“A True Icon of Meigs County and t
he Meigs County Fair”
The Sugar Run Mill which is located on Mulberry Avenue
in Pomeroy is being dismantled. The mill had been using
some of the same equipment it started with in 1840. The
mill was shut down in 2008. The main building, or center
part of the structure, operated on Leading Creek from 1840
until 1858, when it was dismantled in preparation for the
move to Pomeroy. As it was torn down every board was
numbered so that it could be reconstructed here. Then it was put on barges floated down Leading Creek to
the Ohio River, brought to the Pomeroy levee, loaded on wagons and moved here. Six timbers in the original part are over 80 feet long and measure eight by eight inches, extending from the bottom to the top of the
building. The original section has all hand-hewn planks and is put together with wooden pegs. The tin roof,
the 1-¼ inch solid maple flooring, and the siding are all original. While the main entrance is off Mulberry
Avenue, there are two stories below and another above along with a cubicle on top. Underneath the lower
level which fronts on Butternut Avenue, there is a loading dock with stalls used at one time for horse-drawn
wagons coming in to load up their feed. In 1910 and again in the 1930’ sections were added to the original
building on both the upper and lower sides to accommodate the growing business. When the mill was on
Leading Creek, everything was powered by water. When it was moved to Pomeroy, it was changed over to
operate by steam generated by natural gas, and then in the 1920’s electric motors were brought in to run the
machinery. In the heyday of grain business, the mill made 17 different kinds of flour including cake flour,
self-rising flour, regular flour and garlic flour, which was sold under the Silver Star and Moss Rose names.
In 1942, government restrictions and regulations forced the mill to cease the flour production. At one time
28 feed mills operated in Meigs County and now there are none. The Sugar Run Mill was the last to close.
As time moves on, we will never forget the Sugar Run Flour Mill, Danny Zirkle and Brent Zirkle for your
support of the Meigs County Fair throughout the years.

Charlene Hoeflich
POMEROY — “I fell into it and it became a real good place to be.” So said
Charlene Hoeflich of her career in the newspaper business. Hoeflich, who began
her career at the Athens Messenger’s now-defunct office in Pomeroy in 1957, continued on to be the cornerstone of The Daily Sentinel from 1967 until this past year, when she turned in her resignation.
Known for her relentless work ethic and presence in the community, the word “resignation” was no oversight because “retirement” just isn’t in Hoeflich’s vocabulary or plans.
“I hope to increase my volunteer service in the community… and sort through boxes,” Hoeflich said about
her immediate future.
Hoeflich came to Meigs County from Athens in 1957 when she married her late husband, Bob, who worked
at the Messenger’s Pomeroy office. Hoeflich, who was trained in social work, hoped to find a job as a case
worker but no work was to be found. She instead found herself working evenings alongside Bob, helping
with “society” copy and other news items.
In 1967, Ohio Valley Publishing Co. courted the Hoeflichs to The Daily Sentinel, and since that time, a
Hoeflich has sat in that office on Court Street, translating the stories of Meigs County. The Daily Sentinel
quickly became — and still is — the community’s newspaper with the Messenger pulling its office out of
the county.
It would be difficult to find a person in Meigs County who hasn’t had their photo taken by Charlene or seen
her at a festival taking notes and making conversation in downtown Pomeroy. Who hasn’t had their name
appear in Charlene’s “Community Corner” column over the years? Who didn’t have their name appear in
Bob’s column “Beat of the Bend?” The Hoeflich era helped define the tales of communities in Meigs
County because everyone has a story.
Reflecting back, Charlene says she always preferred to do the positive stories and features with a particular
interest in the history of the area. Anyone with a question about the way Meigs County used to be, or how it
currently is, could find out both by asking Charlene, which is a rare thing in this day of temporary Facebook
posts and transient lives.
The Meigs County Fair wishes to thank Charlene Hoeflich for all she has done for us over the years and she
will be truly missed. We look forward to seeing you at the 2015 Meigs County Fair as a fairgoer and relaxing under a shade tree.

