We have been struggling to get our grounds in shape for our 2013 fair. So much for the bad news. We are, in fact, getting everything lined up and the entertainment is locked in. Along with this, we are finalizing plans to lift and place footings and a new floor in the octagon refreshment stand, then lower it and repaint it this fall. Why the fuss? This building is one of the oldest buildings in Arlington. It started out as a band shell in the park behind the Sibley Medical Center. As near as we can figure, the band shell was built on site in the late 1800s. Sometime in the early 1900s, it was hoisted up and moved to its present location. Here it served as a refreshment stand and judges’ stand for the old race track area in back of the present grandstand. In the 1940s, the new grandstand was built facing away from the old race track, thus the new track was born and the building was relegated to a refreshment stand. We hope to save this historic building for the next 100+ years and show visitors inside for the first time in many years by the 2014 fair. My personal favorite project is also taking shape for the 2014 fair. Our new Heritage Center is in the process of getting bid specs drawn up and financing lined up. What is a Heritage Center? This building will be 85 feet wide by 112 feet long with a stage, dressing rooms and space for around 40 commercial booths. It will be located east of the old school house adjacent to the carnival area. We intend to have family-based entertainment, educational programs, youth-based shows, and whatever other presentations we can line up. This will be one of the largest projects we have ever attempted and are up to having it done by early summer 2014. We are lining up $200,000 of financing and are interested in any type of donations you may be interested in giving. A third project we have for 2013 is new pens in our FFA building. We will have Thursday at 6:00 PM the draft horse people will put on their Farmers Horse Hitch Show. On Saturday the Sheriff’s Posse puts on its Annual Horse Show. New this year, on Sunday at 1 PM, we are proud to present for the very first time a Ranch Rodeo, these are amateur horsemen and women showing their skills performing various ranch jobs done for hundreds of years by real old fashioned cowboys. As usual these shows are free. Come on out set and watch, cheer the contestants, lean back and enjoy a day at the 2013 Sibley County Fair. pens that match the pens we have in the sheep and goats buildings. These improvements are made possible by $61,500 dollars from four grants we received this year. If we sound proud of our plans, you are correct. With all this building going on we have also lined up some great grandstand entertainment. New this year after many years we will present Professional AWF Wrestling on Friday, August 2nd. On August 1st we will have the return of Night Of Destruction. The name describes the evening very accurately. Saturday, August 3rd, Arlington Raceway Auto Racing makes its return by popular demand. On Wednesday night, July 31st, we will have a presentation of old time draft horse Farmers Horse Hitch demonstrations. These guys will show you what your ancestors went through to make a living in the past. We have additional teams this year and the guys are anxious to show you how well the teams work. In our horse arena east of the race track, we will be presenting shows each day.

What comes to mind when you think about the Sibley County Fair? Some might say the rides, the food, or the animals. But many will say 4H! Sibley County takes pride in its 4-H program, and is happy to showcase its 4Her’s hard work at the county fair. 4-H projects exhibited at the county fair range from several categories. Some of the most popular non-livestock projects include: photography, flower gardening, crafts and fine arts, wood shop, clothing, wildlife and biology, exploring animals, and much more. All of these great projects are displayed all fair long in the 4H building for the public to view. The projects with the highest rating from the judges have the opportunity to be displayed and judged at the state fair by the 4-Her who put endless effort into them. Not only do 4-Hers exhibit project boards, but the favorite project among the Sibley County 4-Hers are their livestock projects. The livestock projects exhibited require time, effort, and a lot of dedication by the 4-Hers and their families. The livestock exhibited by 4-Her’s at the Sibley County Fair include: dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, goats, horse, poultry, rabbits, and llamas. A different livestock show occurs every day of the fair allowing spectators the opportunity of seeing something new each day of the fair. What are the great qualities 4H has to offer and why are so many youth and volunteers involved in it? 4-H is a learn-by-doing program that allows youth to find activities they love and allows them to thrive in them. 4H also allows youth to develop great leadership, problem solving, and communication skills as well as lifelong friendships. If you or your family is interested in joining 4-H or becoming a 4-H volunteer, please contact the Sibley County Extension Office at 507-237-4100 or check out our website at www.extension.umn.edu/ county/sibley. Come and visit your local 4-Hers and all of their great projects at the Sibley County Fair Wednesday, July 31 – Sunday, August 4. See you at the fair! Page 9 WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN 4-H? 4-H serves youth in grades kindergarten through one year past high school from all backgrounds and interests. 4-H offers membership without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, or handicap. Those who are in kindergarten through grade 3 may participate through Cloverbuds. HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN 4-H? Join a local 4-H club — 4-H clubs are groups of youth who meet regularly to work on 4-H projects, perform community service, develop leadership skills and learn to work together. Guided by one or more adult volunteers, a club can be any size, from a small group of neighborhood kids to a large group from a school or county.

