For camivai/parade photos see page 3. Post office location sought By Galen C. McBride I Rappahannock News Staff Writer > In an interview last Friday, officials of the; U.S. Postal Service confirmed that a new Amissville Post Office is still being actively pur-1 sued. “Unfortunately,” said Richard S.; Thompson, USPS Northern Virginia District; Manager of Administrative Services, “our first choice location has fallen through, but we madei a commitment to the community to explore! every possibility. We are going out to look at' another property in the village area.” USPS Real Estate Specialist Clayton Redmond confirmed that “we are still working on finding a site.” When asked about reports' that developer Jim Epstein might be negotiating a post office for his planned neo-traditional yil-; lage at the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route; 229, Redmond firmly stated, “We are not doing' anything on Clevenger’s Comer.” Both USPS representatives expressed their', interest in resolving the real estate issues quick*; ly so that construction of the new post office can1 get underway. More information should be avail-* able within the next few weeks. ! Rumors circulated earlier this year that the’ USPS was considering locating a regional post office at Clevenger’s Comer. At that time a group of concerned citizens in the Amissville area contacted the USPS to see if a property could be found in Amissville that would be acceptable to the USPS. At that time there were six properties under consideration but as of last month only one of the original six landowners was still negotiating with the USPS. The others had either changed their mind or failed to come to a satisfactory agreement with the postal service.

W':»* % Shenandoah Park biologist at library By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer County residents were treated to what organizer Hunt Harris described as “one of the best programs we’ve ever offered” in the Blue Ridge to the Bay Series’ most recent offering held at the library. Shenandoah National Park fisheries and wildlife biologist Jim Atkinson presented a slide show of his team’s research into wildlife populations in the park. “There have been a rash of mountain lion sightings, including one highly credible sighting on U.S. 211,” said Atkinson. In their efforts to validate these reports, the three — Atkinson, Karen Hathaway, a biological sciences technician from Woodville, and Terry Waggener, a volunteer from the Town of Washington — made some excitina discoveries. Opening with a brief overview of the park’s fish monitoring program, Atkinson described the variety of species within the park’s waterways. He reported that there are healthy populations of more than 30 different kinds of fish, including eastern brook trout and American eels. He also noted that scientists recently identified a new species of darter in the park. Atkinson showed color slides of the neo-tropical birds, such as the thrushes, orioles, flycatchers, vireos, and warblers, that breed in the park and then migrate to South and Central America for the winter. He explained how “slash and bum” agriculture in the rainforests, gypsy moth and other insect damage to North American trees, and harshwinters in the Blue Ridge mountains have affected the bird DODulations. According to Atkinson, “The deforestation of Costa Rica, for example, has been of unprecedented magnitude." Some countries, such as Mexico, still manufacture and use DDT and other environmentally damaging pesticides, and Central American bird refuges are being increasingly encroached upon.

The commission had recommended the application by James T. Hawkins for a special use permit for a mobile home as a family apartment be approved. However, they had questions about the use of other mobile homes currently on the property. The BZA approved the application, pending Virginia Department of Health approval but stipulated that County Administrator John McCarthy must investigate the current use of the other mobile homes on the property which is located off Route 619. The couple had told the commission and the BZA that their other mobile homes are being used for farm storage. In addition the BZA said that the apartment would be limited to use by family members in perpetuity. rauicK ana ousan u&nea applied lor approval of a special use permit to operate a three room bed and breakfast from their existing residence off Ben Venue Road. A letter of approval signed by about 40 residents along the road saying they were in favor of the application was submitted. The BZA approved the application pending VDoH approval. Peter Kreyling applied for approval to construct an efficiency apartment above a horse bam at Sunnyside Farms, LLC, off Route 624. He asked that he be allowed the option of adding a deck onto the structure. Tne BZA approved the application and allowed him the option of building a deck saying they did not consider a deck as living space and therefore it was allowable. Gannon’s novel remarkable By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer Local author and retired journalist and editor James Gannon didn’t plan on spending three years writing “Irish Rebels, Confederate Tigers,” a history of the Sixth Louisiana Regiment in the Civil War. When he and his wife Joan moved to Rappahannock in 1994, he planned to write a historical novel about his great grandfather Patrick Cavanaugh and his brother Dennis. Instead he wrote a remarkable chronicle of a regiment composed mainly of first and second-generation Irish immigrants who fought for the Confederacy with fierceness, courage and fortitude. Gannon haa written the novel with the thoroughness he learned as a journalist. He knew from family letters that Patrick and Dennis came to New Orleans with the wave of Irish immigrants after the Potato Famine in the 1850s. Patrick went up river to Minnesota where he acquired 160 acres in a land grant, but Dennis stayed in New Orleans and signed up with the Confederate army. Gannon began asking questions. 8m GANNON, Page 5 Rappahannock News Start Phoio.Mary Beth Martin BOOK RELEASE: Author James P.

Rosemary and William Anderson appeared before the board with concerns over the former Anderson property which the county condemned and subsequently purchased. They have requested that several points be clarified: • The Andersons were contacted by VDOT before the county contacted them about selling their land and said no they did not want to sell. • They were forced to i sell the land to the county. • They are very concerned about safety issues which they believe will result from putting an industrial use facility . between the county’s two school zones. Specifically they are concerned about possible increased traffic and speed in the area. • They are concerned with possible problems of effluent run-off into the Covington River from the VDOT facility and the result should there be run off. • They say they should have been notified by and received a straight answer from the county regarding the use of the land.

Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Carl Ebom Musical a success Approximately 500 audience members (both deaf and hearing) watched with delight as 48 local children ages 5 to 13 (both deaf and hearing) acted and sang with voice and sign language on a stage bright with colors and lights. Live piano accompaniment was provided by accomplished pianist, Leslie Nichols. Performances of “Clowns, sponsored by Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, took {•lace on July 23 and July 25 at he Rappahannock County Elementary School. “Clowns” tvas a unique effort for several reasons. Funding from Headwaters and cooperation from Rappahannock County public Schools made bus transportation possible to and from rehearsals. This enabled children to participate who may not have been otherwise able. Summer school students were also able to take advantage of the busing provided by Headwaters, which was an added bonus. During tne evening periormance on July 25, there were many deaf audience members present. The performance interpreter, Theresa Light, requested that all audience members clap both audibly and visually by raising their hands as a gesture of “solidarity” among all participants. When a deaf actress in the musical, Emmy Lou Chute, Look her bow at the end of the ;performance, the audience was •a sea of waving hands to show their appreciation to Chute in her own language. Both deaf and hearing audience members present, indicated their Relight in the cross-cultural sensitivity that was present in the auditorium. ' Headwaters funding also made possible real clown costumes, make-up and props WINE visit our ne Cellar ;!2jj^311 Gay Street Washington, VA jS$l675 - 1690 which greatly enhanced the visual delight of the program and morale of all involved. The feeling of camaraderie and professionalism among the participants was quite evident in the performances. The idea of presenting a musical in sign language was first conceived by Light who wrote a proposal to Headwaters this oast winter. Headwaters eagerly supported this proposal and production which included Eva Short as the director, Joy Rollins as music director, Lori Short as production assistant, Light as project coordinator and sign language consultant/interpreter, and Leslie Nichols as piano accompanist. There were many volunteers who dedicated long hours to make “Clowns” a success. Some of these individuals are: Carol Lucking, Jennifer Witteborg Ann Liebel, Beatrice Burke, Holly Propst, Debra Flinchum, Madelyn Jones, Bonnie Price-Lofton, Linda Tbrrance. Other RCES employees also went above and beyond the call of duty: Helen Williams, David Alther, Lois Ames, Robin Frye, Chris Keyser, and Phyllis Poore. And the Rappahannock County Public School administration was responsive to the needs and requests made of them. Headwaters purpose is to “foster educational excellence by cultivating the cooperative spirit and resources of the whole community to benefit all students.” This mission was more than achieved through “Clowns.” Donations may be sent to Headwaters, Inc., P.O.

They are faster, easier to use and much more efficient.” Shaffer said the Fourth of July Book Sale “was a great success and netted about $2,400, which was up slightly from last year’s total.” He told the board that Diana Bird has met with the program committee to plan the upcoming Friday Night Program series and will provide him with a schedule as soon as the speakers are confirmed. The slide projector and the overhead projector for the Jamieson Room have arrived, he said.

Results of the winning entries are still being gathered and will appear in next week’s edition along with additional pictures of participants and events. The 4-H’ers who participated were excited about their achievements and enthusiastic about 4-H in general. But it was disturbing to see that participation was severely down from previous years. There were no poultry exhibits and no rabbit exhibits, although individuals did show rabbits in the pet cpntests. The number of participants in the homemaker’s category as well as beef, swine and sheep categories was noticeably down. Hopefully this will not become a trend and next year will see participation increase. The 4-H program is worthwhile and deserves support. That is especially true in an agricultural community like Rappahannock.

About 50 friends were present for the reception to extend best wishes to the Woodwards. Gail Timmons was crowned queen of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department’s carnival Friday evening. There was $1,100 dollars collected in the queen contest. Letters Limit speed to 35 mph in Woodville Nearly 30 local citizens gathered in the fellowship hall of the Woodville Baptist Church on July 14 to discuss Woodville traffic issues with Virginia Department of Transportation resident engineer Bob Moore and Stonewall-Hawthorne District supervisor Bob Anderson. At primary issue was the current legal speed limit of 45 mph. x ms mint is cuiiaiLitri t?u Uy the citizens to be too fast for the town. The citizens agree: near accidents occur frequently as the through traffic confronts local activity; it is unreasonably dangerous for adults and children alike to walk from door to door; peace is consistently disrupted; and lives are literally at risk. These concerns were cited in an official petition signed by over 160 citizens and submitted last November. It was noted that Woodville has more children living along the main street today than it has had in the memory of the town; that persons are not secure walking to church or to the stores; and that several accidents involving pedestrians have occurred in recent months. Common liberties of small town American such as strolls and bicycle riding are virtually out of the question at the present time. Woodville, established in 1798 and the second oldest town in the county, was built upon its main street (now U.S. 522). The doors of several homes and businesses are within feet of the road and there are no sidewalks. These concerns and the interest of our county and state leadership has given rise to a fully committed effort to regain and preserve the sense of safety on Woodville’s main street for our families and the future generations. Woodville neighbors became committed to bring about positive traffic change in the town of Woodville. Residents are well on their way to placing two welcome signs, nicely landscaped, at our expense; we are working with the state to secure historical markers; we will adopt outer stretches of the road and will keep them clean; and we will continue to urge the authorities to reduce and enforce the legal speed limit. Local authorities have begun to stand by us and we are grateful for the level of support we have received and look forward to their continued partnership with these regards. Anderson has been consistently involved. Delegate Jay Katzen has submitted written support and has vowed to stand with us to the end. Rappahannock Sheriff Gary Settle has responded with increased patrols of Woodville. Moore and the VDOT staff have actively engaged our concerns on several fronts: an official study of the traffic conditions has been launched to evaluate the traffic against Federal guidelines necessary to reduce the legal speed limit; a plan is being developed to add pedestrian walk areas along the road; plans are set to improve visibility to some driveways at risk; and, in immediate response to the town meeting, Moore has erected advisory signs indicating that pedestrians are in the area and that all traffic should slow to a limit 35 mph. Because its the safety of our families at risk, words can not express the deep gratitude we feel for these positive developments. And yet, while we are celebrating this positive momentum, the task remains incomplete. This is still the beginning phase. On behalf of the citizens present at the meet ing, I would like to extend l our sincere appreciation to • Mr. Moore and Mr. Anderson ! for taking the time to meet with us, to Delegate Katzen • for his support, and to Sheriff' Settle and his department. Ihe most important help we need is only available from our fellow citizens and itis to them that I wish to * address a closing plea: Friends, your neighbors in Woodville earnestly ask each of you: Please help us protect the lives of our families and help us regain the sense of safety in this, your sister community. Please, limit your driving speed to no more than 35 mph in Woodville. We sincerely thank you. Jeff Light, Woodville Issue of mobile homes not black and white I am reluctant to enter the current discussion about mobile homes as “family apartments,” because the issue comes in many shades of gray — not black and white. However, having personally worked in opposition to the current state policy during several sessions of the General Assembly, I feel compelled to express my viewpoint. First and foremost, the issue is not about “affordable housing.” We need “affordable housing” in Rappahannock County. “ManuJfactured housing” may well help to satisfy that need. “Mobile homes” may help to satisfy it — the question being how many , mobile homes in ; Rappahannock wants to tol; erate and under what circumstances. I am glad the t Rappahannock Planning , Commission is addressing ' this question, and I hope it ; can come up with an acceptable, workable answer. 1 gather some will hold that I am prejudiced against mobile homes. I respond simply by saying that I do not want to see Rappahannock County ever come to look like, say, the hills of eastern Tennessee — where trailers are tucked by the thousands into every nook and cranny, not “mobile” at all in most cases, but more properly described as decaying in situ. Two issues are core to the present discussion. First is what kind of housing is offered by mobile homes? Second is why did the General Assembly choose to dump mobile homes into rural areas? Yes, I know that the state law refers to “manufactured housing.” But this law started out as a bill directly challenging local authority to limit use of 8-foot-wide mobile homes as general housing stock, or to require that they be restricted to “trailer parks.” The mobile home industry was unable to sell that bill. However, over the years, the industry was clever enough to insert mobile homes into the “manufactured housing” classification — a broad spectrum if ever there was one — and then to use the more upscale manufactured housing as a lever to enact the current law. So the mobile home is a major issue. As best I can recall, “affordable housing” proponents never supported this legislation; it was entirely driven by the mobile home industry and members of the General Assembly with family, money, or ether direct connection to that industry. Indeed, one of the leading opponents of at least the early bill was an affordable housing advocate — an African-American serving on the board of supervisors of a central Virginia county who said he didn’t want anybody to get the idea that the general answer to rural housing needs was the mobile home. Many questions were raised about the suitability of mobile homes as housing, and as far as I know they all remain valid. For example, if mobile homes are so great as houses, why 1) do we tax them like cars, 2) does the buyer have to sign a liability disclaimer signifying knowledge that they bum fast and produce toxic gasses in the process, 3) do Florida and the Midwest call them “tornado bait”? The answer to the first question is that mobile homes do not meet national housing standards, and depreciate in value over time; answer the others yourself. _I_ lOUUV I1UO to do with “rural dumping.” The law says that manufactured housing must be treated like stick-built housing in rural zoning districts only. My argument to the General ‘ Assembly was that if mobile ' homes are such great residences, local governments should allow them in all residential zones. (Want truly affordable “high quality” housing in the central cities where it’s really needed, close to jobs, education, transit, not to mention fire stations? Simply convert area parking garages to multi-level mobile home condos.) But no way were the political managers of this new law going to open the doors to mobile homes in places like Fairfax, Harrisonburg, or Virginia Beach. Dump ‘em out in the boonies. 1 believe Rappahannock County is doing a great job of involving the citizenry in planning our future. We are developing “vision” and “mission” statements. Through this process, we have decided we are a “scenic county.” We seem headed toward a sewage treatment system in Washington that will not pollute the Rush River. Hopefully, we are about to assure that Sperryville will not become another Gatlinburg or West Yellowstone. I believe we can deal equally well with the mobile home/family apartment question; let us work on it with the planning commission and board of supervisors — and let us remember that it comes in shades of gray, not black and white. Robert T. Dennis Flint Hill Give her a chance The Rappahannock School Board is considering the termination of band director Cecil Scott. We support Ms. Scott, and we want her to stay. Ms. Scott was recently found guilty of three counts of petit larceny ($3, $5, $20). The evidence was largely circumstantial and this matter is pending appeal. She maintains that she only borrowed $3 for lunch money and fully intended to return it. We believe that she is guilty of nothing more than an error in judgment. i^ecil ocott is a good person of high morals and sound character. She has done wonderful things with the Rappahannock band program, and she’s volunteered countless hours outside the classroom in support of the band program. One of the most important i lessons we can teach our children is to have compassion ■ and to show kindness toward others. We ask the school board to demonstrate these qualities in the handling of • this matter. - Aside from the impact on Ms. Scott personally, we believe that her removal would adversely impact the ' future of the band program. The band program has experi- J enced explosive growth during Ms. Scott’s tenure, and it has * become a very vital element in « the lives of many of our young people. These students have succeeded under the direction of Cecil Scott, and to dismiss her now would be a slap in the face to the students, the parents and the citizens of Rappahannock County. We believe in Cecil Scott and ask you to give her a chance.

