Food is always a fair staple

One of the great things about going to
the Scioto County Fair is that no matter
what time of day you attend you don’t
have to eat before you arrive because
there is a wide variety of food being
sold on the fairgrounds.
“It’s the same food that it has always
been,” David Adkins, secretary/treasurer
and manager of the Scioto County Fair,
said. “There are four booths that are still
operated by local churches. One of those
has expanded and will be offering a
cafeteria line approach as opposed to the
waiter and waitress approach they have
Page

used in the past.”
Adkins said there seems to be a
couple of food items that have been the
most popular over the years.
“Three of the churches will offer
chicken and noodles,” Adkins said.
“Christ Sanctuary does the barbecued
Oh. Lic. #26659
chicken that Valley United Methodist
did for years.”
In addition to those home-cooked
meals, there will always be the staple
fair food items.
“There will be the full range of fair
food - hamburgers, hot dogs, funnel
cakes, elephant ears, snow cones,”
Adkins said. “All of that stuff will be
available by concessionaires on the
midway.”
Adkins said the fair board is
expecting something extra special this
year.
“We do expect the lady who was here
a number of years ago with her Chinese
food to return this year,” Adkins said.
“She’s scheduled to come back and be
with us.”
Adkins said variety is the key to food
choices at the fair again in 2015.

Getting the most bang for your buck
By Wayne Allen
[email protected]
The 2015 Scioto County Fair is scheduled for
Aug. 10-15, with general admission to the fair $8.
Fair organizers encourage area residents to take
advantage of what you receive with admission.
Robert Seaman, president of the Scioto county Fair
Board, said this year’s schedule is jammed full of
activities for anyone and everyone.
“We are bringing some local musical groups in.
They will play though out the day on the south end
of the fairgrounds. We’re always looking for ways
to; bring some of our local talent in. We started
that a couple of years ago,” Seaman said.
A complete listing and schedule of local
entertainment appearing at the fair can be found at
www.sciotocountyfair.org.
Seaman said in recent years they started offering
shuttle services to the parking lots, for those that
may need assistance.
“This is for folks to have easier access, to get
back and forth from the parking lots. We plan on
continuing to offer those shuttles,” Seaman said.
Seaman said this year’s entertainment has a lot to
offer the community.
“I’m a big fan of the circus and that always gets a
lot of children involved,” Seaman said.
On Monday, Aug. 10, the entertainment will be
the Motorcross Championship Series. Tuesday,
Aug. 11, will feature The Willis Clan, Wednesday,
Aug. 12, will feature The Swon Brothers, and
Thursday, Aug. 13, will feature the Circus
Continental.
On Friday, Aug. 14, the group Lonestar will
perform and Saturday, Aug. 15, will feature a
Demolition Derby.
“I think we’ve got some young talent this year
and I’m really interested to see how it goes and
what kind of a crowd they bring in,” Seaman said.
Seaman said some of the things he’s looking
forward to during the fair include, hopes for no
rain.
“It’s been raining throughout the month of July,
so maybe in August we will not get any rain and
we’ll have a nice fair,” Seaman said.
Seaman said he’s also looking forward to seeing
people at the fair.
Included in admission are all grandstand shows
and events as well as most rides. According to
www.sciotocountyfair.org, Active Duty Armed
Services Members are admitted free with official
identification. Friday, Aug. 14 is Senior Citizens Day
at the fair; those 60 and older will be admitted for $2.
Lots to see and do at the Scioto County Fair.
“For our admission price, there are so many
things to do. A lot of folks like to come out and get
something to eat at lunch time. Some folks will check
out all the vendors we have and see what kind of
information they can pickup,” Seaman said. “This is
exciting for the community. We get a good turnout
locally and we also have a lot of folks that come in
from out of town. You’ll see people from all over, who
really enjoy coming back to our fair.”
He said if you compare the price of admission to
other fairs, the entertainment or rides might not be

included.
“We try to keep it as simple as we can and try
to keep costs down. It is an expensive thing to put
together, but we feel like it’s a fair price for a fun day
of entertainment,” Seaman said.

