Year 2000 Jackson County Fair

	We were quite impressed with the size of the Jackson County Fair Grounds. This is the horse arena. The parking was very well done. There were many young attendants with flags directing traffic. It felt organized.
	This was a well laid out food area with lots of seating. The grounds were constantly being cleaned like at Disneyland.
	Large neat amusement area.
	This is Kathy Calvo the leader of Wagon Trail Beef. She was telling us that Jackson County has the largest youth livestock show and auction on the west coast.
	Cody Clark with his market steer Porter.
	Swine judging. The people in the judging ring have to use these plywood boards to herd the critters around and protect themselves from being bitten.
	4H members get involved in all aspects of raising and caring for their project animals as they grow them for market.

	Here we have 8 year old Shadra Straw and her 5 year old sister Johanna. Shadra has a horse, Johanna will in a few years. They both are learning good stuff in 4H.
	This is Dale Diebold. He works with leather and makes beautiful pieces using tools to shape the surface. This looks like a very enjoyable skill to work at.