Gannon From Page 1 Why did they go to New Orleans? Why did Dennis become a confederate soldier? Why did he stay fighting the war? He discovered that cotton Ships returning from Liverpool, England, gave cheap passage to New Orleans and that led to a population of about 25,000 Irish immigrants there in 1860. While researching for his novel, he discovered that virtually nothing had been written about the Confederate Irish, although much was written about the Irish Brigade of the North where the Irish population was much larger. I he most difficult part was trying to find first person, original material from the men of this regiment. I was searching for letters, diaries, documents and newspaper articles at the time that would tell the story first-hand,” he said. He began at the Tulane University in New Orleans where he found letters, several diaries of the men and the original records of the regiment. The records told where the men were from, their occupations, biographical information and whether they were killed, wounded or captured. “It was like detective work. It was like a discovery, really kind of a thrill,” he said. The search led him to the Antietam National Battlefield, Gettysburg National Battlefield and the University of Michigan, as well as over much of the state of Virginia. He was having an especially difficult time finding information about the three colonels who commanded the regiment and were all killed in battle. After countless futile attempts he went to the University of Michigan where a large collection of Civil War papers had been acquired from a collector. There he came across a scrapbook from the family of Col. Isaac Gurdon Seymour, first commander of the Sixth Louisiana. In it was a clipping from a New Orleans newspaper written about 10 years after the Civil War. It was an account of the three colonels’ bravery that ended with: “Will the state of Louisiana let the days pass, and her dead heroes be forgotten, and the names and deeds left out of the history of the times that tried men’s souls? Let us hope that the historian will appear in time.” (jrannon said, When 1 read that I knew it was speaking directly to me. It seemed to be saying, ‘We’ve been waiting for 130 years for someone to write this.’ I felt I had to do this now. It’s a sense of duty almost.” Instead of fictionalizing the story he decided he wanted to write an account of the incred Perma Treat PEST AND TERMITE CONTROL Free Inspection Serving Rappahannock, for Over 30 Years Call 829-0000 Twrmr There’s No Place Like...