County readies for fair entertainment
[email protected]
While the fair draws in a wide variety of people
to eat the fried foods, jump onto the thrilling rides,
and to see if they can win their sweetheart a stuffed
animal, most of these people all stick around for the
entertainment.
This year’s entertainment encompasses everything
from local musicians and high school marching bands
to up-and-coming artists and circus stunts. There
are also sports with engines, such as motocross and
various derbies.
The schedule of grandstand entrainment events are
as follows:
Monday, Aug. 10 will feature motocross at 8 p.m.
Tuesday, Aug. 11 will feature the Willis Clan,
a family of musicians known for their hit new
television show, at 8 p.m. The Willis Clan is one
of the groups that the Scioto County Fair Board
is really excited about bringing to the county
and President Robert Seaman claims the group is
relevant to today.
“Since the Willis Clan is on television with their
new show, I feel like they will be very relevant and
well received,” Seaman said.
The Willis Clan is described as a family of
musicians, dancers, athletes, writers, and artists.
According to the group’s website, “They merge their
Irish roots with other music and dance genres to
create a unique blend of the old and new.” The Willis
Clan has won regional and national dance titles and
placed in world competitions for both music and
dance as well as having competed on Americas Got
Talent.
Wednesday, Aug. 12 will feature the Swon
Brothers, who are known for their appearances on

the hit NBC show, “The Voice,” at 8 p.m.
The Swon Brothers reached third place in season
four of “The Voice,” under the coaching of country
music star Blake Shelton. The brothers even claimed
that a friendship has been formed with Shelton,
who has helped them “learn the ins and outs of the
business.” The two are heavily accomplished, having
gone on many tours, including one with Brad Paisley.
They have also received various award nominations,
and more.
Thursday, Aug. 13 will feature the annual guest
Circus Continental at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
“The circus is always a pretty big deal and I think
it is my favorite,” Seaman said. “I’m all about the
circus, because it is family oriented and we put on
two shows to allow everyone the chance to visit,
because everyone seems to enjoy it. It is just a great
time all the way around and it always has been.”
Friday, Aug. 14 will feature the country music
group Lone Star at 8 p.m.
Lone Star is the biggest names to hit the stage
this year, having years of experience in the music
industry.
According to the band’s website, “Lone Star is
known for merging their country roots with strong
melodies and rich vocals. Lonestar has amassed
RIAA-certified sales in excess of ten million album
units since their national launch in 1995 and
achieved ten #1 country hits including No News,
Come Crying To Me, and their crossover smash
Amazed (which was also #1 on the Billboard Hot
100, the first record since 1983’s Islands in the
Stream to top both charts).”
The hit band also has two major awards under
their name, including the 1999 ACM Single of the
Year and the 2001 CMA Vocal Group of the Year.
Saturday, Aug. 15 wraps up the festivities by
Good Luck
4-H
Members
featuring the annual demolition derby, which is set to
start at 5 p.m.
“With acts continuing to grow, it just seems
entertainment gets more and more expensive each
year,” Seaman said. “I think we have a pretty good
lineup this year.”
The fair’s website said that all show times for the
grandstand performances are approximate.
There will also be local talent performing at the
entrance of the south gate.
“We like try to bring some local folks in and
give them a chance to be heard and also provide
entertainment for the guests,” Seaman said. “This
also goes along with the marching bands.”

Fair spotlights
on area 4-H
Churches provide food and fellowship
By Jo Williams
LUCASVILLE — Church booths,
fully-loaded with delicious foods
from juicy burgers, to tantalizing
chicken are an intrinsic part of
the Scioto County Fair. Apostolic
Gospel Church in Portsmouth,
Emmanuel United Methodist
Church in Lucasville, Christ’s
Sanctuary Church in Sciotoville, and
Cornerstone United Methodist in
Portsmouth, have all operated fair
booths for number of years.
Robert Coffey, Jr. pastor of
Apostolic Gospel Church in
Portsmouth, said their church has
hosted a booth at the Scioto County
Fair for about 16 years, and they
enjoy doing so.
“We bought the booth about 15 or
16 years ago from, what was at the
time, Blue Run United Methodist
Church, so we just took over it, and
having been taking part ever since,”
Coffey said.
Coffey said all of the meals that
they sell are homemade, and entails
much preparation before ever
reaching the fair booth.
“All of our meals are homemade.
We spend a whole Saturday making
the meals in our fellowship gym.
People don’t realize that it takes so
much more than just setting up at
the fair. There is a lot of preparation
that goes in before that,” he said.
“We serve chicken noodle dinners,
and the other half of our table we do
burgers and hot dogs and barbecued
beef and fish sandwiches, and french
fries, and things such as this.”
Proceeds from the booth typically
goes to the ministries of the church.
“Part of the money we put toward
our youth, and ladies ministries,”
he said. “We use the funds towards
special projects that may be going on
at the church, such as upkeep, and
something in which we typically we
just don’t have the money to do. So,
basically it is to help the church, and
to help to meet some needs in the
community.”
Extension Educator 4-H Youth Development
Fair week is almost here!
For those youth who participate in the
more than 50 4-H community clubs in Scioto
County, the fair is the culmination of months
of hard work and preparation.
Youth in the 4-H Program not only take
and exhibit livestock projects, but also
increase their knowledge and skills in a myriad of other subjects. There are more than
200 projects that 4-H’ers may take.
Additionally, 4-H members learn life skills
that help them develop into competent,
caring and contributing adults. The unique
thing about 4-H is that many times youth
don’t realize they are improving their skillset
until years later.
Although many people think the 4-H
members learn how to raise an animal,
there is much more involved in the process.
The youth learn to be responsible, to keep
good records, and to be organized. The also
improve their public speaking and interview
skills. They learn to work together, and they
also learn to give back to their communities.
A study done by Tufts University showed
that youth involved in positive youth
development(4-H) predicts both and increase
in community contributions and lessened
likelihood of risk/problem behaviors. For
example, involvement in Grade 5 predicted
higher youth contributions and lower risk
behaviors and depression at Grade 6.
All of this is made possible through the
hard work of more than 200 trained volunteers in Scioto County. Those volunteers
help teach and guide the young people
through their projects.
So, as you walk through the barns and
4-H Building at the Fair, when you see all
the kids and adults having fun, take time to
appreciate all the hard work that has gone
into their projects. They have put hours of
work into the projects and hours of service
into the community.
Remember that 4-H is more than a paycheck that these kids get for selling an animal at the fair. It is about learning, making
memories and giving back to the community.
See you at the Scioto County Fair!

