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

ed rain.