Writing the book was much like his work as a journalist. He was familiar with researching documents and piecing together a lot of information into big stories. “What’s different about it is that in newspaper work most of the time, you’re interviewing people, getting very current information. This was just the opposite. Everyone is dead. All the information has to be documentary, and it’s from another era so you have to look at it in the context of that era not the context of your era. It’s just a different world. You have to place yourself in that world, so I sort-of retreated into the 1860s for about three years in order to think in that time frame. I really enjoyed it. I got to like the 1860s, although it was a terrible decade in many ways.” ine doors cover was Gannon’s idea. It is from the center of a large painting “Night Assault” by Dale Gallon. It is a close-up of the Sixth Louisiana in an attack on Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863. The painting depicts a dramatic scene of the regiment attacking uphill in dusk. After the Louisiana troops captured the hill, reinforcements did not come and so the regiment was forced to fall back. He said he is pleased with the final production. “You don’t know what it’s going to look like when it’s finished. I think this book has attractive typography and the maps are good, accurate and detailed,” he added. It’s not a short book with 453 pages including a 69-page roster of the 1215 men who served in the regiment. Gannon grew up in Minneapolis, the son of a grain broker. His father wanted him to work in the grain business, also, but “that wasn’t for me,” he said. He loved writing and after graduating with a degree in journalism from Marquette University, he went to work as a writer for the Wall Street Journal. 1 went into newspaper work and loved it.” He added, “I love seeing history unfold and journalists get a chance to write the first draft of history.” He covered politics, and said “the first national political convention I ever covered was the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968, which erupted into bloody rioting, literally, and terrible bitterness. Of course it came right on the heels (of the assassination) of Martin Luther King in April and Bobby Kennedy (assassination) in June and this thing in July. Things were coming apart. And when I started writing the book, this parallel really started to (come out). The ‘60s were really bad decades in both centuries.” After raising six children, the Gannons are used to a busy life and plan on opening a bookstore/coffeehouse in the former Sperryville Church Mouse. The store will carry books about the Civil War. He also plans on resumihg work on his novel where he left off. Series From Page 1 wetlands, deforestation, and urban development along the coastal U.S. has also caused problems. “There have been population declines in a number of species,” he said. The neo-tropical birds enjoy optimal conditions in Shenandoah Park, Atkinson noted. Located on the spine of the north-south migratory corridor, the park protects the birds from exploitation and ensures long term habitat. Many of the neo-tropical species return year after year to either their same nest or verv close bv. The Park Service contracts with the California-based Institute for Bird Population for its monitoring system. Birds are captured, banded, and released in a continentwide network of monitoring stations. There are six stations in the park covering 55 miles of mountain range. For each of the past several years, nearly 1,500 birds have been caught and recorded. Atkinson stressed that “the more we learn about these birds, the more likely we are to head off problems. Without them, we will have the phenomenon called Silent Spring and lose a crucial part of insect control.” Atkinson’s six baited camera stations provided outstanding photographs of the park’s mammal populations. Set high in trees and baited at ground level with roadkilled deer provided by Rappahannock County VDOT personnel, the cameras were meant to help confirm the presence of mountain lions in the park. . The cameras were set on time-delayed flash and were triggered by passive infra-red heat and motion sensors. They were sensitive enough to detect birds as small as crows. Locations were picked according to where the cats had been reported. Though no mountain lions were captured on film, Atkinson’s cameras documented foraging and inter-species behavior of “tons of bobcats,” bears, raccoons, skunks, eagles, vultures, feral and free-roaming dogs, and the first coyotes found in the park. Atkinson suggested that at least some of the mountain lion sightings might be of former pets that had been released or escaped. “There is a breeder in Goochland County,” he said. “You can buy one if you want one.” He also said that the dark stripe down a bobcat’s back sometimes gives the illusion of a long tail, leading people to believe they have spotted a mountain lion. The cameras have been in place and operating since November 1997. The wildlife biologists have added visual and scent lures to their photographic arsenal, hoping to finally attract a big cat. The program will continue at least into the coming fall.

Trouble and anxiety seem to fade when we Find ourselves in the company of friends who lavish us with unconditional love and support. Such a loss is not so very different from losing a family member to death. This sentiment is captured by the words of Horace Walpole, "Old friends are the great blessing of one's later years - half a word conveys one's meaning. They have the memory of the same events and have the same mode of thinking...I am lamenting my other self. Half is gone...He is one to whom I ran with every scrap of news I heard." Our friends are our great wealth, yet for many of us, given today's mobile society, we don't have the privilege of having our friends always near us. It behooves us to stay in touch, no matter how far apart we might be, because the richness and comfort afforded by a good friend is truly like no other. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, you'll find the services you need as well as a courteous and professional staff. For answers to your questions, call us at 347-3431. “The friend who understands you, creates you. ” - Romain Rolland Jefferson Land & Realty (540) 948-5050 Internet Address: hap://Jefferson'land.com Farms • Land • Residential • Commercial £D Madison Countv New Listing!! 3 BR, 2.5 BA Split Level in Haywood.

File photo Fair grew from ‘humble beginnings’ By Joe Farruqoia Staff Writer hen folks turn out for the 46th Annual Page Valley Agricultural and Industrial Fair this year, they know they will be treated to quality entertainment each night in the grandstands, an exciting demolition derby contest, the thrill of mighty tractor pulls and, for the first time, the enormous ferocity of monster trucks. But many residents, particularly the under-30 generations, may not be aware of the fair’s humbler beginnings and that much of the activity they take for granted each year came into being gradually over a long period of time. The first Page Valley Agricultural and Industrial Fair was held for two days, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 7-8, 1953, according to an article in the Aug. 13, 1953 issue of the Page News and Cou erated annually from 1936 to 1952 primarily as a carnival, with a few livestock shows as a sidelight. They wanted something more: to be able to showcase their agricultural and livestock products in much the same way as was done at the Virginia State Fair. “That was a private fair that was run by one man for profit,” Shirley recalls of the earlier Page County Fair. “If had a hoochie-koochie show and that sort of £□ First president David Shirley recalls ‘hootchie kootchie’ shows ■?-***%& t'l - -■. :A-A.aJ ' . ■ >. thing. We wanted to get more of an agricultural feel and to make it more family-oriented.” When the older ricr. The fair was incorporated earlier that year as a non-profit organization with a board of directors, with David Shirley as its first president. Shirley and other young fanners in the county had become dissatisfied with the older Page County Fair, which had op tair s owner resisted the changes imirley and others suggested, they organized their own board of directors and the Page Valley Agricultural and Industrial Fair was bom.

$1,000 used to begin county fair Continued from page 9 “For the first two or three years, the fair was held on the grounds of Luray High School,” says Sam “Sporty” Griffith, owner of Hillside Motel near Luray. “It started out as just a handful of farmers who wanted to showcase their products, and I volunteered to help them out by putting up poles and things like that.” That “handful of farmers” grew rapidly to include business and industrial leaders, community leaders, church clubs and others who wanted to be a part of the new fair. “The farmers wanted to show off their crops and livestock, the ladies wanted to show off their preserves and the 4-H kids wanted to show off their animals,” Griffith recalls. The interest in the new fair and its concept was so great, in fact, that the Page News and Courier billed it as “just about the biggest event held in this section in a decade or more,” and reported that more than 10,000 people turned out for the two-day event. “It was the first joint enterprise of its kind between farmers of the county, industries and business men,” the article went on to say. The Luray Clothing Manufacturing Co. was purchased by the Blue Bell, Inc., which in turn became Wrangler. At one time the original company was a regular exhibitor at the county fair. Ftte photo We spent about $1,000 just getting started, brought in about $2,000 from fees and tickets, and after covering all of our expenses, we had $150 in profit left over,” Shirley recalls with a laugh. “We were off and running.” The older Page County Fair continued to operate for a few years at its fairgrounds, at the end of Hawksbill Street near its intersection with the U.S. Route 211 by-pass, but the owner eventually “gave up” because the Page Valley Fair was drawing more people, Shirley says. The first fair buildings were temporary sheds built on the “playground” of the high school, where the softball field now stands, with cattle bams for livestock on «- Continued next page C.