during the 2014 Scioto County Fair
“Our goal is not just to sell
food and make money, but we
also consider ourselves out there
doing ministry, and reaching the
community. We try to befriend
people, and somehow through
that, maybe someone will come to
Christ,” Coffey said. “It also helps
the members of our church, we have
a lot of fun serving and working
together, and we look forward to it
each year.”
Doug Shugert, youth Pastor and
member of Cornerstone UMC, said
they have a wide range of volunteers
to govern their fair booth.
“We have third graders up to
senior citizens that usually help at
the fair,” Shugert said. “Typically,
we have about 150 volunteers all
together. We do four different shifts,
and the youth usually cover the
fourth shift. We offer hamburgers,
chicken, french fries, meat loaf,
beans and corn bread and some more
items.”
He said he and the volunteers from
Cornerstone really look forward to
working the booth each year.
“This is something that we always
look forward to, and can actually
be a lot of fun. In the past we used
some of the funds to go toward the
pay-off of our new building,” Shugert
said. “Other church projects that
we’ve used the money we raised
from the fair is the new bell tower,
and the new youth room in the
church. At this time, we do not have
a specific project marked for the
funds.”
Members of Christ’s Sanctuary
Church and Emmanuel United
Methodist Church were not available
to speak with The Portsmouth Daily
Times at the time of the interview.

2015 Scioto County 2015 Pre-Fair show results
Junior Fair
By Josi Brodt
4-H Program Coordinator
Information about the Scioto County Junior Fair can be found on
both scioto.osu.edu under 4-H Calendars, on the Fair Website at
sciotocountyfair.org or feel free to contact the Ohio State University
Extension office at 740-354-7879.
Stroll through the 4-H Building to see the county’s 4-H club booths
that showcase the projects from youth who exhibited during 4-H prefair judging. These projects could be anything from a pet rabbit to
scrapbooking, cooking, sewing, archery and more. Those youth must
be judged prior to our county fair to qualify and exhibit at the Ohio
State Fair.
All of the livestock shows will be posted outside the Junior Fair
office and by the ring in the middle of the barn. These youth work
with these animals anywhere from six months prior to over a year
before the fair taking care of them. It is great to be able to see that
come together in the ring.
Thursday immediately following the Small Animal Sale will be the
Barnyard Olympics, which is organized by a great group of volunteers.
Friday evening is full of awards and intense showmanship! The
top showman from each specie will compete in the ring for the title
of Showman of Showmen. Each participant must show an animal of
each specie then these scores are added together to present the overall
award. The 4-H Program also recognizes 4-H Career Achievement
Awards, which go to those senior 4-H’ers who have participated for
13 or 14 years, and the herdsman awards for each specie.
Saturday is the large animal sale! Those youth who exhibited a
market livestock project complete their hard work of producing a
quality animal by selling during the Junior Fair Livestock Auction.
The Scioto County Junior Fair Livestock Sale will be held on Saturday,
August 15, 2015. It will begin at 10 a.m. at the Scioto County
Fairgrounds in Lucasville. The order of sale will be steer, goats, swine
and lambs.