Wednesday, August 19, 2015 at 8:00 pm
Granger Smith, aka Earl Dibbles, Jr., has been busy reinventing the face of traditional country music one charttopping single at a time. By consistently providing blended hits that are well outside the realm of “typical”, Granger’s
music provides a refreshing and unique variation on the growing independent country music scene.
Though he's been in the music business since he was a teenager, Granger doesn't always play by the rules, which
he finds gratifying. "When I knew I wanted to be a singer-songwriter for a living, I never set out to be totally grassroots,"
he explains. "Probably no one does. At that time, there was a system and most people followed that system. Write a
song, book a studio and musicians, play a showcase, get a record deal, get famous, request all green M&Ms."
And that next move never seems to be very far away. In 2013, Granger released his 9th studio album since he
hit the scene at age 19. The album "Dirt Road Driveway" debuted at #1 on the iTunes Country Chart and has proven to
be his most successful release to date, expanding his audience from a regional artist to a national touring act. Dirt Road
Driveway went on to become the number one selling independent country music album in total digital sales for 2013.
His game plan has been good to him so far. Granger has had 10 Top 10 singles on the Texas Music Charts including 4 Top 5's and the most recent singles “Miles and Mud Tires” and “Silverado Bench Seat” both landed at the #1
spot, the latter of which debuted on ESPN’s Sports Center. He's even successfully launched a crowd-pleasing alter-ego,
"country boy" Earl Dibbles Jr. The idea was born when Granger and his brother were having some fun with a camera on
their childhood ranch. "Earl represents at least half of my family, so it was easy to jump in my old truck, grab my shotgun
and slip right into character," Granger admits. They could never have imagined the viral success Dibbles has become,
with his own singles “The Country Boy Song” and "Country Boy Love" with music videos, TV shows on CMT and CBS Sports
Network, “YEE YEE” clothing lines and legions of fans all over the globe.
It's clear that Granger is both serious and playful when it comes to his craft; he's humble enough not to take himself too seriously, but dedicated enough not to let his name slip out of mind. "Whether it was good or bad, that reality
means the world to me," says of following his own path. "My team and I, we rise and fall together, but that rise feels so
inspiring when we know we've created this momentum from the ground up. Everyday I'm thankful, everyday I'm excited.
The world will always need new music and luckily, I can never get new music out of my head!"

Meigs County 4-H
4-H is the ultimate youth development experience and is what you make it. Through trips, activities, camps, projects, leadership roles, working in
teams and earning new levels of responsibility, youth learn the skills necessary to be successful in an ever changing world. Ohio 4-H is the youth
development portion of The Ohio State University Extension.
Why join 4-H?
Learn by Doing Projects …
More than 200 to choose from including rockets, electricity, cats, dogs, fishing, livestock, photography, bicycle, fitness and MORE!
Develop Life Skills …
Leadership, communication, responsibility, time management, and teamwork through club and community 4-H experiences.
Make Friends and Memories …
At 4-H Camp, clinics, workshops, trips to the Fair and in your 4-H CLUB!
Who can join 4-H?
Eligibility for 4-H cloverbud membership begins when a child is enrolled in kindergarten and is age 5 as of January 1 of the current year. These
members participate in group projects lead by volunteers and do not compete for awards – it is a great time to learn and have fun! Membership to
the 4-H club program begins when a child is enrolled in 3rd grade and is at least age 8 as of January 1 of the current year. These members complete their own projects based on what they want to learn and can compete at the county and state level. Ohio 4-H membership ends on
December 31 of the year that the member turns 19.
How does 4-H work?
The Meigs County OSU Extension Office works with screened, trained volunteers in order to conduct the 4-H program. 4-H Club Volunteers are
the heart of the 4-H program and they work with 4-H’ers on a small scale basis. If you would like more information about joining the ranks of the
awesome 4-H volunteers, please contact the Meigs County Extension Office at 740-992-6696 or visit our website at www.meigs.osu.edu
4-H Project Guidelines for Meigs County
General:
A member must be enrolled in 4-H and have project selected by April 1st.
Members may drop or add projects until June 1st. If a member adds
projects after April 1st it is his or her responsibility to ensure he or she
received needed materials.
At least one project must be completed to receive credit for a 4-H year.
This can be done either by completing project judging or a completion
from the member’s advisor.
To exhibit at the Jr. Fair and be eligible for premiums and fair
pass, a project must be judged and exhibited at the Jr. Fair.
A member must also be in good standing with the club and
have met the meeting and attendance requirements.
Youth must participate in the official judging week in July to be eligible for
awards or to be nominated to represent Meigs County in non-livestock
portion of the Ohio State Fair. Youth with Livestock, Horse, Small
Animal, and Dog projects must participate in Project Book Judging or
Small Animal/Dog project judging to be eligible for awards. Youth in
these areas must comply with State Fair requirements to participate at
that level.
Youth may attend make up judging/project book judging to be eligible to exhibit
at the county fair and to complete the project
Livestock and Horse Projects:
Members with livestock or horse projects are responsible to be in compliance with the Meigs County Agricultural Livestock and Horse Rules.
Copies are available on line, at the office, and will be distributed at
the mandatory Quality Assurance programs. This includes completing required Quality Assurance Training by June 1 st and complete
Project Book Judging in July.
Youth taking a Swine Breeding project will need to have a completed project book and an educational display. Swine breeding projects will
display the poster at the fair, not the hog.
Youth whose livestock project dies or for some other reason may not be
brought to the fair, may complete the project book judging and display an educational display about the project to receive credit for his
or her 4-H year.
Members wishing to exhibit at the Ohio State Fair must complete the proper entry paperwork by the June deadline. Members with a Horse
project wishing to go to State Fair, must qualify at a PAS show.
44
Still Projects (Food and Nutrition, Misc., and Clothing):
A project may only be taken once unless it is stated as a multiple year project in the book. If a member enrolls in a project but does not complete it he or she may enroll in it again. In general, one Grand Champion and one Reserve Champion will be selected from each project
area. Age and the number of entries in a project may be used to decide to split a class; for example, Scrap Booking is usually divided
into 2 classes by age. This will be done at the Extension Office’s
discretion.
In the case of multiple year projects, a new exhibit must be
created each year and new knowledge gained must be
demonstrated.
Projects are listed in the Family Guide as Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or All Ages. In most cases when selecting projects, the member’s age and experience in an area should be taken into consideration. We want members to get the best learning experience from their
projects. If what level of a project to take is in question, please see
the Educator so we can determine the best fit for that member. At the
State Fair competition, ages are used to determine what categories a
member may participate. These guidelines will be used when selecting a State Fair Nominee.
4-H Projects must be original work, a science fair project, for example,
could not also be entered as a 4-H project. A 4-H project may build
from work started in another area, but it must demonstrate new
knowledge gained and further work completed.
As much as possible project requirements will match with State Fair Requirements.
Small Animal and Dog Projects:
Projects guidelines will follow State Fair guidelines. Classes will be split into smaller categories by age if needed. Members may retake the same project in
small animals and dogs, but new knowledge and skills must be demonstrated each year. It is recommended that different animals be used from year to year
in the small animal categories.
Members wishing to participate in the State Fair must register by the June deadline. 4-Hers do not need to qualify at the local judging to go to State Fair, but
they must be enrolled in the project at the local level to go to the State Fair.
Specific Projects Requirements:
Project requirements, local judging requirements, and state judging requirements are distributed to every club and on line at www.meigs.osu.edu

