Fremont County Fair 2014
Rodeo royalty busy preparing for fair
q The Royalty is
headed into the busiest
time of their reign as
they prepare to
represent the 101st
Fremont County
Fair and Rodeo.
From staff reports
The Fremont County Fair &
Wind River Rodeo Roundup
Royalty — including queen
Devon Burrell, junior queen Tia
Gopp, princess Alexis Herbert and
attendant Cydney Bradley — have
been busy since their coronation
in November in Riverton.
The group has participated in
activities like benefits and queen
clinics in addition to riding in
multiple parades and running flags
for the Professional Rodeo
Cowboys Association.
The royal ladies were invited to
help out at the National Turkey
Federation and Pheasants Forever
benefits and auctions. The queens
and princess displayed auction
items and assisted with games at
both events last fall. They said
they enjoyed both evenings and
are glad they could help out both
organizations.
In late March the royalty
attended the Miss Rodeo
Wyoming Clinic held in Douglas.
Young rodeo queen enthusiasts
from around the region where
invited to attend the event. The
royalty took their horses, saddles
and positive attitudes with them
to learn more about the rodeo
queen world, from speech-making
and modeling to queen attire, hair,
makeup and horsemanship skills.
In May, the royalty attended
Memorial Day weekend festivities
in Jackson Hole, riding through
the historic town during its annual
parade. Riding in parades is one of
the favorite activities for the royalty, because they get to wave at
crowds and stop for photos along
the way with tourists from around
the world.
June brought the PRCA Rodeo
to Thermopolis, and the royalty
was invited to attend the two-day
event. Queen Devon Burrell represented the Fremont County Fair
and Rodeo at the parade and by
carrying flags for the grand entry
at the PRCA Rodeo.
Next stop was July 3 in Cody
for a parade. Then, to top off the
Fourth of July festivities, the royalty rode in the Pioneer Days Parade
and night rodeo held in Lander.
The last on the parade route
will be Cheyenne Frontier Days
on July 22. The royalty plan to
take in a PRCA rodeo performance while there as well.
Fair and rodeo
The Royalty is headed into the
busiest time of their reign as they
prepare to represent the 101st
Fremont County Fair and Rodeo.
Saturday, July 26, marks the
official beginning of fair week
with the annual Twilight Fair
Parade down Main Street.
Later in the week, the royalty
will be handing out ribbons and
awards during various livestock
shows and carrying flags for the
grand entries at all of the night
shows.

College where she is majoring in
equine management. Devon is
also on the CWC rodeo team; she
runs barrels and break away ropes.
Junior queen Gopp is the 16year-old daughter of Tawn and
Shaundi Gopp. In her free time,
Tia enjoys riding her horse, spending time with friends, participat-
ing on the Riverton High School
swim team and spending time
with her family. She is also active
in 4-H and Future Farmers of
America. Tia will be a senior at

Fair intern reaches out
to younger audience
By Katie Roenigk
Staff Writer
The Fremont County Fair and
Rodeo has an intern helping with
marketing this year: Kari
Wadsworth of Riverton.
She has spent her time in the
job preparing public service
announcements for media outlets
notifying residents about events
planned for this year’s fair and
rodeo.
She also has been turning to
online markets like Facebook and
Instagram to let a wider audience
know about this year’s schedule.
“(I want to) get it out there
more … for the younger generation,” she said.
She showed sheep when she was
younger in Nebraska, but
Wadsworth said she doesn’t have a
lot of experience with fair events
otherwise. She has learned a lot in
the weeks leading up to the
“It’s crazy,” she said. “It really is.”
The Central Wyoming College
graduate will transfer to Black Hills
State University in the fall.

