravenous rapac-ity in a far juicier cibarious contest, that of the watermelon. After eating four hearty slices of watermelon in a few short minutes, Debbie Bearer, of Jackson, was declared the victor.

She said she went into the competi-tion without too much strategy.

“I didn’t think about it too much,” Bearer said. “You almost just have to eat it without chewing.”

The auction is a big day — and a sad one — for the4-H pig raisers.

By Mike Polhamus

Eight pigs burst into a circular pen Saturday morning. They romped, sniffing the ground and each other. Close behind, eight teenagers entered the ring. Many of them wore sequined shirts, some paisley. Some sported belt buckles larger than their hands.

Each teen found his or her pig and drove it around the pen, control-ling it with taps to the forelegs from a skinny, colored stick, displaying the beast to a judge who paced through the ring with a stu-dious air.

This is Swine Showmanship.

Pigs were a pop-ular entry at the Teton County Fair this year, far out-numbering the steers, chickens, lambs and rabbits.

“We raise pigs because that’s where the money’s at,” said Lexi Daugherty, 14, who with her younger sister entered pigs named Bullseye and Porkohontis.

Last year, Daugherty said, she sold her pig for more than $3,000. She bought the pig for $300 and invested another $300 in food that she and her sister mixed themselves.

Part of the secret to her success at raising swine, Daugherty said, was the time spent training and exercising them. Naturally, this creates tension at the time of sale.

“I almost like my pigs better than my dog,” she said. “When somebody buys them, you’re really happy because you made a bunch of money on them, but you’re sad because you know they have to get on a truck and go to the packing plant.”

This year Isabella Wilson showed the sixth pig of her 4-H career, a Durock named Salami. She expressed a similar feeling.

“It’s kind of hard, because you just spent all this time with them — it’s hard to let them go, but it’s a relief, because my sum-mer job is over,” she said. “I’m always sad — my little sister sat in the pen last year and bawled for an hour — but that is what we raise them for.”

After the Swine Showmanship event, in which pigs and their handlers were judged according to their deportment, com-petitors displayed their pigs again at the Market Hog event, where judges evaluated the pigs on their own merits. The next day they were sold at auction.

The stands encircling the ring were full.

One by one, competitors entered the ring and walked their animals around the perim-eter. Three men inside the ring scanned the crowd for signs of bidders and hollered when someone bid. In the background, in the huge exhibition hall’s shadows, cows mooed, pigs squealed, sheep bleated. Over it all was the auctioneer’s voice.

“Make it five and a quarter, now fifty — five-fifty, five-fifty — now five seventy-five? Six dollars even now!”

“Up!” yelled one of the spotters watch-ing for bids.

“Seven! Seven bid now seven twenty- five! Gimme twenty-five, gimme twenty-five, gimme seven-fifty — seven-fifty?”

After the auc-tioneer sold a few steers, lambs and then three chickens, Daugherty entered the ring with Bullseye. In con-trast to an agitated steer just moments earlier, Bullseye appeared uncon-cerned, snuffling in the fresh sawdust, licking his lips, smelling things, tak-ing directions easily

from the taps on either side. Bidding began.“Ten-fifty? Ten-fifty? Ten-fifty? Can I get

a ten-fifty? Sold! Ten twenty-five.”Weighing 261 pounds, Bullseye sold for

$10.25 per pound. Daugherty said she was putting the money into savings to help pay for college.

Swine are judged, sold— and fondly recalled

Dozens of 4-H kids enjoy classic,trashy contests.

By Michael Polhamus

Minutes after selling his prize pig for thousands of dollars Sunday morn-

ing, Alta resident Zane Dayton, 18, saw the Redneck Olympics were about to begin and signed up.

After some spirited compe-tition among the county’s 4-H members, Dayton walked away a satisfied man, having taken first place in the toilet-seat-throwing competition. Dayton said he’d never flung one before.