Lawrence Welk’s singer came to fair Continued from page 10 the hill behind the school. Admission was 50 cents. The Luray Lions Club, Boy Scouts and other civic groups sold concessions. The entertainment was of a “merry-go-round of little red wagons,” an appearance by the “world’s smallest man,” and a “hillbilly show” by Blain Smith and his Pioneer Boys. The second fair was a little bigger, with more entries and participants, and a parade that began on Mechanic Street, proceeded down Hawksbill Street to Main Street, then along Main Street to Broad Street and onto Amiss Avenue, then along Luray Avenue to the high school grounds. An extra day was added, Thursday, and a few new activities, including a greased pig competition, chicken races, a hog calling contest and a husband \ calling contest. Entertain- \ ment alternated between local \ high school bands from Luray, \ Stanley and Shenandoah in the afternoons and “a hillbilly band” \ each night. l \ That second year also saw a bit of excitement when, according to the Page News and Courier of Aug. 19, 1954, three black Angus cows “belonging to Mayor H.B. Dyche evidently didn’t like the idea of being put on exhibition at the Page Valley Fair this week. They broke the cattle racks on the truck transporting them to the grounds and took off for distant parts via Luray’s busy Main Street” The cows were later found hiding out in the back yards of local residents. Over the next three years, the fair kept expanding, as the number of entries increased, and as fairgoers made suggestions about special events and shows they wanted to see- A pony show that started in 1954 as a side event for children, for instance, had become a regular horse and pony show by 1957. And the fair board kept adding an extra day to the activities, so that by 1960, it began on a Monday and continued through Saturday. “We had figured, after all the time it took to put it on, that we should just go ahead and run it six days, and we kept stretching it out,” Shirley says. P^oto The county fair has gone from humbling beginnings with car shows like these to drawing big name entertainers such as country music star Neal McCoy. Entertainment changed gradually, too, from local bands to professional entertainers. The first stage for the fair, according to Shirley, was a makeshift one formed by backing two flatbed trucks against one another. The “stage” moved around from year to year, but was usually next to the cattle bam. It was quite a thrill when we attracted Lawrence Welk’s lead female singer for several years in a row,Griffith recalls. “We put the ‘stage’ right next to the livestock bams, but she didn’t seem to mind a bit having to play and sing next to the chickens and pigs.’’ “The entertainment has gotten a whole lot better than it was years ago,” says Darrell Judd, a longtime member of the fair board. “Back then we didn’t have the backup [acts] to depend on.” Griffith and Shirley agree, noting that one of the major accomplishments of the fair board has been its ability over the years to raise enough money to attract big name entertainers. Over the years, such famous names as Jim Ed Brown and Grandpa Jones have appeared at the fair. “I guess the biggest entertainers we’ve attracted were over the last two years, Neal McCoy and LeeAnn Rimes,” Shirley said. The fair’s popularity increased each year, so much so that more than 15,000 people came out in 1957, despite a stifling heat wave and drought situation that caused Page County to seek disaster re lief from the state and forced the Town of Luray to enact emergency water conservation measures. By the next year, 1958, the fanboard had saved enough money to buy a 20-acre tract of land off Marye Lane in East Luray, and the “temporary” cattle barns and other buildings that had become such a fixture at LHS were dismantled and moved to their present location, along with the construction of a couple of new permanent buildings. i “The 4-H had been so active in the fair each year that we reserved one of the new buildings just for their use,” Griffith said. By 1960, the fair’s attendance had doubled to between 20,000 and r 25,000 people. Over the next decade, the fair board added more buildings and a carnival and bought more acreage as the money became available. In 1973, the grandstand was built. It was during the 1970 and early 1980s that the demolition derby and tractor pulls were added, and crowds steadily increased to last year’s record of more than 35,000. But more than the tractor pulls, wrecked cars, carnival rides and entertainers, people come to the fair to meet one another. “Lots of people look forward to it each year because it’s a big social event,” Judd explains. “I’ve helped mow grass, sell tickets, sell concessions — but the thing I enjoy most is meeting people. There are people there that I don’t see at any other time from one year to the next.” Griffith agrees the fair is a social draw. “People come to the fair from Luray, Stanley, Shenandoah, Sperryville, Shenandoah County and all over,” he says. “It’s the ‘get-togetherness’ that means a lot to people around here.” Shirley adds, “A lot of folks look at it as a Homecoming, where they get to see people they haven’t seen since last year. And it’s a family-type atmosphere. It’s a clean fair and we’ve kept it a good wholesome place for families over the years.”‘Vf’

First county fair in (J.S. held in 1811 JA n merica’s first county fair was organized in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in 1811 by a entleman fanner named Elkanah Watson. Concerned that Americans were falling behind Europeans in farming and animal husbandry, Watson invited local farmers to compete for best livestock. Two years later, he encouraged women to contend in homespun in an effort to lessen their dependence on European products. While Watson was essentially concerned with the sober issue of agricultural edification, he also encouraged an atr of festivity, organizing parades and, even tually, pastoral balls. As county fairs sprang up across the United States, these annual events became larger, more entertainment oriented — and the social event of the rural year. Today less than 3 percent of Americans are directly engaged in farming. Yet county fairs endure as an occasion to celebrate our agrarian traditions, to honor family, inventiveness and hard work. More important, perhaps, they allow us, as communities, to come together and get to know one another.