Roadwork expected to cause traffic delays through fair week
By Katie Roenigk
Staff Writer
Local officials are bracing for
the impacts of local road construction on traffic at this year’s
Projects include roadwork along
South Federal Boulevard and
Riverview Road, in addition to
curb and gutter repairs ongoing
throughout Riverton.
Some of the construction could
affect the Twilight Fair Parade,
scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday
along Main Street. Riverton Police
Department Capt. Eric Murphy
said crews hope to have moved
away from the downtown area by
then.
“They’re hoping they’ll be on
the other side of Hill Street,”
Murphy said.
If that is the case, traffic can
avoid Main Street during the
parade by turning down Hill
Street and taking Riverview Road
east.
Murphy hoped the work on
Riverview will be far enough along
by Saturday to make the reroute
possible.
“We’re asking the public to be
patient,” Murphy said.
“We’re asking the
public to be patient.
… It’s going to be
a big mess no
matter what.”
ERIC MURPHY
Riverton Police Department captain
on the effects of construction on
traffic during the Fremont County
Fair and Rodeo
As the fair continues through
the week, it could be difficult for
motorists to make their way to the
fairgrounds in south Riverton,
especially during more popular
events. Murphy said the Wyoming
Department of Transportation is
planning to make signs that will
direct traffic to the best routes to
the fair from various parts of
town, but he added, “It’s going to
be a big mess no matter what.”
Demo derby
Based on his experience,
The South Federal Boulevard road construction project — along with work on Riverview Road
and curbs and gutters around town — could cause traffic delays in Riverton through fair week.
Murphy said the Riverton Elk
Demolition Derby, scheduled for
7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2, in the
grand arena, will be the most populated with cars and people.
“That’s really one of the top
things,” Murphy said. “We’re
already starting to plan for the
traffic flow of (the derby), because
it’s going to be huge.”
Organizers say trucks have been
added to the lineup this year.
No more parking
As in the past, Fairgrounds
Drive will be designated a one-
way street during the Fremont
County Fair and Rodeo. New this
year, however, people will not be
allowed to park on the side of the
road.
“The safety of the exhibitors is
the main concern,” fair marketing
intern Kari Wadsworth said.

‘Not even a question’
4-H leader says everyone should get involved
By Kelli Ameling
Staff Writer
Amanda Winchester, of Lander,
has been participating in 4-H for
33 years.
She started when she was a
child, competing in the events, and
then became a leader for the local
group Sinks Canyon 4-H Club.
Winchester also worked in two
different county extension offices
around the state with the 4-H programs when she was in college.
“I really believe that 4-H teaches
the kids leadership, responsibility
and gives them a lot of great
opportunities and experiences,” she
said.
During her experience, she
competed at county, state and
national levels and went on to
coach students who competed at
those levels as well.
“I have gotten to know lots of
great kids and helped them compete and travel to some pretty cool
places,” Winchester said.
With completion getting ready
to gear up at the Fremont County
Fair this weekend, she is looking
forward to competing and celebrating the 4-H program being in
Wyoming for 100 years.
“I love fair — it is my favorite
time of year,” Winchester said.
Highlights of the fair for her
include watching the livestock
show and seeing children and parents from around the county.
She noted it is also a time for
children to meet other children
they wouldn’t have known without
being in 4-H.
“Some of my best friends are
still people I hung out with in 4-H
as a kid,” Winchester said.
Involvement
It’s “not even a question,”
Winchester said, when it comes to
children debating on whether or
not to get involved.
“You can be a part of anything
from drawing, cooking, sewing to
animals big and small,” she said.
Through 4-H, children learn
skills such as public speaking,
judging different things, informa-
tion about animals and more.
Winchester said she is a little
biased when it comes to the topic
as one of her influences comes
from her father being the county
extension agent for more than 30
years and being a huge part of 4-H.
“I have had several other businesses in town tell me that they
would hire anyone who was in 4H or (Future Farmers of America)
because they know about responsibility and how to work hard,” she
said. “That is a huge compliment
to the program.”
Winchester noted 2014 marks
the 100th year of 4-H in the state
of Wyoming.
“A great opportunity for a lifetime,” she said.
Family tradition
The passion for 4-H was not
just passed down to Winchester
— her son, Jacob Winchester, has
also become a competitor.
Jacob Winchester, 17, has been
participating in 4-H for nine years.
For fair this year, he said he has
pottery, drawings and market
Colb and Jacob Winchester brought their sheep to the scale
house with their grandfather Ron Cunningham.

lambs to compete with.
“My favorite part of competing
is getting to see my friends,” Jacob
Winchester said.
Likes his mother, he has also be
able to compete at county, state
and national levels.
“I have gotten to meet some
great people,” he said. “It is important to be a part of 4-H because it
is just part of our family. I have
gotten to travel and have fun with
4-H.”
Jacob Winchester’s brother,
Colby, 15, also participates in 4H. He has been completing for
seven years and is working on the
same projects as Jacob Winchester
for fair this year. Wednesday, July 23, 2014