FFA
Advisors: Jenna Meeks, Jennifer Dunn, Kevin Sheppard
FFA is a dynamic youth organization within agricultural education that prepares students for premier leadership, personal growth and
career success. The variety of activities offered by this organization leads students to over 300 career opportunities in the agricultural
science, food, fiber and natural resources industry. FFA was founded in 1928 as the Future Farmers of America; however the name was
changed to the National FFA Organization in 1988 to reflect the growing diversity of agriculture.
FFA is structured at the local, state and national levels. In Meigs County, this program is open to high school boys and girls enrolled in an agricultural education
course at either Meigs or Southern Local Schools. Presently there are over 150 members in the two FFA programs in Meigs County. FFA is part of a larger program
called agricultural education. Agricultural education works to prepare students for future careers through three integral components: Classroom/laboratory work,
FFA involvement and the supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program. Each member has an individual project related to a personal topic of interest. Projects
exhibited at fairs are the results of these learning activities.
Members of the organization are offered a variety of leadership opportunities through committee involvement, serving in officer roles and practicing parliamentary
procedure. They are involved in the community with fundraisers, service projects and agricultural awareness programs. Students may also explore career options
through business and industry tours, professional networking and by engaging in career development events
The FFA motto is:
Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve
FFA Project Rules:
1. Only 1 entry per person, per class.
2. All exhibits shall be correctly named and labeled.
3. All produce must be grown by the exhibitor.
4. In classes where there are 5 or more entries, the judge may award a grand or reserve champion.
5. Produce must be of proper maturity and good quality.

Entry Fee: $10.00 per team.
See General Rules at www.themeigscountyfair.com for further instructions
where applicable.
The value of draft animals depends upon their ability to pull and capacity to endure sustained efforts. The object of this test is to determine the sustained maximum pulling capacity of each pair. These tests will also afford valuable scientific data on the relation between form and function in draft animals and
should stimulate general interest in the breeding and use of good draft horses and
mules. In particular it is desired:
(a) To determine the value of type and proper breeding in the selection
of horses and mules intended for long and arduous draft work.
(b) To ascertain and demonstrate the proper method of training and
conditioning horses and mules for long and severe draft work.
(c) To encourage horsemanship in fitting horses and in driving.
(d) To demonstrate the maximum pulling capacity of the horses and
mules.
The committee shall have full jurisdiction over, as well as power to decide, all
questions arising in connection with the contest subject to the rules and administration as provided. They shall determine the winners and award prizes in accordance with the rules. Failure to comply promptly with the directions of the
committee shall result in immediate disqualification of a contestant. The decision
of the majority of the committee concerning any matter arising in connection with
the contest shall be final. Horses or driver may be disqualified at anytime by the
committee either for the violation of one or more of the conditions of the contest
or because the contesting team's condition is such as to render it cruel or inadvisable to permit the team to proceed further.
ELIGIBILITY: OPEN TO THE WORLD. Horses and mules, regardless of where owned, are eligible to enter this contest.
CONDITIONS- A stone boat loaded with cement blocks will be used.
Owners must furnish their own feed.