My answer is a standard we are happy to break even. The next question is how you keep the grounds up and maintenance of buildings. Here is the down and dirty answer to that question. As soon as the Fair ends we (the fair board) start to make the next year’s money. First, we clean all buildings and send out letters to past storage customers and new ones we have run across in the past year. In October the board meets on two to three weekends and park these units ranging from lawn mowers to RVs. campers, boats of all descriptions, as well as ski-doos. When we close the doors at the end, we have every building full to the rafters. Ca’ching enough money to shingle a building. In November I start writing grants. First on the list this year was a $7,400 County Fair Arts Access and Cultural Heritage Equal Share grant to repair the old judges stand, the octagon refreshment stand. We got lucky and received it. The work will start after this year’s fair. Ca’ching another building fixed Next, I turned to the County Fair Arts Access and Cultural Heritage Grant Competitive grant. We again got the grant for $50,000 to help build the estimated $250,000 future Sibley County Heritage center. This center will be the largest building on our grounds to be used to provide educational, as well as entertaining, events that have struggled for years to fit in on our refreshment stand stage. We plan to add many more types of stage presentations as well as house a new and larger commercial booth area around the outside of the new building. I know you all loved the old #21 with its blazing heat and evening sound effects when races and other grandstand events occurred. This Ca’ching is the first step, but we will need everyones support to complete it in time for the 2014 fair. A glutton for punishment, I applied for a Small Arts Project grant from the Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council. We received $2,020 to finance the children’s day and senior day entertainment. Ca’ching this grant has helped us to put on some great shows again this year. Next, we applied for an AgStar Grant to replace the old wooden pens in the Future Farmers Children’s animal petting building. This grant for $3,000 will replace all of the old pens. Ca’ching a much needed upgrade to a ever popular event. stand. This project will be completed later this fall. Ca’ching a 100-year-old building will look new again. Lastly, we ask businesses and private citizens to donate to our fair as sponsors or donate to individual projects. If this sounds like a lot of work, it is. Most of this work is done by 25 fair board members who are paid absolutely nothing for the honor of serving on the Sibley County Agriculture Association the 501c3 tax exempt organization that runs and have ran the fair for 144 years. We proudly invite everyone to come to our 144th annual fair. Not the largest but one of the best. While there, ask any of us for the tour of our grounds. Notice the pride we show without even knowing it when we talk about our fair yours and the boards. Thanks, see you at the fair!

The Jutz children have been involved with Sibley County 4-H for over 25 years. Former 4Hers Stacy, 27, and Josh, 25, are both employed at nearby Bode Dairy. While in 4-H, they were members of the Blazin’ West Stars club, which sister Johanna, a 2013 GFW graduate, belongs to. Johanna plans to attend St. Benedict’s College in St. Joseph this fall. Stacey is currently a county adult leader. While in 4-H, she showed dairy goats, poultry and pets. She also did photography and flower gardening. The family had a dairy herd until they lost their barn to fire. Josh showed dairy along with goats, poultry and other projects like photography, creative arts and wildlife/biology. Johanna shows dairy goats and pets. She also does clothing, fine arts, photography and flower gardening. She serves as club reporter, county 4-H ambassador and 4-H federation reporter. This past year has kept her busy fulfilling her duties as 201213 Gibbon Princess. The siblings have participated in Share the Fun and softball with their club. They also do ditch cleanup and visit the local nursing home, Southview Living. While there, they play bingo, sing Christmas carols and other activities with residents. The Jutzes have quite a number of goats, both Alpine and To g g e n b u r g breeds. Johanna plans to bring 12 to show in 4-H at the fair. They will also show many others in open class and lease many to another 4-H family. Fred and Ann are very involved with their family and 4-H. Fred is a former 4-Her and Ann has served as club leader. The girls agreed that county and state fair was their favorite part of 4-H while Josh enjoyed playing softball with the club. The Jutzes use their goat milk for drinking and feeding the ‘kids’ (baby goats). Some people make yogurt, cheese and soap with it. The family has contributed greatly to the rapid growth of the dairy goat project.
