20060624 KDDC Coverage of the Carroll County Fair

Coverage of the Carroll County Fair

July 24th, 2006 by Kevin Dayhoff

Whether you are new to the area or a Carroll County native of many generations, the Carroll County 4-H and FFA Fair is one of the highlights of the year.

A history of the Fair appeared in the Sunday edition of the Carroll Sun. Still going strong after a century of change” by Ellie Baublitz is great review of the history of the beginnings of the Fair, that I sure wish that I had written.

This year as in the last several years, some of the best coverage can be found in the Carroll County Times.

Be sure to check out the several articles in the Sunday, July 23rd, 2006 edition.

As usual, staff reporter Carrie Knauer does a great job with bringing to the readers attention that the Fair is coming and what goes into the making of the Fair.

If you have any questions, check out: “Notes from the Carroll County 4-H & FFA Fair,” a Fair blog by Ms. Knauer. There you can type in questions – and get answers. Click here to access the blog.

And oh, someone please get whoever took the latest picture of Ms. Knauer to take another picture of Jamie Kelly. See my previous post on this matter – here: “20060622 KDDC A picture suggestion for Jamie Kelly.”

The Carroll County Times does not use permalinks, so go to the following articles as soon as possible to check Ms. Knauer’s stories from the Sunday Carroll County Times: “Fair's events appeal to city folk, too,” and “NEW COMPETITIONS, events REFLECT PAST, PRESENT,” and “Tricked out tractor: Harney youth takes part in new mechanical arts competition.”

In the last hyperlink referring you to the “Tricked out tractor…,” there is a great photo by Kyle Nosal, “Kevin Ridinger, 16, stands on his restored 1941 Farmall H tractor, right, and an original, unrestored 1940/50's Farmall H tractor outside of his home Wednesday afternoon.”

Then again, the Times has a history and tradition of excellent photographers and great use of photos in the paper.

It will be interesting to see what the paper does with the newly introduced use of video with the Fair. The possibilities are endless.

As the Fair approaches and gets into full gear, be sure to follow Ms. Knauer’s coverage.