Going for a goal: $200K
Tough Enough looking for ‘over the top’ donations
By Katie Roenigk
Staff Writer
Over the past year, the Tough
Enough to Help Cancer Fund has
distributed $120,000 to area residents in need of financial assistance
due to medical issues.
“So basically we have helped 120
people in the last 12 months,” organizer Teresa Nirider said. “That’s
some new folks we’ve helped, and it
may be some returning folks that
we helped in the past.”
People will have a chance to
replenish the Tough Enough
money during this year’s Fremont
County Fair and Rodeo. On
Tuesday, July 29, the PRCA Ram
rodeo night event as part of the fair
will begin with an auction to benefit the fund.
For the seventh annual auction,
Nirider said her group will once
again offer pink-fringed chaps and
chinks for sale. The garb is currently on display at the Boot Barn, 727
N. Federal Blvd.
Nirider said the chinks were purchased during last year’s auction by
Olson Auto Body and Towing. The
business decided to re-donate the
item for use during this year’s event.
To make the chinks new for the
2014 buyer, Nirider had them autographed by several rodeo stars,
including world champion team
roper Jhett Johnson of Casper and
world champion barrel racer Mary
Walker.
Nirider said the professionals
participated in last year’s rodeo.
“We actually had several world
champion folks come through our
fair last year,” Nirider said.
She attributed the presence of
skilled participants to the Powder
River Rodeo group that provides
stock for the Fremont County Fair.
“They’ve been bringing their top
line of stock to our rodeo, and that
attracts cowboys,” Nirider said. “If
(riders) are going to spend money
on entry fees and want to win
money to go toward their ability to
go to the National Finals (Rodeo),
they kind of select the rodeo where
the good stock is going to be.”
She hopes this year’s competitors
will draw a generous crowd. Since
2008, the Tough Enough auction
has raised about $175,000, and
Nirider said she would like to generate $25,000 more during this
year’s event.
“We would absolutely be ecstatic
if we could find the generosity of
Fremont County to push us over
that $200,000 mark,” Nirider said.
“That’s our goal. We would like to
go over the top this year.”
Nirider acknowledged that
“financial times are tough,” but she
said the community’s support is
critical to keep the Tough Enough
fund sustainable.
“We have to reach for something,” she said. “Our fingers are
crossed that there’s someone out
there that would be able to help us.”
Nirider called the chocolate
brown chaps and chinks that will be
auctioned off this year “absolutely
gorgeous.” They were hand-made
by BJ Griffin of Leather Design in
Riverton.
“She hand-built them,” Nirider
said. “All the tulle-ing you see on
them, she did that — it’s not
machine-tulled, that is all truly
hand-crafted. And they are pretty.”
Griffin said it feels “amazing” to
be part of the Tough Enough effort.

For example, anyone wearing pink
at the July 29 rodeo event will get a
raffle ticket for a chance to win a

Great white sharks coming to fair

Brave spectators will come face-to-face
with predatory sharks during the 2014
The live sharks will be on display this
year through Great White Encounters of
Florida. Fair marketing intern Kari
Wadsworth said the show should be entertaining and educational all at once.
“They’re real sharks,” she said. “The guy
gets in the tank and swims with them from
my understanding.”
People can see the fish all week during
the fair in the Cottonwood Arena.
According to National Geographic,
great white sharks are the largest predatory

The mouths of great white sharks are
lined with up to 300 serrated, triangular
teeth arranged in several rows, according
to National Geographic, and the animals
have an “exceptional” sense of smell that
they use to detect prey.
“They even have organs that can sense
the tiny electromagnetic fields generated
by animals,” National Geographic’s website states.
The animal’s main prey includes sea
lions, seals, small-toothed whales, sea turtles and carrion.

Science at the fair
‘Bernoulli blower,’ pendulums, blocks
available all week in the Fremont Center
“
By Katie Roenigk
Staff Writer
Science Zone director Steven
Schnell said visitors should bring
their “thinking caps” to the
this year.
The Casper-based science center is returning to the event offering exhibits, competitions and
demonstrations Monday through
Aug. 2 in the Fremont Center.
Activities
From noon to 8 p.m. each day,
the Science Zone will display
popular exhibits from its Casper
facility.
“We’re taking them off the
floor and taking them to you
guys,” Schnell said.
One station will explore the
science behind windmills. In
another area, kids can play with
scales to determine the weight of
various household items.
A “Bernoulli blower” will utilize a beach ball to show how the
Bernoulli principle works,
We’re taking them off
the floor and taking
them to you guys.
STEVEN SCHNELL
Science Zone director speaking
about the Casper facility’s exhibits
Schnell continued.
According to the MerriamWebster dictionary, the Bernoulli
principle states that the pressure
in a stream of fluid is reduced as
the speed of the flow is increased.
The Concise Encyclopedia
explains
further,
calling
Bernoulli’s a principle that relates
pressure, velocity and height for a
nonviscious fluid with a steady
flow.
“A consequence is that, for
horizontal flow, as the speed of a
fluid increases, the pressure it
exerts decreases,” the encyclope-

the lift of an airplane in motion.
“As the speed of the plane
increases, air flows faster over the

is thus greater than the pressure
exerted downward above the
wing, resulting in a net upward
force, or lift.”
Race cars also use the principle
to keep their wheels pressed to
the ground as they accelerate,
according to the encyclopedia
entry.
“A race car’s spoiler — shaped
like an upside-down wing, with
the curved surface at the bottom