One-week fair demands 1-year effort □ Volunteers work tiring hours for no pay ... and a big reward By Patrick Lynch Equestrian competition is one of the fair events that require physical agility and hours of practice. Photo by Norman Burzynski Shearing sheep is Just one of the many tasks for fair exhibitors. Start photo by R. Cort Kirkwood But the fair does go on, every year, thanks to people like Ralph Janes, who has been volunteering his help to the fair for 18 .years now. He is president of the fair association for the third time. Janes con Staff Writer t was early this summer, some time mid-June, when fliers appeared in shop windows advertising this year’s country music act for the county fair. It was also around this time that Lori Gochenour began her search for next year’s act. Gochenour, vice president and program chair of the Page Valley Agricultural and Industrial Fair, is just one volunteer who spends all year organizing one week in August. It takes a gamble, Gochenour said of booking an act. Her job is to find an affordable performer capable of creating excitement and providing a night of fun and music for fair attendees. Gochenour keeps an eye on certain performers beginning in early summer, contacts a number of potentials in September or October, and usually wraps up negotiations in January. The trick, she said, is to hire an affordable talent, popular at the time she begins negotiations, and capable of attracting a crowd one year later. Like all fair organizers and participants, Gochenour is not paid for her work. She is one of many volunteers proud of and devoted to the fair they spend all year improving and organizing. She does, of course, enjoy contributing to the fair, as do all who work to put it together. Indeed, if volunteers didn’t gain some gratification from their countless sacrificed hours, the Page Valley would have no fair at all. It is a yearround job. — Deb Jones, 4-H Extension Agent ____ File photo Baby beauty contests are an annual treat for fair audiences and moms alike. siders the job of organizing die fair to be never-ending. “There are always T’s uncrossed,” said Janes, who spends most of his volunteer time selling advertisements to support the fair program and, with others, maintaining the fairgrounds. “Somebody is out there every day of die year,” Janes said of keeping up with the fairgrounds. “Any one with a house understands that if you have eight or 10 buildings that get used three times a year, drey’re going to need some upkeep.” Janes said Clifton Campbell walks his dog through the fairgrounds nearly every day, keeping constant watch over the facilities and property. He has discovered several water leaks, overrun commodes, and unlocked gates, all of which would go unnoticed and cause problems if it weren’t for his year-round devotion of such volunteers. Simple troubleshooting is the least of Janes’ worries, though. He and others recently reconstructed parts of the grandstand, pouring concrete to convert eight catde stalls to hold swine, and have had a » Continued next page

Kids can say Tm proud’ about fair Continued from page 13 dandy of a time rerouting and repairing the faiigrounds telephone service, which has gone untouched in 20 years. Local fair organizers, however, are spared the task of acquainting most business and entertainment participants with the goings on of fair week. Most involved have been running the same concession stand, exhibiting similar shows or running the same competition for years. Come August, they simply dig in for a busy week. That is not to say members of 4-H throw together a craft or two and pick a cow from the pasture to show for competition. Those involved this year will begin work on next year’s fair the first week in September. “It is a year-round job,” said Deb Jones, the 4-H youth development extension agent. Jones said 4-H is unique because it provides youth a special opportunity to help organize and run the fair they also star in. Jones said the youth are given responsibility in organizing the 4H section of the fair. In past years, youth have begun the week after the fair evaluating that year’s fairbook, pinpointing and eliminating problems, praising and improving highlights. “It’s something where the kids can say, ‘It’s my county fair, and I’m proud of it,’” Jones said of the youths’ leadership role. The youth do not accomplish all this alone. Their parents are right behind them. And, at the fair, they are probably right next to them: judging competitions, making sure the grounds are clean and presentable, oiganizing and coordinating events. “It takes a lot of moms and dads,” Jones said. And, she added, pride. The fair requires more than tractor pulls and a beauty pageant to be an event. It needs devotion and pride, from all who are involved.

Atkins. wers of the Circle , W&w roPed in {$& By Jason Schultz Staff Writer orty years ago, the most popular event at the Page Valley Fair was a local rendition of the wild west. In the late 1950s and 1960s, the Circle 7 rodeo troupe lassoed fairgoers for miles around. The Circle 7 was a group of seven men, all bom and ^ bred in the; county, who M came together because of ■ their love of horses one ■ M day and decided to start a rodeo. “We just liked horses and had seen rodeos,” said Charles A. Atkins, one of the seven founding members. “We decided to try one of our own.” At first, rodeo riders didn’t have calves for their roping contests. “We started out roping goats because it was cheaper, Atkins said. Things picked up pretty fast, and rodeo fans • started showing up for the Circle 7’s weekly rodeo on U.S. Highway 211 East, where Brookside Restaurant stands today. Friends donated some money to help buy trophies and outfits, and finally the show grew big enough that one of the cowboys, Sam‘‘Sporty” Griffith, suggested the troupe take their act to the fair. It didn’t hurt the Circle 7 that Sporty was also a member of the Fair Association. “The fair association wanted us to take an active part in the fair,” Griffith said. “We built portable bleachers and fences and had one show a year down there.” The fair shows, which involved bull riding, • goat roping, bronco riding, barrel racing and other western games, were a huge success, according to Griffith. It became the most popular event at the fair each year. Atkins said some fans wanted to join the troupe. The cowboys made their rodeo look professional for the fair crowds. “We all had shirts «*■ Continued next page

The fair isn’t the same anymore, Atkins said, but there is still enough there to remind him of the days when the whole county watched him and six of his friends bring the Wild West to the Mr.%?

Fair fosters tradition, pride By Jason Schultz Staff Writer The Page Valley Agricultural and Industrial Fair gives the county more than just a convenient place to show cattle and eat good food. It helps the community maintain its identity by fostering traditions and pride in the community among the youth, and by giving everybody a place to interact and be good neighbors. “The fair brings out die home town feeling that you just can’t get anywhere else,” said Bob Drumheller, owner of McDonald’s and announcer for the fair’s tractor pull. It’s that Norman Rockwellesque feeling that Page County residents can walk around die fair and see old friends and catch up on old times that keeps people coming back year after year. Said Donald Liscomb, who has been coming to the fair since 1958 and started the Ruritan horse show, “Here you get to see people that you don’t see but once a year. That’s part of the enjoyment for me.” Ralph Janes, president of the Fair As sociation, estimated that more than 90 percent of the county residents come out at least one night to see the fair. Some fair volunteers take their family vacations during fair week to work concession booths. It is a carnival for everybody. That huge sampling of the community offers people a venue to showcase their crafts, their wares, and learn about each other. “It really brings out the cultural diversity that we have here in the county,” Drumheller said. “It’s such a draw. There’s something for everybody.” 1 ne iair also helps Page County preserve it’s rural character by involving youngsters in agriculture and livestock shows, which instills a sense of pride in their community and county, according to 4-H Youth Development Coordinator ’ Deb Jones. “The kids are a very major part of the Page Valley fair, and that makes them feel good. The kids and the family put a lot of work into their projects for the fair and that gives them pride. It’s their county fair.” Jones said the idea behind the children’s livestock exhibits, which the 4-H sponsors, is to teach kids “the whole idea of community service and giving something back. The kids really take a lot of pride in their exhibits. They put a lot of private dollars and effort into die fair.” Liscomb said he required all eight of his children to have an exhibit in the fair every year they were in high school. They learned much, he said, and quite often won. One of his daughters, Amy, won so many categories for horses the fair association board had to change the rules to limit the number of awards one person can win. “I’ve gained a lot of experience with the fair, and its helped me raise my children,” Liscomb said. “Fve always found the fair to be worthwhile, especially for children.” Endorsements like that are what make the countless hours of volunteer work Janes and other fair association members put in worthwhile. Janes says the fair is geared toward benefitting the community. All proceeds are reinvested into the next year’s fair. Concluded Janes, “it’s an exchange program. We’re providing a service to the community.” *^"**-~ iriih n ftim rW proto Sign here. -f ■s-gf County singers have been a staple of fair entertainment since its very beginnings.

