Staff Report We’re getting our cameras ready for the 171st Annual Lorain County Fair! Each year, our reporters dedicate the week to covering our area’s biggest festival and celebrating our agricultural roots. That includes all the effort put in by local 4-H members, farmers, equestrians, pie-makers, artists, and musicians at the fairgrounds. In today’s issue, you’ll find a full schedule of events, a fairgrounds map, a spotlight on the incredible entertainment coming to the grandstand, and plenty of photos from the amazing 2015 fair. We can’t wait to hit the gates for even more pics and we hope to see you there! We’ll be keeping eyes peeled for Amherst, Firelands, Oberlin, Wellington, and Black River exhibitors from our papers’ coverage area, so feel free to flag us down and show off your projects! Say hello, pose for a picture, and give us the inside scoop on which vendor has the best Italian sausage. Keep up with all the fun online. We’ll be posting a wealth of fair photos and fun to our websites and Facebook pages. Be sure to visit them regularly to enjoy the sights and sounds right from your phone, tablet, or computer. The fair gates officially open at 8 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 22 and will close the evening of Sunday, Aug. 28 after commercial exhibits are released. Single admission tickets at the gate are $5 for adults and free for children eight and under. Credit cards are accepted at gates 1, 3, 4, and 6. DID YOU KNOW? The Lorain County Fair is the secondlargest in all of Ohio. It was started in 1846 and in 1857 was held at the site of the former McCormick Middle School on Rt. 58. There it remained for a dozen years before moving to the present fairgrounds. But the fair as it is known today came about in 1941 as the result of a merger between the Wellington Independent and Lorain County fairs. That’s when it was stretched to a full seven day and nights. August 17, 2016 B3 38 Special, Frankie Ballard to play LCF grandstand Staff Report If you’re a fan of long hair and hot guitar licks, chances are you remember 38 Special. Best known for its 1981 hit “Hold on Loosely,” the Florida-based band is heading north to headline the Lorain County Fair with an opening night concert Aug. 22. The self-described “Wild-Eyed Southern Boys” (also the title track of their best-selling album) are headed by singer-guitarist Don Barnes. He’s the last of the band’s line-up from its rock radio heyday, but most of the current members have been playing together for two decades. Also on stage at the fair will be guitarist Danny Chauncey, who joined in 1987; keyboardist Bobby Capps (1991); drummer Gary Moffatt (1997); and bassist Barry Dunaway (2014). Legendary guitarist Donnie Van Zant, who was with 38 Special from its inception in 1974 until 2013, is now retired due to inner-ear nerve damage. He is the brother of Ronnie Van Zant, the original lead singer for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Boasting more than 20 million album sales, 38 Special continues to play more than 100 cities a year. “We never wanted to be one of those bands that had maybe gotten a little soft or complacent over the years,” Barnes said. “We’re a team and Hold on tightly to your tickets — 38 Special is coming to the Lorain County Fair. Courtesy photos MORE AT THE GRANDSTAND • The Smokeout Diesel Truck Pull will be held Wednesday, Aug. 24. • The horse pull will be Thursday, Aug. 25. • The Friday Night Spectacular NTPA Grand National Pull will be Aug. 26. • The Combine Demolition Derby (plus Truck Derby) will be Saturday, Aug. 27. • New for 2016 — the Sunday Demolition Derby will be combined into one big show Aug. 28. it’s always been kind of an unspoken rule that we don’t slack up, we stack up. We go out there every night to win.” Hits such as “Caught Up in You” and “Back Where You Belong” remain radio staples after three decades. Other signature songs include “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “If I’d Been the One,” and “Fantasy Girl.” “This music keeps our wheels on the road. We’re a band that’s tried to stay honest with what has driven us over the years. We started out with nothing but bold determination to make our own history and to endure,” Barnes said. “Looking back now, it has been our greatest pride to have persevered and attained that level of success and longevity. For us, it’s the ultimate validation.” Performing Tuesday night in the grandstand will be country star Frankie Ballard, whose song “Helluva Life” broke into the top 15 on the charts in 2013. He’s also had a pair of top 30 singles with “Tell Me You Get Lonely” and “A Buncha Girls” and has toured with Kenney Chesney, Taylor Swift, and longtime idol Bob Seger. “My bread and butter is playing live,” said Ballard. “The band and I really hammer the road and I don’t want to slow Frankie Ballard will bring a bit of country flair to the fair. down. We give everything we’ve got to put on a heck of a show. And the best is when the connection comes through one of your songs. To watch someone sing your song at the top of their lungs because they’ve been through the same thing, well, that means as much to a performer as it does to a fan, and that’s what keeps me going.” B4 August 17, 2016 2016 Lorain County Fair Lorain County Community Newspapers Lorain County Community Newspapers 2016 Lorain County Fair August 17, 2016 B5 2016 Lorain County Fair B6 August 17, 2016 Lorain County Community Newspapers What animals are at the fair? First-timers will find plenty to love, from food to rides Staff Report Never been to the fair? Consider yourself a city-slicker? A little timid to duck into the farm life? No problem — give it a try and you’ll most likely fall in love with the array of livestock, pets, and exotic animals you’ll find at the Lorain County Fair. Most people know the fair has horses, cows, and pigs. But there are also ponies, donkeys, turkeys, chickens, ducks, peacocks, goats both large and pygmy, bunnies, cavies (rodentia including guinea pigs), dogs, cats, honeybees, pheasant, quail, alpacas, llamas, doves, hedgehogs, and more! And if you’ve never been to the fair, you might not know it’s also all about the arts. Ribbons are given for all kinds of artistic endeavors, from photography to paintings, doll collections, LEGO creations, sculpture, flower arranging, sewing, quilts, cake-making, pie baking, and charcoal drawing. There are also often giant pumpkins, the greenest zucchini, the ripest tomatoes, the healthiest cornstalks, and other agricultural wonders on display. Learn how bees make honey and taste some for yourself. Take a look at the huge tractors farmers use to put food on your table. Take in a horse race. Cruise vendor tables for freebies and deals. Talk with civic groups. Shop for jewelry. See the handiwork of young 4-H carpenters. Or — if you’re like us — fill your belly. The fair offers the most amazing (but not always healthy) foods, from frozen cheesecake on a stick to steak on a stick to hot drizzling mozzarella on a stick. There’s also nonstick-based foods. Try an Italian sausage with peppers, taste warm apple cobbler, grab a walking taco, snack on roasted peanuts, and be sure to try the Dukes band donuts. Whether your tastes lean toward cotton candy or barbecue ribs, the fair has you covered. Then walk off all those calories on the main fair loop, but be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and light clothing. It gets hot under the sun! On your rounds you’ll find amusement rides, carnival games, fiddle contests, and a whole lot of fun. So if you’ve never tried the Lorain County Fair, this is the year to make it to Wellington! Our reporters will see you there.

Exhibitors in 2015 had to show taxidermied birds amid a Midwest avian flu epidemic. Ohio was among the 13 states that cancelled poultry shows to limit the spread of the disease, which had a death toll of 48 million birds. Now you can expect to see the return of chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, peacocks, and other fowl to the fairgrounds in Wellington. • A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Aug. 22 for a new veterans and EMT building on the far north side of the fairgrounds loop. It will offer private first aid treatment areas for anyone who has a medical issue at the fair; and it will provide a more spacious place for veterans to rest. • Becker’s Donuts and Bakery is among the new vendors this year. Expect bear claws and other treats, but no full-sized donuts — fair secretary Charisse Nikel said no one wanted to see competition with the Wellington band’s donut operation. • If you’re not watching calories, you may want to try the new Otterbacher Traditions waffle sundae. The treat puts coleslaw and french fries inside a waffle bowl. • Expect a more stringent stance on smoking. In November, the fair board discussed stepping up enforcement of its nosmoking policy on the grounds. Trustees said people were pretty freely lighting up and problems arose when some were asked to stop. Ushers may ask sheriff’s deputies to step in if attendees refuse to cooperate. August 17, 2016 B7 No more tents for EMTs, vets By Jonathan Delozier [email protected] A new building for veterans and emergency response services has been constructed at the Lorain County Fairgrounds. Fair board member Don Crawford celebrated the building’s completion in early August, opening it for walk-throughs. The project was approved in April and funded by proceeds from the fair’s Night at the Races event last November as well as donations from individuals and the Wellington VFW. “It’s going to be very nice for all involved,” said Lorain County fair board member Kim Meyers. “They’re finishing up some painting and lighting work this week. The interior will be a very workable environment for the vets and EMS workers with private areas to treat patients.” Southern Lorain County Ambulance District executive director Dave Knapp is tasked with handling medical emergencies at the fairgrounds. He welcomed the new home at the fair, especially compared to the modest amenities available in the past. “We used to work out of tents up there,” he said. “That could never provide the level of care that this new building will have. We get a wide variety of medical situations at the fair, from heat-related ailments to someone who needs stitches and it’s great that those people will now have better services available to them.” Meyers added that the versatility of the building will be a breath of fresh air for anyone who puts it to use. “The veterans have different groups like the VFW that will occupy the building at different times,” he said. “It is just a very functional and useful facility for us to have.” Jonathan Delozier can be reached at 440-647-3171 or @ DelozierNews on Twitter.

Washburn said the Junior Fair has also helped shape him into the man he has become. “I’ve made the decision to become one of those agriculturally-minded people who (is) constantly changing agriculture for our future generations,” he said. Jason Hawk | Civitas Media Austin Washburn of New London and Katie Cline of Amherst are crowned Lorain County Junior Fair king and queen. Jonathan Delozier | Civitas Media The Lorain County Fair board voted July 12 to hire two new security officers and bring back one who’s served in past years.