“I just happened to be walk-ing by and thought I’d join in as

well,” Dayton said, explaining how he found himself tossing toi-let seats. “I hadn’t practiced, but I watched the other team. Mine sort of skipped off the ground and jumped a little bit, and that’s how I won.”

The Redneck Olympics, start-ed in 2010 by former 4-H orga-nizer Josh Dieckmann, consist of a potato-sack race, a tug-of-war, a water balloon fight and the toilet seat throwing contest Dayton pre-vailed in.

Dayton said that he did not receive a trophy for his win but that the notoriety itself was more than enough.

“I was actually really happy that I did it,” Dayton said. “I’d do it again next year — I enjoyed it a lot. It was exciting.”

In a show of muscle, a tug-of-war team tries to yank its opponent down during Sunday morning’s Redneck Olympics.

Carter Watsabaugh, 9, tosses a toilet seat in one of the Redneck Olympics events. Zane Dayton, who won the toilet-seat-throwing competition, watched another team before taking his turn. “Mine sort of skipped off the ground and jumped a little bit, and that’s how I won,” he said.

Five-year-old Ashlyn Chamberland gives it her all in the potato-sack race. In addition to toilet-seat-throwing and tug-of-war, the events included a water-balloon fight. The Redneck Olympics were started in 2010.


Diaper Derby draws a wild crowdbut few racers.

By Richard Anderson and Griffen Anderson

You only get one chance at Teton County Fair Diaper Derby glory.

By the time a second oppor-tunity comes by, most healthy babes have moved on from crawl-ing, disqualifying them from the annual race beneath the big top.

This year’s four-legged race drew just five competitors Saturday morning. Flo the Clown officiated two heats of short-pants action. She explained the format and rules: One adult was needed to hold back each competitor at the start line while a second sat across the finish line to cheer

and coax. Flo encouraged the use of bait: “keys, a bottle, a piece of food.” In most cases the lure was a cellphone.

Contrary to the recommenda-tions of the International Institute for Diaper Derby Studies (a com-pletely made-up organization based in Zurich), all family teams in this year’s heats chose to put dad or grandpa at the finish line. This no doubt was a factor in the events that followed.

Race one pitted Crash against Georgia and Jayvan. At Flo’s com-mand, the mothers released their babies while at the far end of the 15-foot track the fathers (or grand-father in Georgia’s case) lured them down their lane.

Far from the thunderous start of a Kentucky Derby, this event started much slower. The racers mostly looked about at the spec-tators — a crowd of 30 or 40 that cheered enthusiastically. Mothers

nudged and progenitors grinned and teased with their electronic devices. Georgia’s grandpa whis-tled, as if calling for his schnauzer.

But after a few tense minutes, Crash lived up to his name and barreled down his lane to his proud papa.

After another couple of min-utes Georgia finally made a break, crawling the distance to Jayvan’s dad. Jayvan continued to sit in front of his mother, pondering the grass, appreciating the sound of the light rain on the tent roof.

“We’ve been training him

for months,” said Hayden Hilke, mother of Crash, whose real name is Noah Hilke; he was born on the day of the 2012 fair’s Figure 8 races. “He’s super com-petitive. … You’ve got to start them young here.”

Heat two had just two com-petitors — Alexandra and Grafton — but Flo allowed Jayvan to join.

The race got off to a faster start, with Alexandra cruising three-quarters of the way down her lane before stalling out. In a sud-den burst, Jayvan made his move, but he stopped about halfway

along. After a bit more cajoling, Alexandra covered the final yard leaving Jayvan in second.

“We start with two-a-days and Red Bull in the morn-ing,” Alexandra’s dad, Andrew Bullington, said. “Studies have shown that in this environment it’s crucial to start [training] early.”

On a more somber note, it’s sad to see a sport with such a proud tradition in decline. One wonders what we as a community and as a nation can do to ensure robust participation in future Teton County Fair Diaper Derbies.
