Every year I dwell on our entertainment and will somewhat again, but first the news. The board took on a huge project starting last Aug. 5. First, thanks in part from sponsorships, we put a brand new metal roof and ends on the draft horse barn No. 18. We then, thanks to a Legacy Grant and sponsorships, lifted the octagon refreshment stand, put in new footings, block wall up four feet, cooler inside, concrete walking area around outside, new drains and water supply. It now has been stabilized and good for another 100 years. We are finishing the project as I write this article. We started our new Heritage Center, heavily leaning on Legacy Grant and sponsorships, an 80x110-foot multiple use, new improved commercial building with a stage, dressing rooms and a rest area to get out of the weather and just visit in comfort or visit the booths. We are planning family entertainment for most of the day during the fair. The county FFA organizations, thanks to a successful financial drive, are building a new red barn on the area where the old hoop barn stood. It will be a multiple-use building housing the petting zoo and activities area for all ages. We now are installing drainage and stable surfaces around the entertainment building and hope to keep our visitors’ shoes dry. Let our board know what you think of our new fair grounds. They have put in thousands of hours this year. Our Sibley County Commissioners stepped up to support our improvements. They have been silent partners of our fair for 145 years and have not been recognized, as they should have. We hope to offer more free days leading to a free fair in the near future. Now what is happening at the Best Little Fair in Minnesota? Three animal judging rings, cattle ring, sheep and goat ring and hog ring. New barns for sheep and goats, the draft horse barn will sport a mini museum, and an ad- ditional cattle barn. Additional space in the 4-H building will add much needed space for them. Entertainment starts Wednesday night, Chopper returns after a long absence. The new revamped Sibley County Queen contest takes place in the Heritage Center and the first annual Classic Car/Bike Roll In. Thursday, Lost Highway plays in the Entertainment Building, and the Bake and Taste will be in the Heritage Center. Friday, stop by for the Free Sweet Corn Feed and Ron E. Cash, in the Entertainment Center, followed by Night of Destruction in the Grandstand. Later, Eagle River closes out the day. Saturday, the band IV Play will be in the Entertainment Building, Auto Racing in the Grandstand, topped off by Children’s Day. Sunday, visit our FREE Ranch Rodeo. The Heritage Center will have stage presentations each day. Some of our presentations are TM Wellness classes, Zoo Mobile, Pioneer presentations with some great early Minnesota presentations, Pioneer Show featuring The Civil War story. On Children’s Day, we will have Homeward Bound kids show, Lilienthal Zoo show, kids pedal pull, and the Big Bug show to complete the kids’ day. Sunday we will have the Senior Citizen show and presentation with the Century Farm recipients. A polka service and show will enhance the Heritage Center Sunday offering. Lastly, our carnival will be ready to provide top notch rides and wristbands will be available in each town in the county. I ran out of room, but you can see we have been busy setting up the 2014 fair.

By Joy Cohrs Sibley County Fair Board Member Back in 1992, Julie Schuch and Deric Sievert met at the Sibley County Fair. Julie was a member of the Weeping Willows 4-H Club and Deric belonged to the Moltke Happy Hustlers. In the next few years they started dating and were married in 2002. They now live in Moltke Township north of Gibbon. Deric farms and Julie is the Sibley County Ag Exten- sion Educator. The Sieverts have around 60 Dorset and Suffolk ewes from which they raise lambs and sell. Ewes are sheared early in the year before lambing, which produces 8-10 pounds of wool each, which is packed in large bags holding about 120 pounds. The wool is taken and sold to a buyer. Deric has been on the Sibley County Fair Board since 1999. They have two children, Cody, 10, and Nicole, 8, who are members of the Blazin’ West Stars 4-H Club. Cody, like most 4-Hers, says his favorite event is the fair. This year he will be showing eight or so sheep, his Gold Star chicken, and is rebuilding a hay rack for his shop project. He is also doing photography, wildlife, bringing barley for crops and also vegetable, indoor and flower gardening. Cody also enters projects in Open Class. This year he plans on showing his sheep, making a scarecrow and bringing flowers and vegetables. Nicole is a Cloverbud and will show sheep and chickens. She also will enter photography, vegetables and her special “Hymnal Sibley County Outstanding Senior Citizens Awards Nominations from county residents are now being sought for the 2014 Outstanding Senior Citizen Award for Sibley County.

