Following her last yearas horticultural superin-tendent, Yvonne Swensonsays it’s time to call itquits.

Swenson will finish outher 32nd year in favor ofbeing able to enjoy the faira little more by becominga regular fairgoer. “I en-joyed it,” Swenson said. Itwas the people that madeit worthwhile. That andthe flowers.

Prior tobecomingsuperin-tendent,she enteredflowers in-to the fairstarting in1973. By1978, she’d

been asked by a friend tobe the horticultural super-intendent and taking theposition’s responsibilities.Duties include makingchanges in the fair bookeach year, deciding what

will be listed; accepting allthe entries the week of thefair and getting themready for judging; as wellas finding volunteers towork the horticultural de-partment.

The job requires longhours, and it can takeaway from experiencingthe fair itself. “It’s a lot ofhours, and when you’redone at the end of theweek, you’re really tired,”Swenson said.

Still, she’ll miss the job,though with mixed feel-

ings. When helping withentries, she often providestips for the contestants,making suggestions andoffering reminders. Any-one can enter their flow-ers. Interested personsmay consult the fair bookon entry rules and regula-tions.

Following this year’s

Richland County Fair andRodeo, a new horticulturalsuperintendent will beneeded, and Swenson saysshe’s willing to offer helpand training.

“I think new blood isgood,” she said, becausethey can offer new ideaseach year.

Next year, the superin-

tendent says she looks for-ward to enjoying otherparts of the fair as a “fairperson.” She plans to re-turn each year, remember-ing all the years she spentbehind the scenes.

“It’s a feeling of accom-plishment when you’redone,” she said. “It’ll behard to stay away I think.”

T.J. Casey is a “cowboy from the soul”singer and songwriter from Billings.

He will entertain at the Richland Coun-ty Fair Friday and Saturday.

Casey’s online biography provides thefollowing information, “Spending two-thirds of his life so far in a saddle, work-ing with cattle and horses on ranchesacross the West, gives T. J. Casey and hiswords and music an authenticity impos-sible to manufacture – they are truly “ofthe land.” Being onstage as an entertain-er nationwide across the last threedecades gives T. J. Casey and his words,music and presentation a polish and pres-ence impossible to manufacture…theyare truly “for the audience.”

“When this larger-than-life artist stepsunder the spotlight, looks you in the eye,strums the strings on his guitar andopens his mouth to sing, the cowboy fromhis soul communicates with you..you livethe song, the poem, the story. You smelltrail dust and campfire smoke, feel sweatand grit on your brow, taste the blessedrefreshment of clear spring water after along, hot day of work.”

The soul of T. J. Casey was shaped inhim by the precepts of his mama and dad-dy, by his childhood in Montana’s beauti-ful but harsh and remote Pryor Moun-tains, and by close association with hors-es and cattle before he can even remem-ber. Living primitively (by today’s stan-dards), with no electricity, telephone orindoor plumbing taught him just howunimportant money and possessions re-ally are in life.

Mentored by old cowboys and old hors-es, Casey learned honesty, humor, re-spect, trustworthiness and strength ofcharacter. Wild cattle and younger horsestaught him mental and physical brawnand agility, and developed in him a goodmeasure of toughness and tenacity.

Interwoven with these forces was thepowerful oral history of the cowboy,which Casey was steeped in through po-ems, stories and songs, passed down fromthose who’d gone before. That culture be-came woof and warp of his soul, so thatthe songs and poems spawned there todaybear witness of and are true to his cow-boy heritage.

“Harvesting Traditions”Richland County Fair & Rodeo

BY JUDY JOHNSONRICHLAND COUNTY EXTENSION

Have you ever walked through the agri-culture building looking at all the great ex-hibits during the fair and said, “I shouldhave entered this” or “I could have enteredthat”? The other thought runningthrough your head may be, “It would havebeen so fun to enter something this year.”In our household the saying for that kindof thinking is “should’a, could’a, wished I

would’a.”Now is the time to avoid that thinking

and experience a true tradition at the fairby entering in the open class division.Time is of the essence as pre-registrationforms must be postmarked and brought tothe fair office by 9 a.m. Sunday (today).

The main thing is to read the entry in-structions in the fair book. It does an ex-cellent job explaining how you need to en-ter an item to be judged. If you are enter-ing food preservation take note that a can-

ning label must be attached. That label ison page 46 of this year’s fair book.

If you are a photographer, read the entryinformation on page 34. There have beennumerous changes this year in categoriesand age divisions. Marlys Binder, superin-tendent of the photography department, iswilling to answer any questions you mayhave by calling her at 488-2662.

Fine arts and crafts, culinary andneedlework do not have major changes buta quick review of the entry guidelines will

ensure that your entry is entered correctlyand will not be disqualified. Also, don’tforget the floriculture and agriculture andhorticulture departments.