□ Concessionaires bring hard work to the fair your dogs... your elephant ears... By Patrick Lynch Staff Writer COME AUG. 24, members of the Ruritan will fill their cinder block barbecue pit at the fairgrounds with charcoal, light a fire, and begin to serve chicken like they have at the fair for 30 years. “It’s something people look forward to when they think of the fair,” Ruritan Junior Miller says. The Ruritans’ chicken is one of many fair fixtures that for years have filled the air with the mouth-watering tastes and smells of a county fair. Yet feeding a fair is not so simple as throwing chicken on a backyard grill and tearing open a bag of Ruffles. Most concessionaires will tell you they don’t consider fair week a vacation. “Once I get in that booth, that’s about all I see of the fair,” Miller said of grilling chicken. Being a concessionaire is a job. Geraldine Good and volunteers from Leake’s Chapel begin preparations for the elephant ears fair-going kids and adults devour at 1 p.m. Good said a group of about seven meet in the church cafeteria each day of the fair to make dough for that night. Shopping list for the week: 100 pounds of flour, 100 pounds of sugar, two or three cases of vegetable oil, and many dashes of cinnamon. “It’s a lot of hard work,” Good said. A different group from the Chapel work the booth every night of the fair, keeping a tradition of more than two decades. The choir may knead and fry one night and the men’s fellowship the next. But its always the same routine. “With good help, we can get the dough made in a little over an hour,” Good said. The dough is refrigerated until about 4 File phoio Diane Williams of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority sells cokes at the fair. She Is one of the many nonprofit concessionaries who use the fair to raise funds for their good works. p.m. when those working the booth that night haul it to the fair grounds. They then warm oil in the fryers and let the dough rise in pans until it is kneadable. Then the routine begins: stretch and flatten the dough, throw it in the fryer, load up the sugar and cinnamon, make a sale and set back to it. “I don’t suppose we’d continue to do it if we didn’t enjoy it,” reasoned Good, who has seen this operation run from a tent, a school bus, and now a permanent elephant ear stand. For some exhibitors, the fair allows a week of showing off their passion. For the past two years, John Mrotek has hauled his collection of antique, Allis Chalmers tractors to the fair. Despite being a newcomer to the fairs exhibits, Mrotek has enjoyed being involved and anticipates coming back “as long as the fair and the community will have me.” he said. Mrotek will have to keep coming back for a long time to log as many years of fair experience as the Page Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. The auxiliary, said Katina Wakeman, has been serving ham sandwiches, hot dogs and hamburgers to the fair for more than 25 years. »* Continued next page

PMH will use 40 cases of french fries Continued from page 19 And in 25 years, fairgoers still have yet to satisfy their appetites. That’s why Wakeman will order 900 pounds of ham this year. Those who visit the auxiliary’s booth will dunk 40 cases of french fries into seven cases of ketchup, and spread 120 pounds of cheese over 400 pounds of hamburger. These numbers seem enough to merit a small kitchen staff, and they do. About 30 volunteers work the auxiliary booth each night. Wakeman said two shifts of 14 workers are needed, plus a few “floaters” who pitch in when the lines go around the comer. Wakeman, a former owner of the Brookside restaurant, and who enjoys her job organizing the auxiliary’s booth, probably speaks for all concessionaires. “One week a year is enough for me,” she said.

Fair is a gastronome’s delight □ DEEEUSH! Two kinds of food are featured at the fair: the eatin’ kind, and the lookin’ kind By Deloris Judy Staff writer FOOD! FOOD! AND MORE FOOD! i hat s what you usually see at county fairs, but it’s not always the eatm’ kind. At this year’s 46th annual event, hundreds of food items will be displayed only for judging, including garden grown tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, ana watermelon, as well as canned items, jams and jellies, fruits and pies and much, much more. In the baking and candy category, mixes are not allowed. All entries must be homemade from scratch. Baked goods range from cookies, banana bread, carrot cake, rolls, pies, fudge and the list goes on. Cora Frymyer, chair of the Ladies Exhibit Building, noted that baked goods are judged by their appearance and are tasted. But canned goods are judged only by their presentation. “Twenty-two judges are chosen from out of the county,” Mrs. Frymyer said. She recently completed a judging course at Lord Fairfax Community College which recommended that all items should be tasted, The varieties of food entered into contests at the fair are seemingly endless. For an idea of how much food the judges must judge, see the Premium List on page 32.

Rules for this year’s event, though, have not been changed. Frymyer, who usually judges at county fairs in Manassas, Front Royal and Woodstock, said she can always spot an entry made from a mix. “I can tell the difference,” she stated, referring to the texture of the item. Among the hundreds of items submit ted, some are quite unusual. A few of the more unusual items include seafoam candy, gooseberry jelly/preserves, watermelon pickles and tomato preserves. Seafoam candy is a sweet candy made from egg whites and sugar. Gooseberry jelly is made from fruit that grows wild in the woods and is larger than a average blueberry. Watermelon pickles are prepared from the green rinds of the melon. Tomato preserves, an old-time recipe, is not widely used. She also noted that food events draw a big number of participants. Ribbons and money are awarded to first, second and third place finishers. Her daughter, Mary Aleshirc, has been submitting foods for as long as she can remember, “ever since I could walk and talk,” Aleshire said. “It’s really big in my family.” During the weeks leading up to the fair, Aleshire said much food is wasted in preparing for this competition. “You put your whole heart into it,” she said. Aleshire is usually busy preparing different items and perfecting each recipe until she thinks it’s right. Participants may enter as many categories as they wish, but only one item may « Continued next page

