New hog barn to hog attention at fair
By Dean Shipley
[email protected]
Doug Peterman was eagerly
awaiting a visitor from Clark
County. He would be the county’s
electrical inspector. Once he signed
off on the new Beck’s Hog Barn’s
wiring, the Madison County Agricultural Society could be issued an
occupancy permit.
The barn of new construction,
and another facility to its rear,
are the latest additions to the fairgrounds and the newest assets to
the community, thanks to the hard
work of many in the community.
Peterman, a member of the jr.
fair sales committee, and others
have pulled together to create
a fresh face on the fairgrounds,
which will host the 126th edition
of the Madison County Fair July
12-18. Numerous businesses, the
county commissioners and private
donors have pooled resources and
brought about a renaissance on the
grounds.
The hog barn will be furnished
with 200 portable hog pens. They
were assembled by inmates at the
Marion Correctional Facility from
materials paid for by the sales committee. To recoup those funds, the
sales committee has offered anyone
with $200 an opportunity for sponsorship of a pen.
Peterman said the program has
proceeded well with a few sponsorship opportunities remaining.
To help out a weighty situation,
two donors have come forward to
provide scales for animal weighins. A fund set up in remembrance
of Bob Murry has purchased one
scale and Neil Babb, former Madison County engineer, has donated
another livestock scale.
The other new buildings, the
Eby Arena, and the Coughlin Community Center, will host numerous
events during the fair.
The grandstand will host events
starting Sunday, July 12 with
harness racing. A county with a
lengthy heritage of raising and racing trotters and pacers, colts and
fillies, will host racing all afternoon
with post time at noon.
One of the harness races will feature all female drivers in the Ohio
Ladies Pace. Gerald Henry, spokesman for the racing event, said it
will not be known which race it
will be until the competitors draw.
Those who like their horsepower
in the form of diesel and gasolinepowered engines will want to
come out the evenings of Tuesday,
Wednesday or Friday for truck and
tractor pulls. The Central Ohio
Truck Pullers will hold its event
Tuesday evening with its full array
of events diesel, modified, pro gas
events.
The Wednesday event will be
the NTPA Tractor pull with FWD
diesel trucks, light pro stock, heavy
super stock and modified tractors.
Friday will feature two-wheel
drive trucks, minis, light super
stock and super farm tractors.
Thursday’s grandstand events
will include a hot dog eating contest ($5 entry fee), 6 p.m. and at 7
p.m as well as Triple H rodeo barrel racing and bull riding.
Saturday at 5 p.m. ladies will test
their arms with a skillet throwing
contest and at 7 p.m. a demolition
derby. For kids, earlier at noon, the
sheep arena will host a pedal pull.
Members of 4-H and FFA clubs
will be busy preparing their fair
entries, animal and non-animal, to
show the county their skills in their
chosen areas of competition. They
are events in which everybody wins
because everybody, as they compete, will learn about not only their
entry, but also about themselves.
Speaking for the Madison County commissioners, Commissioner
David Dhume said the 126th Madison County Fair will be a great one.
“We’re feeling renewed energy,
renewed ownership of the fairgrounds. With the cooperation of
Dean Shipley | The Madison Press
Heritage Cooperative volunteers, Dave
Monnin, top, and John Arthur, apply green
paint to the fairgrounds sign at the Elm
Street entrance to the Madison County
Fairgrounds. The Sheehys of Custom Sign
Co. of Columbus donated new “skins” for
the sign and Marshall Electric repaired the
lighting. The plan calls for it eventually
to be replaced with a digital sign. A fund
has been started for that project, said Bob
Richardson, marketing representative for
the ag society.
the fair board and the sales committee, the fair is more prominent
and important than it has been in
years,” Dhume said.
Dhume said with the renewed
enthusiasm surrounding the fair
he expects animal entries to be at
overflow capacity.
“The new hog barn will be full
with some overflow,” Dhume said.
The barn was erected with the
cooperation of the commissioners
and local businesses. The commissioners offered a two dollarsper-one-dollar match to donations
to the project. It was the same as
was offered for the Eby Arena and
Coughlin Community Center.
“We’re really pleased with the
two for one commitment,” he said.
“It’s been an overwhelming success
as far as we’re concerned.”

The public will certainly want more than a peek inside the new Beck’s
Hog Barn on the Madison County Fairgrounds. By fair time, all the
pens will be erected. Many of the 200 pens are already sponsored.
Dean Shipley | The Madison Press
The Beck’s Hog barn sits adjacent to the Coughlin Community
Center and the Eby Arena on the Madison County Fairgrounds. The
new structure stands as another asset for the community.

A good washing — Over the course of a week, 4-H club and FFA members show hundreds of animals at the
Madison County Fair. That includes making them look their best and making them mind. Jack Champer
uses a high pressure blower to dry his roan shorthorn breeding heifer following her bath during the 2014
fair. He doesn’t want her to “collect” dirt on her mottled coat, so frequent baths are the way to keep it off.

Big sister’s little helper — Elanna Kotsko, 8, of London, supervises her family’s two Runner ducks while
they enjoy some exercise in a kiddie pool at the 2014 Madison County Fair. The ducks placed third place
in show earlier that week when they were shown by Elanna’s 17-year-old sister, Mallory Green.