Science
— produces a net downward force,” it
states.
In a similar way, Schnell said children
will be able to use a giant fan to keep the
beach ball afloat.
“You can tilt the angle of it down, and
the beach ball will still be trapped in the
air current, even though it’s horizontal to
the ground,” he said. “It looks like magic
when it happens.”
Smaller children can play with bubbles,
he continued, while others use a sand pendulum to make circles, ellipses and other
designs.
“The pendulum is (made of ) sand in a
container with a hole at the bottom, (so)
as it spins in circles (it) will draw,” Schnell
explained. “It makes a really cool design,
so I’m pretty excited about that one. It’s a
good hit.”
There also will be a light table with
magnetic shapes for children to use to
build structures.
“(The shapes) are translucent but still
colored, so the light table makes it look
really cool,” Schnell said.
In the engineering zone, visitors can
play with Legos, K’Nex and other building
tools, and Schnell believes the human
gyroscope will make an appearance at the
fair as well. People using the chair use their
hands to spin a wheel that sets them spinning and tilting in various directions.
Science Zone participants will get to see
some animals, including small creatures
only visible through a microscope.

“Then the other thing we’ve got is called
visual rebound (with) visual impairment
goggles and a bean bag toss,” Schnell said.
“You put (the goggles) on and see basically
how long it takes your brain to actually
adjust to the new way that you’re looking
at things.”
Daily events
A Dissection Demo is scheduled for 1
p.m. daily.
“We’ve got a giant bucket of something
that we’re going to be pulling out of for
dissection,” Schnell said, adding that children will not be asked to cut up the object.
Engineering contests are at 3 p.m. daily,
when children will be asked to compete to
build the tallest tower in 2 minutes, for
example. Winners earn prizes from the
Science Zone’s fair gift shop.
A chemistry show will take place at 6
p.m. daily.
“We’ll probably blow something up or
light something on fire,” Schnell said.
The Science Zone in Casper utilizes
innovative exhibits, programs and outreach to present informal science education throughout the state of
Wyoming. Regular hours are 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. Monday through Saturday at 111 W.

Hogs bring families together at county fair
q The Crippen family
started breeding pigs
to support local
competition.
By Eric Blom
Staff Writer
Hogs and the fair are family
affairs for Trish Crippen.
She has volunteered at the
for 15 years.
“What I enjoy is just going and
seeing every kid and seeing their
animal project or going to the hall
and seeing their big items — see
what they’ve sewed or their leather
craft,” Crippen said.
She also is the community leader
for the Trivalley 4-H club based in
Missouri Valley.
Sewing
Crippen got her start in fair as a
child, mostly sewing and showing
clothes.
“One year I made a corduroy
jacket and pants,” she said. “I got
to go to state and model that outfit.
That was kind of a cool highlight.”
Her sisters Jody Post and Bessie
Cantrell also showed at fair, and the
three still are close.
“We were laughing because we
were looking for pictures, and I did
find some old pictures of us in our
clothes that we sewed and modeled,” she said. “We were making
fun of each other’s hair dos back
then.”
To the hogs
Crippen did not get her start
with hogs until she had children of
her own.
Her son and daughter were in 4H and showed projects at the
county fair. Then they decided to
start to raise swine.
“I’ve always liked pigs, and
where we live at it was easy to set
up and do that,” Crippen said.
After a while, she and her husband Darren were convinced to
expand the pig operation.
“My kids, after they had to sell
their pigs, they were very sad, so
they talked Darren and I into starting to raise them,” Crippen said.
For several years, the family bred
hogs and sold some to other fair
kids who would raise and show
them, she said.
Eventually, her sisters got into
the business as well.
The Crippen family’s hog operation was called Paradise Hogs,
Post’s family had their own called
Riverview Bottom Hogs, and
Cantrell’s family’s was Lakeview
Hogs.
Crippen and her husband
stopped raising pigs for this year,
she said. Her sisters still breed pigs,
but Crippen thinks she won the
sibling rivalry.
“I’m going to have to say it’s me
because they have all my breeding
stock now,” she said.
Family at the fair
Fair is still something the
women share: The three sisters all
volunteer with the Trivalley club
and at the week-long annual fair.
During fair week, Crippen
spends much of her time in the
swine barn, helping the kids with
their animals, operating the gate at
swine shows and shooing hogs with
a swine board.
She also helps her club run recycling bins. The group has two cardboard boxes used to collect recyclables, such as cans and plastic