If you haven’t already, create a traditionby entering an exhibit in the RichlandCounty Fair. It’s fun and you won’t have tolisten to that, “wished I would’a” voice inyour head. If you are in need of a fair pre-mium book contact the fair office or theRichland MSU Extension Office, 123 W.Main.

Experience the tradition – Enter in the Richland County Fair

Fair is the time for families and friendsto go out and enjoy the attractions andevents that Richland County has to offer.

But everyone has a different perspec-tive about the Richland County Fair andRodeo. Some enjoy the food and the enter-tainment; others enjoy viewing the com-mercial buildings and riding the ridesuntil 11 p.m. For Joyce Wick, it’s showingoff her skills to the public with her 4-Hprojects.

4-H is a youth organization “engagingyouth to reach their fullest potentialwhile advancing the field of youth devel-opment,” this being the association’s mis-sion statement. The name “4-H” comesfrom the four personal development ar-eas that 90,000 clubs in the United Statesreflects upon – head, heart, hands andhealth. Wick is in one of those 90,000clubs, this one being called Valley ViewWranglers.

Into her seventh year of being a mem-ber of Valley View, this 18 year old hashad some busy summers in the past, as

well as this summer. Looking back to herfirst year of entering a 4-H project intothe fair, Wick remembers feeling not con-fident, but managed to win top honorswith her horse project. Her third year in4-H though, will always be a fond memo-ry. That year she won her first belt bucklein the round robin at the county fair withher dairy cow.

Wick also has a history of entering in avariety of project areas, from her Englishand western horses, dairy cow and calf,all the way stretched out to photography.This summer, though, she’s looking for-ward specifically to the round robin withher steer and horse. For the last fouryears, Wick has won with her horse. Hersteer, on the other hand, has received Re-serve in the last two years. She would liketo win both this year as the fair time ap-proaches.

4-H has kept Wick tied up at times, butit has helped introduce her to a lot of newpeople she probably would never metwithout the program. Through 4-H, Wickhas been introduced to the public as apositive role model for kids to recognizeand be encouraged.

“I like being a good role model. I like tobe that person that kids can look up to

and say “I want to be like that when Igrow up.” Wick said.

The unveiling of the newevent center located at the Rich-land County Fairgrounds tookplace July 14 with a large crowdtaking part in tours.

Richland County Commission-er Loren Young was one of themany residents pleased with thefacility, which cost about $3.8million to construct.

“I like it all,” Young said, not-ing the indoor facility can be uti-lized all year long. “We wantevents here.”

Young feels when the fair isheld Wednesday-Saturday manypeople will enjoy the air condi-tioned atmosphere of the build-ing.

“I think it will be a welcomebreak when people come in forsome relief from the heat,”Young said.

During a tour of the facility,

fair board member Bob Albinnoted the building has room for70 vendors during the fair.That’s compared to 44 in the oldcommercial building. Albin saidall the vendor booths for thisyear’s fair have been rented.

The center can hold between1,200 and 1,250 individuals forbanquets and receptions.Bleachers could also be put infor such activities as concerts inthe 20,000 square feet building.

A great benefit the center of-fers is the capability of being di-vided into three sections with-out the sound of one section dis-turbing people in a different sec-tion.

Albin said acoustics are out-standing in the building.

“That is one thing that we real-ly worked hard to do,” Albin saidof fair officials. “We didn’t wantthe building to echo.” The fair

This income-based/uninsured programis offered through grants in whichwomen get mammograms and cervicalscreenings they need, and it doesn’t takewriting a novel to apply. “It’s a few ques-tions where you mark with an ‘X’, signyour name, and then we’re good to go,”Idoate said.

She added, “We are having a men’s bas-ket and a women’s basket and all youhave to do is sign your name. The idea be-hind this is that cancer affects us all.”

Idoate will have information at thetable so everyone can see the “new name”of the program, which is now “MontanaCancer Control & Screening Program”since it now involves men and women.

Winning the grand and re-serve champion lamb titles isstarting to become a family af-fair. Oliver sisters, Erin, 17, andRachael, 14, have kept the titlesin the family for the last fouryears, and perhaps it’ll last an-other year.

In 2006 and 2008, Rachaelclaimed the grand championmarket lamb title while her old-er sister took reserve in 2008.That changed last year, however,when Erin finally became grandchampion. But there aren’t anybitter feelings.

“I’m the one who taught herwhat she knows...” Erin said.

The two, after all, feed andtrain their animals together ontheir ranch near Savage.They’re currently gearing up forthis year’s Richland County Fairand Rodeo.

“The fair is the highlight ofour year,” Erin said.

Both sisters have been activein the fair through the 4-H pro-gram. Erin’s been a YellowstoneValley Trailblazers member for10 years while Rachael is on herfifth year. Erin began taking adairy cow to the fair and now inaddition to the cow, takes asheep and cooking project to thefair. Rachael meanwhile does adairy project, market lamb,cooking, gardening and wood-working.

