Mifflin County Youth Show Fills Bams To Capacity GAIL STROCK Mifflin Co. Correspondent MIFFLIN (Mifflin Co.) —“It’s a problem I can live with,” said Mifflin County’s 4-H and youth development extension agent a few months before the Youth Fair. Jim Ladlee was seeing how the Youth Fair entries were shaping up, and when the 1993 Mifflin County Youth Fair got under way, Ladlees’ predicted problem rang true the bams were filled to ca pacity. The general trend over the past few years has been more of all animal projects. More kids with more projects meant changes in the “Green” building too. This marked the first year for nonparticipant judging in the building that houses non-live stock entries such as sewing, woodworking, vegetables, ceram ics, cake decorating, and more. “We all agree it’s better for par ticipants to talk to the judges,” said extension director Dave FU son. But, he said, kids were stand ing in line sometimes 45 minutes and many kids had several pro jects. “We designed a judging sheet with room for comments and the kids get those judging sheets.” Filson said non participant judg ing streamlined the whole process. While more entries and quicker judging time help make any fair successful, Filson was quick to credit all the volunteers who help towards success from kid sign ups to meals, displays, entering animals, helping in die showring, set-up. and tear-down you name it, Filson said. “If there were no volunteers, we wouldn't have a successful fair.” Filson enjoyed the fair as both extension director and parent and SAWDUST & SHAVINGS Pennsylvania’s Largest Sawmill Offers Hardwood Bi-Products At FACTORY DIRECT PRICES!
