3 Barn Character Think about it Show season is upon us! It s crunch time! I know each of you have been working tirelessly with your projects and are ready for the fair. There are a lot of things your project can teach you but if there is one lesson I want you to take from being raised in the barn, it s that your character is the most important thing you have. One thing I wanted to remind each of you about who is watching you. The second you pull into the fairgrounds you are being watched by more than your parents, family and Ag teachers/agents and leaders. You do not know the impact you make on younger youth every second you are there. As we prepare for the fair, think about the reason you show livestock. Did you enter the barn and see the beautiful banners and belt buckles won by the best showman? Did you see the exhibitors spending time washing, feeding and grooming their projects? Looking back, at least one exhibitor comes to mind right? I want each of you to be that exhibitor. You never know who or what age youth or adult is looking for inspiration. It doesn t come with winning. You can inspire someone just by talking to them, showing them your animal or helping them with their project. Here are a couple ideas to help you be the best example you can be. Be helpful. Not matter what is going on, you can help. Whether it is sweeping, shoveling, helping another exhibit or just being ringside (in case of a run away!) Be dressed appropriately. Girls and guys. I know this gets beat in the ground but let s face it, someone is going to bend the rules. Belts, boots, button up shirt and jeans. That simple. Inside and outside the show ring. You do not have to reveal to appeal. Have a good attitude. This is one that is overlooked quite often. We get agitated with siblings, parents or other exhibitors. This also includes your project. We work so hard, and animals will be animals. Be gentle and understanding. The difference with the animal will amaze you and your attitude will impress others around you. It s easy to lose a temper, but it s hard to regain a reputation and trust with an animal or an exhibitor. Sportsmanship is one of the easiest things to learn and the best way to be known. These are the people that are remembered, the ones that are helpful, respectful and hard working. ALWAYS thank the judge (another thing that you have heard a million times). We say it multiple times every year and there are still youth that don t thank the judge. The judge has taken time out of their day to come and talk about every animal in the ring. They are there for one reason. They enjoy judging livestock and teaching youth. The show ring is a classroom. You have worked all year with this animal and the judge is there to explain to you how to improve your animal selection and presentation, just listen. This will help with next year s project! Just remember that you are being watched by everyone the second you walk into the Fair barn. Be the person the younger youth remember and look up to. Be the youth that parents refer to as a great example or role model. Good Luck! Brittany Riley 4-H Program Assistant 3

4 The Teen Leader Club is planning an Ice Cream Social on October the 7th for ages To RSVP or for more information please call Cherrie Sweeney or Amy Crawford at Record Books Due in January Be thinking about your 4-H Record Book!

5 Poultry Clinic The 2017 Poultry Clinic was a great success!

At the end of the day Natalee S. of Centerpoint 4-H was awarded the Ostrich Egg for being so attentive and answering questions. Hog Raffle 4-H is raffling a 250# free range hog.