The sisters say that no matterwhat, they enjoy 4-H because ofthe leadership skills gained andthe involvement they have intheir community.

Erin is the Richland Countysenior ambassador to 4-H, which

requires her to attend statewideevents to represent the county.She is also president of the Ju-nior Leaders. Both sisters aremembers of the FFA club in Sav-age. Erin serves as presidentwhile Rachael is secretary. Bothsay 4-H has taught them to be-come active citizens and to vol-unteer their time through com-munity service.

For now, the girls are prepar-ing for the competition. When itcomes to the market lamb, theyhope to do well this year, butthey’ve got some doubts.

“We’re not happy with whatwe have,” Rachael said. Thequality they have isn’t what theyare used to this year, so they’renot sure if they’ll win. But theyhave been working with theirlambs four days a week, trainingthem to lead with one hand inorder to stand out for showman-ship, which, by the way, they’vealso won in their own divisions

Oliver sisters have good tradition in lamb events

Co-op day returns better than ever COOPERATIVES ARE BASED ON THE VAL-UES OF:

• self-help• self-responsibility • democracy • equality• equity• solidarity In the tradition of their founders, co-

operative members believe in the ethi-cal values of:

• honesty• openness• social responsibility• caring for others

GUIDELINESThe seven cooperative principles are

guidelines by which cooperatives puttheir values into practice. These are:

• voluntary and open membership• democratic member control

• member economic participation• autonomy and independence• education of members • cooperation between cooperatives• concern for the community

COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY”Cooperative businesses generate

hundreds of thousands of jobs and bil-lions in income for their communitieswhile also supporting local causes rang-ing from education to the environment.

The big difference is the members arethe owners of cooperatives. An under-lying factor is cooperatives are not in itfor profit.

If you have questions, the board of di-rectors is made up of neighbors andfriends.

Come join the cooperatives at the fair,4 p.m. Thursday for free root beer floats.

See you at the fair!

Thanks to the sponsorship of eight lo-cal cooperatives, fairgoers will again en-joy the return of the annual Co-op dayscheduled for Thursday.

The day features those free root beerfloats served by cooperative employees onthe midway from 4-6 p.m. “It's just sort ofa thank you for the area here and just afun little time,” said Diane Kalvoda, mem-ber services coordinator for Lower Yel-lowstone Rural Electric Association.

LYREA, along with Richland FederalCredit Union, CHS Inc.-Farmers Elevator,Northwest Farm Credit Services, HorizonResources, Mid-Rivers Communications,Nortana Grain Co. and Richland Farm

Mutual Insurance Company, have madeplans to participate in the co-sponsoredday.

Co-op day began about 10 years ago as away to thank the community they serve,inform area residents of their existenceand participate in the Richland CountyFair and Rodeo, the area’s biggest event ofthe year. “Now it's gotten to where every-one looks forward to it,” Kalvoda said.

A cooperative is an autonomous associ-ation of persons united voluntarily tomeet their needs and aspirations througha jointly-owned and democratically-con-trolled enterprise. The cooperative pro-vides the service, and the members con-trol the cooperative.

ATTACK

After 17 years of having the samestock contractor for the Richland Coun-ty Fair and Rodeo, the board decided itwas time for a change last year.

For the second straight year, Brook-man Rodeo Company, owned by Daveand Cathy Wieferich, Sidney, will serveas stock contractor. A three-year termstarting in 2009.

“I think a change was the big thing,”Jamie Larson, fair manager, said of thedecision made last year. “Dave andCathy give us an opportunity to stay lo-cal and keep money in the community.”

Brookman Rodeo is currently thestock contractor for 10 PRCA rodeos.

According to Brookman’s website,Brookman Rodeo was started by the lateMarvin Brookman in the early 1950s. Heput a herd of horses together whileworking with his father on the CBCs. Hehad two daughters, Reita and Cleita. Hisdaughter Reita married Jim Reinhartand together they worked on the ranchand helped out with the rodeo business.Reita timed rodeos and was active in thebusiness until the time of her death inMay of 2007. Jim continues to reside at

the ranch and helps behind the scenesfor Brookman Rodeo. Reita’s daughter,Cathy, and husband, Dave Wieferich,took over the reins managing the rodeocompany when Marvin suffered a strokein July 2002. In July 2005, Marvin Brook-man was inducted into the Pro RodeoHall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Colo.He passed away in January 2006. Marvinraised 99 percent of his bucking horsesfrom the sires Alimony, Bar Fly, IronSides, Double Deck, Medicine Man andRough Water. He raised approximately30-40 colts per year and his breeding pro-gram continues on, producing greatbuckers. Dave and Cathy continue withthe quality of bloodlines, as well as thesound production, and all other areas ofrodeo to make it great family entertain-ment.

