Traditions are trea-sured. They can be foundat the fair booths, saidDavid Wallace, fair boardvice president in chargeof booth rental since 1989.This year features some80 vendor booths, in-cluding old favorites.

“To the best of myknowledge, United Meth-odist Women have been avendor at the fair thelongest,” said Wallace.

Mary Jo Willoughby,member of GethsemaneUnited Methodist Churchand treasurer of the wom-en’s group, said her grouphas volunteered at Bur-lington’s fair locationsince 1942. Their special-ty? Cobblers.

“Blackberry, peachand apple,” said Willough-by. “We also have creampies and cakes and selllemonade, coffee andtea.”

The booth was namedafter one who helpedstart it, the late Ava LouWalton, mother of FairBoard President JohnWalton.

“We had a lot of wom-en who started the booth

as a mission,” she added.“I admired them somuch.”

Another tradition isthe doughnut booth,manned by the K of C(formally known as theBishop AckermanKnights of Columbus), inBurlington.

“They’ve been at thefair as long as I’ve beenin charge,” Wallace add-ed. “Many people come tothe fair just to buy theirdoughnuts.”

Keith Cahill, “chair-man of the doughnuttrailer,” says the attrac-tion is simple.

“We make everythingfresh,” said Cahill. “Wesell everything we makethat day (cinnamon sugar,powdered and plain).”

Yet another treasure isJohnson’s Country Ham,in its 31st year at the fair,where people come to gettheir “annual dose.”

“I started out (at thefair) in an old tobaccobarn,” said Johnson’sCountry Ham ownerEddie Johnson. “I gavesamples away the firstday, and gave out toomany. I started selling itthe second day.”

He’s pleasantly sur-

prised that people lovewhat he loves. “I curedthe meat for my own use.It’s just part of farming.”

And perhaps a tradi-tion in the making: Thisyear, Skidaddles, a day-care center in Florence,will offer free face paint-ing, along with prizes andgames for children. Mar-keting coordinator Heath-er Maxfield says Ski-daddles, owned by Tiffa-ny Sams, cares for chil-dren 12 months to 12years, with services frompreschool and summercamps to one-hour baby-sitting so parents can runerrands.

“I think it’s a chancefor many families to findout what we have to of-fer,” Maxfield added.

The fair stays a goodbargain, from keeping Kof C’s doughnuts at $6 perdozen, said Cahill, to of-fering the best entertain-ment value in GreaterCincinnati for only $8admission, said Wallace.

“In addition to the fairboard members, thereare well over 200 volun-teers throughout theweek that make the fairpossible,” said Wallace.

A treasured tradition.

Boone County hasearned bragging rightsfor its beautiful sightsand people. During theBoone County 4-H & Uto-pia Fair, the pageantsprove that although beau-ty might be more thanskin deep, what’s on thesurface isn’t too bad,either!

At the Boone CountyFair there’s a pageant forjust about every age ofyoung lady – and even afew for little boys.

“Miss Sweetheart”kicks off the pageants, at6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 7.Miss Sweetheart, for girlsages 8 to 13, is an eveninggown competition. Thispopular pageant costs $20to enter and is limited to60 contestants. “This isour largest pageant,” saysBeverly Burcham, pag-eant organizer. “They’renot shy at this age andthey want to be in a beau-ty contest.”

Immediately followingthe “Miss Sweetheart”competition is “MissBoone County Fair,” at 8p.m. Miss Boone CountyFair contestants must be16 to 21 years old andcompete in both an eve-ning gown and a swim-suit. They also answer aquestion at the micro-phone. This pageant costs$25; the winner then goes

on to the state competi-tion in Louisville, Ky. Justas in the state competi-tion, 20 percent of eachcontestant’s score isbased on her answer tothe question, while 40percent each is based onthe swimsuit and eveninggown.

At 6 p.m. Wednesday,Aug. 8 is the “Little Mis-ter and Miss BooneCounty” pageant. Theentry fee is $20 per cou-ple, and the children mustbe aged 5 to 8 years.(They cannot havereached their eighthbirthday by July 1.) “Iusually ask them a ques-tion, too, like ‘What doyou want to be when yougrow up?’ ” says Bur-cham.

And at 8 p.m. is the“Miss Teen” pageant forgirls aged 13 through 15.Participants wear eve-ning gowns and eachanswers a question at themicrophone. This compe-tition, which costs $20, islimited to the first 40girls.

Thursday, Friday andSaturday (Aug. 9-11) inthe morning and after-noon are baby shows forboth boys and girls (inseparate contests) ages 6months to 4 years. Theentry fee for the baby

shows is $5.There is no limit on the

number of contestantsfor Miss Boone CountyFair or Little Mister andMiss Boone County. How-ever, contestants must beresidents of Boone Coun-ty .