BORN IMPLEMENT 12747 VERMILION AMHERST, OH 44001 (440) 965-5657 http://bornimplement.com visit www.hollandgrill.com By Jonathan Delozier [email protected] In an effort to strengthen overnight security efforts, the Lorain County Fair board has approved the hiring of two additional officers. The new security will be in addition to the four night watchmen already onsite from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., with one looking after the front gate, one in the substation to answer phone calls, and the other two patrolling the rest of the fairgrounds. Jim Zelenka, who provides his own night security services to the fair independent of the police, was also approved to be brought back for this year. Board members said a more strict night security schedule and checklist needs to be implemented along with the new help. “There really is no night patrol schedule and that is our fault,” said board member Don Crawford. “We don’t tell them what we want, we just tell them to be here.” The cost for the extra officers will be approximately $2,600 but it’s a price that the board said could quickly pay for itself. “One spraypainted wall avoided and we save that money,” said board member Jed Lamb. According to board member Kim Meyers, a vandalism case was just settled in which two juveniles spraypainted a food booth on the fairgrounds last year. He said the incident was not the reason to bring on extra security, though. “I think that every year we’re concerned about what goes on at night when the fair closes,” he said. “People camp and use the showers so there’s ways that they can legitimately come into the fair at night. We just thought it’d be a good idea to increase security because of past thefts from vendors and because of how easy it is to get into a tent.” The board also recalled an incident where a man was found inside the spa tent taking a bath at night in recent years. “We do have vendors that have spas set up that people can look at,” Meyers said. “Some of them are functional with water in them so it’s never a bad idea to have an extra set of eyes looking after them at night.” Jonathan Delozier can be reached at 440-647-3171 or @DelozierNews on Twitter. 2016 Lorain County Fair Lorain County Community Newspapers August 17, 2016 C7 The value of water on the farm By James Hoorman OSU Extension Educator OTTAWA — Water is essential for life and livestock are no different. Water constitutes 60 to 70 percent of the body of livestock. Weather can play a huge factor in the amount water needed for the livestock species you raise. With the hot, dry weather we currently have, water may become a problem. Limiting water intake to livestock can directly impact performance of the animal more quickly and drastically than any other nutrient deficiency. Livestock without water, even for a short period of time, may lead to death. Animals should have access to all the water they can drink. Water requirements of livestock are influenced by several factors. These factors are the animal’s rate of gain, pregnancy and lactation, the animal’s activity level, type of diet, feed intake, and environmental temperatures. Livestock get a portion of the water needed daily from the forage they consume. A 1,150 pound cow grazing green forage containing 50 to 70 percent moisture consumes about three to eight gallons of water in the forage she grazes. This varies according to forages conditions and other environmental factors. Dry cows need about 20 to 22 gallons of water daily and cows in late gestation 30 gallons of water daily. Milking cows may need five times more water than the volume of milk produced. Horses on pasture require six to eight gallons of water daily. Lactating mares may require 10 to 15 gallons of water daily. A working horse may require from 10 to 18 gallons of water daily. Sheep and goats require between 1.5 to 3.5 gallons of water daily. For swine or hogs, small pigs may drink 0.7 gallons of water daily, growing pigs, two to three gallons, finishing pigs three to five gallons, gilts three gallons, non-lactating sows three to six gallons, and lactating sows three to seven gallons daily. Dogs need 0.5 to 1 ounce of water per pound of weight, so a 50 pound dog needs about a quarter to one half gallon water per day. A 10 pound cat needs about one or two cups water per day. Just like other animal species, this will vary according to the environmental conditions, weather, feed intake, activity level, and more. Access to cool, clean drinking water is essential to keep an animal’s internal body temperature within normal limits. As water temperature increases from 70 degrees to 95 degrees, total water requirements for each animal will increase by about 2.5 times. It is thought that water temperature affects rumen temperature and thus blood temperature, which affects brain centers that control feed consumption. Increased water consumption will increase excretion of urine. This will also increase the loss of certain minerals, such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium. When temperatures reach 80 degrees, cattle need two to three gallons of water per 100 pounds of body weight. Put out extra watering tanks if needed. As well as lifesaving, having ample linear space for cattle to drink and stay cool can be important in maintaining cattle. Add additional water tank space until cattle have access to at least five gallons per hour and best if ten gallons per hour. Keeping waterers clean should encourage water consumption. If cattle must be handled, work them from midnight to 8 a.m. Do not work cattle after 10 a.m. Wait until the cattle have had at least six hour of night cooling before working. This optimizes the calf’s innate diurnal rhythms in regard to heat accumulation and dissipation allowing the calf to deal more effectively with heat stress during the day. Work with the packers to schedule shipping cattle at night. Try to start loading after 1 a.m such that all cattle can arrive before 7 a.m. If cattle arrive with elevated body temperature, defects such as dark cutters may be more common. Water is also essential for humans. When it is hot, drink plenty of water and watch out for heat stress and cramping. Avoid drinking excessively cold water, which can lead to a heart attack. First, cool down your body before drinking really cold liquids. Turn your palms upward and run a hose with cold water over your veins to cool your body temperature. Young adults (18 or even younger) have had heart attacks occur by drinking cold water when they are overheated, so take precautions and keep cool.