bottles. Crippen makes sure the
kids empty the bins when the containers are full and take the collected items to the Riverton recycling
centers.
Even though her children do not
participate in fair anymore, fair
week is a busy time for Crippen.
“I’ll also be running to all my
other barns and making sure my
leaders have everything under control and my kids know what they’re
doing,” she said.
Sometimes, she still calls on the
skills she developed as a girl.
“Just the other day I got to sew
with one of my first-year members
— we got to sew some little shorts
up,” she said. “So I still get to sew;
that’s nice.”

merchandise will be on sale at the
rodeo, with proceeds going to the
Susan G. Komen Wyoming Race
for the Cure.
Throughout the week of the fair,
people can participate in a “bedazzled bra” contest that also raises
money for the Tough Enough
fund. Contestants tastefully decorate bras for the competition, and
fair-goers use money to vote for
their favorite design.
“Twenty-five cents is a vote,” fair
officer manager Pat Hart explained.
The top three vote-getters receive
a cash prize, while the rest of the
money goes to the local Tough
Enough fund. Hart said she also
plans to re-use the bras later this
year.
“There are going to be additional activities we’re going to do with
them in October for breast cancer
awareness,” she said. “It’s going to
be almost like a ‘Where’s Waldo’
type thing — we’re going to ‘spot
the bra.’”
The clothing will be on display
in the Fremont Center all week
during the fair. Entry forms technically were due earlier this month,
but Hart said she will accept bedazzled bras at any time.
“We’ve seen all kinds,” she said,
encouraging participation. “One
last year looked like angel wings
— it was feathery, and it was really
cool. (Another) had beer tops all
over. And one looked like bee
hives and had bees on it.”
The first year the competition was
held, the fair was beach-themed,
so someone made a bra covered in
sand and palm trees. Fair staff constructed one bra to look like watermelons, Hart said.
“It’s just a variety,” she said.
“Anything from lace and feathers
and jewels to just going for it.”
Last year, Nirider said the Tough
Enough fund received several hundred dollars as a result of the bedazzled bra contest. She thanked the
fair staff and participating residents
for their enthusiasm.
“We cannot continue to help
our friends and neighbors with this
fund without their assistance,” she
said. “We live in a very unique
community. … It seems Fremont
County rallies and we take care of
our own.”
The Tough Enough fund was
established to assist individuals with
household assistance and travel
costs.

Jousting match added to schedule
to recognize ‘Kool Knights’ theme
By Katie Roenigk
Staff Writer
The theme for this year’s Fremont County
Fair and Rodeo is “Kids, Kritters and Kool
Knights.”
To celebrate the latter part of the phrase,
fair organizers are bringing a full-contact
jousting contest to Fremont County at 7:30
p.m. July 31 in the grand arena. Admission is
$10 for adults and $5 for children.
“I’ve watched some of their videos,” fair
marketing intern Kari Wadsworth said of the
jousting company hired for this year’s event.
“They go for it. They run at each other. It’s
pretty crazy.”
The group is out of Las Vegas and recently
performed at the Lincoln County Fair,
Wadsworth explained.
“Somebody saw them at Afton, (and) then
when they went to Vegas for a fair convention
they talked to them and booked them to
come here,” she said.
The History Channel calls jousting the
“first extreme sport.” The practice can be
traced back to the Middle Ages and the rise
of the use of heavy cavalry, or armored warriors on horseback, according to the History
Channel.
“The feudal system then in place required
rich landowners and nobles to provide
knights to fight for their king during war,”
Two riders prepare for impact during a
jousting match.

the channel’s website states. “Jousting provided these knights with practical, hands-on
preparation in horsemanship, accuracy and
combat simulations that kept them in fighting shape between battles.”
Though it initially was intended for military training, jousting soon became a popular
form of entertainment, the website continues,
and successful jousters achieved a certain
amount of fame.
“In many ways, these knights were the star
athletes of their day,” the History Channel
states. “Just like with today’s modern-day athletes and sports franchises, rivalries soon
formed as the knights fought each other again
and again while travelling the jousting ‘circuit.’ … The most successful jousters could
receive gifts of money, land and titles from a
grateful liege.”