Blue ribbon winners from the county may then go on to compete at the Virginia State Fair held in Richmond. The food you eat If looking at food isn’t your taste, then the fair is still the place to be. Just remembering the aroma of food brings fairgoers back year after year, and many Moms and Dads remember they were the ones with cotton candy sticking to their cheeks and fingers.. This year’s event will include hamburgers, hot dogs, country ham sandwiches, French fries, steak subs, Domino’s Pizza, chicken dinners, handdipped ice cream and elephant ears, not to mention the regular sno-cones, cotton candy, popcorn and candy apples. Numerous civic organizations and clubs sell these goodies to raise funds, including 4-H, Beta Sigma Phi, Shenandoah Fire Department, PMH Auxiliary, Stanley Li ons Club, Luray Fire Department, Ruritan Club, Luray High School Booster Club, and Leake’s Chapel Church. Whether your favorite is country ham sandwiches or hand-dipped ice cream, don’t forget to try a homemade elephant ear. If you have to wait in line, which usually is the case, be advised that it’s well worth the wait. “There’s something to eat at the fair for everybody,” said Ralph Janes, president of the Page Valley Fair Association.

□ In the wee, small hours of the morning ... ... Farm kids in 4-H and FFA are getting ready for the fair _. . Three youngsters talk about hard work and hope By John Harvey Staff Writer In April, Luray’s Zachary Judd grabbed a calendar and put a big circle around the date of August 27. That’s not the date Judd and his family would be taking their summer vacation, however, but the date he hopes to bring home a blue ribbon for the top sheep at this year’s Page County Agricultural and Industrial Fair. Zachary will be one of hundreds of 4H and Future Farmers of America members competiting in the county fair. These kids prepare the whole year for this event, working from sunrise to sundown getting their animals in prime condition for Staff photo by R. Coft Kirkwood Youngsters Involved in 4-H end Future Farmers of America spend many long hours preparing their livestock exhibits for the fair. me judges ai me iair. Zachary has been involved in exhibiting livestock at the fair j since he was 9 ft years old, and he " says it has taught him some impor- A tant lessons about ’ life. “It teaches you about hard work and dedication to your craft,' he said. Zachary has definitely learned about dedication. The 14-year-old will tumble out of bed at 7 a.m. every morning to feed the animals. As he walks into the pen, the sheep gather around him, knowing they will soon be fed. He loads the feeding troughs with grain, barley and hay. The older ewes rush to the feeding trough, nearly knocking Judd to the ground, to secure their spots. Zachary then carefully pulls the younger ewes aside to a separate pen where he can make sure they are fed. While the animals are eating, Zachary cleans up, removing the old hay that had been in the pen for a couple of days with a fresh layer. After all his chores are done, he heads off to schooL I* 1.. s ■>. Stafl photo by John Harvey Fair veteran Zachary Judd, 14, feeds his sheep. Since he was 9 years old, he has risen at 7 a.m. on many a morning trying to raise prize sheep for the Page Valley Fair. . When he returns from school, the tired Zachary goes straight to the feeding pen to start his routine over again, a routine strictly observed every day until the day of competition. The hard work has paid for Zachary. At last year’s fair, he came away with several awards for livestock exhibiting, including Junior Division winner in the Sheep Showmanship category. Renee Beahm, like Zachary, is a veteran of livestock competition. Beahm has been preparing the steer she plans to show this year since last September. Seventeen-year-old Renee has spent 90 minutes a day the past 10 months caring for the animal and getting it ready for the big day. Like Zachary, she wakes up bright and early each morning to make sure the steer has fresh food, plenty of water, and fresh hay. In the weeks leading up to the fair, the amount of time she spends with the animal will double. Jeremy Dorrough, 13, has been showing hogs at the fair for the past four years. He says the weeks leading up to the fair are the most important. “This is when you make sure the animal knows how to respond to you,” he said. “With hogs, not only do they have to have a certain look, but they also must be trained,” he said. Jeremy makes sure his hogs are taught how to react to the judges. “You want them to be under control when the judges are looking at them ... you want them to get no closer than 10 to 15 feet of the judges,” he said. Jeremy has been very successful in his endeavors so far. He was also a Junior division winner at last year’s fair. Choosing the perfect animal to show at the fair is not an exact science. “You want to pick the animal that has the best features,” Renee said. “You want to look for an animal with good structure and one that has more things the judges are looking for.” After endless hours of preparation, the youths are ready to show off their prize animals in one of two categories, “showmanship and market,” which is limited to only 4-H and FFA members, and “commercial,” which is open to anyone. During the showmanship phase, participants are judged on the looks of the » Continued next page

Kids play a big role in the Page Valley fair Continued from page 23 animal and how well die exhibitor controls the animal. The judges choose die best animal based on its appearance and the way it is presented “You must show die judges your ability to lead the animal around the ring and keep it under control,” Jeremy says. During the market phase, things can get a little hectic. In this phase the animal is brought into the ring and businesses and other fanners bid on the animal. Anyone can show their animals at the fair in the “commercial” category. Like the other categories, exhibitors take their animals into the ring for a viewing by the judges, who award ribbons to the winners of each category and also give the exhibitors feedback on their animals. “They tell the exhibitor what they liked about the animal and what they can do to make the animal better.” Jeremy says. But what do the judges look for? Zachary has been raising sheep for show since he was 9 years old,'so he knows exactly what the judges expect to see in a blue-ribbon animal. Citing his own example of sheep, he says, “the judges usually look for a long thick loin, which is the prize portion of the animal.” When selling the sheep, the amount of money bid for the animal fluctuates. “It all depends on who the buyer is. The average price is usually $4 per pound, although some years you get less,” he says. This is the part of the fair that can be nerve-racking to some exhibitors. “That is the hardest part for me,” Jeremy said. “The sale is the worst part for me, I really get nervous.” Still exhibitors enjoy the sale, even with the tension. “I like the sale,” Renee said. “As the bids continue to go up, I start to see dollar signs.” Livestock exhibits are among the events that bring people back to the fair each year, especially young ones. “The fair is very important to the people in this county,” said Darrell Hulver, manager of the Page Cooperative Farm Bureau. “It gives a place for local farmers to show off their livestock and the other things they have done over the course of a year.” Said Deb Jones, Extension 4-H agent for youth development, “The fair is something the kids can take pride in,” she said. “It’s something where they can say, it’s my county fair.’”c\?> syqea 3 uojprujsuoo# paieujaioo* P»U0P|80d# :jeo»Aj0sOuinoHOHP^«emOupwA8 t “ Creative designs” (n faesh and siQk faouiens fall aHH youft speclaQ occasions.
