Logan
County recently had several 4-H members
participate in the Illinois 4-H Dairy
Judging Contest at University of
Illinois in June. In individual judging,
Todd Irwin came in first place for dairy and
Dawn Irwin placed 10th out of 35
contestants.
The county
dairy judging team consisting of Todd Irwin,
Dawn Irwin and Sarah Irwin placed third out
of 15 teams at this state event.
To learn
more about dairy or livestock judging
opportunities or how to get involved in the
4-H program, contact the Logan County 4-H
office at 732-8289.
The
Illinois Young Rodeo state finals
will be Aug. 7 and 8 at the Rawlings Arena
in Delavan. Young riders, kindergarten
through 8, will be competing. Admission is
free. Take Interstate 155, Exit 15, turn
left, and it's the first building on the
left (watch for signs).
As
the 2010 Illinois State Fair rapidly
approaches, so does the deadline to enter
the Dog Photo Contest, Baby Photo Contest
and talent competition.
The
deadline for each competition is Aug. 1.
Entry forms for the contests are available
in the Special Events Office, located in the
Emmerson Building on the Illinois State
Fairgrounds. Fairgoers wanting to enter the
Dog Photo Contest or Baby Photo Contest will
need to send in a 5-by-7-inch photo, in
color and attached to a 7-by-9-inch white
poster board. Dog photos must be taken
within the last six months and will be
judged in either the Cutest Dog or Craziest
Dog Costume categories, but not both. Only
one entry per category per dog is allowed,
and judging will be based on personality and
appeal. All baby photos, along with the
winner ribbons, will be on display in the
Kids Korner (south of the Emmerson Building)
during the fair.