“We’re very grateful about the oppor-tunity,” Dave Wieferich said about theRichland County Fair and Rodeo. “Wefeel it will be good for the communityand the rodeo.”

The PRCA rodeo at the fair is Thurs-day and Friday.

BY HARRY LIPSIEASIDNEY HERALD

Dedication, reliable service, affordableprices and a marketable product are all at-tributes of a successful business. Thoseingredients have also been key in the pop-ularity and establishment of the RichlandCounty baseball booth at the RichlandCounty Fair.

“It’s the program’s best fundraiser byfar,” Richland County baseball commis-sion president Jesse Nesper said. “I thinkthat’s because of the amount of volun-teers that help us out. A lot of people putin a lot of time and effort to make thebooth a positive project for the program.”

Since the project began, the programhas relied on volunteers to run the show.It’s worked out well, baseball mom, LyndaNesper, said.

“We have always had a strong number ofparents and community members step upand help us out,” Lynda, who has helpedrun the booth for the last 13 years, said.“The work pays for itself.”

The program appreciates the help its re-ceived over the year from the communityby supporting the booth. Fair patronshave often offered their help to the pro-gram during the event, commissioner JeffNesper said.

For Jeff, memories of carrying trayswhile working at the booth often duringhis childhood arise when he thinks aboutthe fair. “I think a lot of the adults andparents that volunteer now did it whenthey were a kid,” he said. “They playedbaseball here and want to give back to theprogram. We hope that cycle continuesthrough the years.”

The vision of the booth was simple: afamily-friendly environment with qualityfood and good service.

“We wanted to be a place that familiescould come sit in the shade and eat goodfood at an affordable price,” Jeff said.

Another aspect that makes the booth alocal favorite is that patrons know exactlywhat they’re getting during a visit to thefair. The booth’s structure ensures quickservice even during the busiest of hours.

“When the baseball commission decid-ed to add-on to the booth in the early 90s,the design was perfect for workers,” Jeffsaid. “The inside of the building is greatfor workers and makes it easy to servecustomers.”

The ordering system also helps thebooth’s operation run smooth. “Fred andDeAnn (Sifuentes) perfected everythingfrom the way you order to the way you re-ceive your food. Their hard work reallypaid off,” Lynda said. “It has made every-thing easy for workers and customersalike.”

But more than anything it’s simple whatmakes the booth popular: “We make goodburgers,” Jesse said.

With burgers available in either the sin-gle and double varieties, customers get ataste of the ballpark at the Richland Coun-ty Fair. The baseball burger is a popularitem featuring a fresh patty smotheredwith cheese and ham. Ice cream and rootbeer floats are also staples available at thebooth. The booth also offers a breakfastfor early risers and fair workers. New thisyear will be breakfast burritos.

The relationship between the RichlandCounty Fair and the baseball program is astrong one, Jeff said. “The fair and carni-val workers have also always supported usso well. It started a long time ago and itcontinues today.”

At the end of the day, the booth is ulti-mately in the name of baseball as all prof-its go to the Richland County baseballcommission.

“It’s all for the kids. All the time andhard work is worth it because it’s forthem,” Lynda said. “My hope is that bythe time the kids today are adults, theywill help run the booth to raise money fortheir children.”

“It’s all about saying Goodbye”

Royal West Amusement Inc.has been adding fun and excite-ment to events throughout Mon-tana since 1960. Royal’s sistercompany, Inland Empire Shows,has been in Wolf Point at thestampede for over 35 years.

The carnival adds value to anevent by bringing everythingfrom exhilarating rides andgames for all family members toa variety of foods on the midway.

The carnival brings almosteverything needed to turn anempty fairground into an amuse-ment park. Every year the ridesare a little different. Rides aremoved between two shows so thelook is always fresh.

One of the first things you no-tice about Royal West Amuse-ment is that everything is cleanand in good repair.

In show business, looking goodis good business; but in the carni-val business, safety is good busi-ness, too. Rides are inspected notonce, but twice every day, catch-

ing little things before they be-come big things.

When it comes to safety, RoyalWest Amusement is the best inthe business. This is a fact thirdgeneration carnival operator ReeWilliams is proud of.

“I’ve always been big on safety.In 1991, Royal West Amusementand Inland Empire Shows got thefirst safety award that CNA evergave a carnival, with almost 50years of insuring carnivals,”Williams said.

Royal West Amusement has amarketing team that works withnational and local sponsors to of-fer a variety of promotional tie-ins at each venue.

They were pioneers of the “payone price” admission option andoffer a true pay one price. New isan Internet coupon discount. Goto www.funnbiz.com and check itout. They also sell a pay oneprice advance sale ticket that isgood all day, any day they areopen.

Royal West Amusement returns to provide great fun
