Totally Dogs

Totally Dogs 4-H Club had a great dog show at the Geauga County Fair. Members competed in Showman Ship, Obedience, Rally, You and Your Dog and Costume contests. They all worked very hard this year training and working with their dogs and the hard work paid off. Everyone had fun.

Members would like to thank advisors Alicia, Mrs. Becca and Mrs. Cox for all their time and work they put into the club. It is appreciated. Members would also like to thank the judges.

As the year is quickly coming to an end, club members are looking forward to planning for next year’s fair. (Submitted by Megan Maddox, club president)

Thompson Ledge Dairymen

Thompson Ledge Dairymen 4-H Club had a great year. The club is celebrating its 80th year of helping 4-H dairy in the community.

The club showed its pride by having new club shirts made and incorporating its fair board with the current members along with the past members. Some of the pictures were dated back to the early ‘70s. It brought back many memories for so many.

The 4-H members did very well this year at the fair and brought home many ribbons. The club will be getting together this fall for a dinner to celebrate a wonderful year. All the members are already looking forward to next year. (Submitted by Matthew Burton, news reporter)

Breeders and Feeders

The 2016 Geauga County Fair was a great success and the weather could not have been better. Thank you to all that put time and effort into this wonderful fair. Also, a huge thank you to all the 2016 buyers at the junior fair livestock sale. Thank you for your support.

The club’s next event is Huntsburg Pumpkin Festival Oct. 1 and 2. There will be a wagon booth that will offer apple cider and each family is to bring baked goods to sell. Members could bring any vegetables from their garden, apple or grapes, too. The club will also have a game booth.

Don’t forget to get out there and sell those turkey raffle tickets. There is also a parade Sunday at 2:15 p.m. and members can ride on a hay wagon in the parade.  Pumpkin Festival is a mandatory event for all members.

The club’s next meeting is Nov. 6 at Munson Town Hall. It will be a potluck. (Submitted by Liesel Fenstermaker, news reporter)