The oldest and in most needing repair is our refreshment stand. The octagon building with large outward and inward opening doors served as a band shell in the Arlington Hospital Park for many years, probably in the 1800s. As far as we can determine, the band sat in the upper story and played out all the doors to the citizens sitting on the grass. The bottom probably served, then as now, as a refreshment stand. Sometime later, it was picked up and moved through the then main gate on the east side of the grounds to its present spot and took on a new life. It then served as the judge’s stand for the small horse race track that ran around it approximately where the road running past the grand stand around machinery hill and to the east of the carnival area. In the early 1940s, the old grandstand was torn down and the present one facing the other direction replaced it. The refreshment stand stood all alone for many years, an orphan on the grounds. Later the refreshment building was constructed next to it but trouble was on the horizon. The stand was placed on a slab of concrete when it was moved many years before. Over time, as gravel was added to the roads, it was below grade and water ran in and froze every winter until the bottom timbers were rotten. Flash forward to 2012 when the legacy grant became available, we applied and received most of the money needed to rehabilitate it. Now it is on a foundation with block bottom, drains, water, updated electricity, a cooler inside, and connected to the refreshment as before. The project is a work in progress, so we will continue to upgrade for the next few years. The next project also made possible by a crying need and a legacy grant. For years our commercial building was not set up to be used as such. It was an animal barn first and foremost. We listened to booth renters and visitors and drew up a plan to build a first rate commercial building. It had to have a stage, dressing rooms, storage, good lighting, and large doors to accommodate winter vehicle storage. Location needed to be adjacent to food, carnival, and show rings. We planned to have family entertainment on stage and dressing rooms used by anyone needing them. Commercial booths would fill the sides and rear of the building. The area in front of the stage would be for seating both at tables and on chairs so visitors could enjoy entertainment and partake the excellent fair food at the same time. The Heritage Building is nearly done and will accommo- Visit us online at www.SibleyCountyFair.com date all of our projected needs. We hope to eventually have entertainment and educational stage shows seven hours a day, Wednesday through Sunday. All shows will be family rated and will spotlight past shows held in the entertainment building for many years. Check our posters and advertising to see what’s going on. Finally, you will see a sign with the following by each of these buildings stating: Project dollars for the refreshment stand/Heritage building are provided in part by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund from the Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment through partnership with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. This is where the grants we received came from, and we are truly thankful for the help we received completing these two projects.

As the fair nears, preparations are being made in the Sibley County 4-H Extension Office for this exciting time of year! As the 2014 Sibley County 4-H program summer intern, my duties include assisting the delightful staff in the extension office with fair planning and programs! In preparation for the fair, I have taken on planning Clothing Achievement Day, the Round Robin Premier Showmanship Contest and Daycare Tours! In addition, all summer long I have been hosting day camps and a library program for kids ages Kindergarten through Fifthgrade. Many of my days in the office include correspondence with families in the form of letters, posters and brochures, but those tasks will quickly be changing when the fair is here! To many 4-H members, the Sibley County Fair becomes a highlight of their year as they proudly display accomplishments through completing general projects and showing livestock. Minnesota 4-H offers over 66 project areas for members to learn, grow and share life skills and knowledge they have acquired. Photography, crafts and fine arts, food and nutrition, shop (wood and metal), clothing and textiles, self-determined, flower gardening, Cloverbuds (K-2) and vegetable gardening are among the top favorites of 4-H members! There is a project area for every child to explore their interests and learn in the process. Showing livestock is another exciting project area many 4-H members experience. Poultry, rabbit, dairy, beef, goat, sheep, swine and llama are all permitted to be shown at the Sibley County Fair. If you do not own livestock, that is alright! The 4-H program can arrange a leasing agreement with the livestock owners and the 4Hers! Your child can still have the experience of feeding, bedding, grooming and showing their livestock regardless if you live on the farm or in town. Looking at the big picture, Minnesota 4-H is an astounding and recognized youth program across the state. In 2013 there were over 65,000 youth in the program alone! That number does not include the numerous club leaders, parents and over 11,000 volunteers who help to make our organization impactful! Minnesota 4-H offers many additional opportunities to youth which include statewide camps, an ambassador program, scholarships and the opportunity to exhibit their projects at the Minnesota State Fair. 4-H is committed to supporting personal development in youth and community involvement. If you are interested in learning more about 4-H or joining Sibley County 4-H as a member or volunteer to achieve this mission, please contact the Sibley County Extension Office at (507) 237-4100 or check out Sibley County 4-H at our website, http://www3. extension.umn.edu/county/sibley/. I am looking forward to the fair and do not be afraid to stop by and say hello to the Sibley County 4-H Extension staff!