“Some other countiesthat are less populatedopen their pageants tocontestants from otherareas,” says Burcham.“However, Boone Countyhas enough great contes-tants all on its own.” Win-ners get to representBoone County at the state

level in Louisville in Oc-tober. Not all Kentuckycounties have fairs withbeauty pageants, Bur-cham notes. In aboutone-fifth of Kentucky’s120 counties, residentsinterested in competingin the state pageant sys-tem must enter throughother organizations suchas Lion’s Club pageants.

Registration for allpageants is due by Aug. 1.For more information onthe schedule of pageants,visit http://www.boone-countyfair.org/pag-eant.html.

Mention Kentucky andcertain things come tomind; one of them is cer-tainly horses. The BooneCounty Fair offers ahorse show reputed to beone of the favorites.

“We offer a world-class county fair,” saysLarry Burcham. Bur-cham is responsible forthe horse show Aug. 8-11.“Historically, we havegood quality stock. Only acouple of shows in centralKentucky are as big.”

This year, instead ofcompeting in a separatecategory, TennesseeWalking Horses will bepart of the Saddle Horseand Hackney Pony Showon all three nights.

Western Horses showon Monday. Aug. 6 andTuesday, Aug. 7 at 7:30p.m. and 7 p.m., respec-tively. “These are primar-ily quarter horses,” saysBurcham, “like those thatwork with cattle.” Mon-day night also has Plea-sure Horses and team-pulling events. Tuesdaynight has exciting timedactivities such as barrelraces and pole events.

Wednesday, Aug. 8offers a cornucopia ofevening events, includingAmerican Saddle, Hack-ney Ponies, Arabian,Morgan and Hunt Seathorses. “Hackney Poniesare the high-steppingponies like the ones yousee pulling the queen’scarriage,” Burchamnotes.

Wednesday, Thursdayand Friday night alsooffers the RoadstersHorses – the type thatpull sulky race carts.These events start at 8p.m.

Starting at 11:30 a.m.

and continuing through-out day on Saturday, Aug.11., the miniature horsesand the big draft horseswill be showing at oppo-site ends in the samearena, at the same time .From one end of the ven-ue to the other will be thetiniest horses to the big-gest, like the Clydesdales.

The riders run thegamut from the tiniest tothe biggest, too, saysBurcham. One of his“regulars” is an elderlylawyer from Texas whokeeps his horses in Indi-ana and faithfully returnsto the fair each year toshow.

“With our lead classesfor the little ones, wehave kids easily as youngas 3 years old and seniorsup to mid-80s,” Burchamsays. “The sky’s the lim-it.”

Larry Burcham’s fam-ily shows horses, so heknows what it’s like to bein the arena and what ittakes to put on a goodshow. “We offer a world-class county fair,” hesays. “ Exhibitors like it,too. I get notes from thembecause we have a nicecrowd for a horse show.They get the crowd thatmany fairs don’t have.”

Burcham points outthat grandstand ticketsare free. “It’s a cheap seatto sit and rest awhile. Andit’s fun to show and fun tomake a victory pass with

someone clapping foryou.”

“We have Russ Kissel’srides and shows,” saysBurcham. “He brings awonderful carnival.” The$8 entry fee to the fairgets visitors into all activ-ities, including the horseshows and all rides.There is no charge forparking. Children aged 2and under are free.

Young 4-Hers canlearn to ride a horse,whether they own one ornot.

Steve Conrad, YouthDevelopment Extensionagent in charge of thehorse programs, saidBoone County 4-H, forages 9-18, offers two drillteams, Young Guns andElite.

“Both (teams) arevolunteer-led and rely onbuilding the skill set andknowledge of the ridersthroughout the year,” saidConrad.

Joyce Voet, YoungGuns coach since it wasformed in 1999, said shegrew up with horses, andher children and theirfriends wanted to ride ona drill team, so she volun-teered.

“We do maneuvers onhorseback choreo-graphed to music,” saidVoet, whose team hasnine riders. “We performdaring crosses and preci-sion pinwheels similar tothose seen at rodeosacross the country.”

Pam Pickett, coach forthe Elite, said the first4-H drill team in BooneCounty was started in1992, but as her sons grewtoo old for 4-H, she no-ticed some of the youthcouldn’t ride like theolder skilled team riders.

“They needed confi-dence,” said Pickett, add-ing that the Elite drillteam was started somefour years ago with helpfrom Susan Elslager,owner of Johnny WalkerStables in Burlington.“Susan understood theneed for a team … formany kids who couldn’town their own horse.With her help, we startedriding lessons, leasingthem a horse that fitstheir skill.”

Often 4-Hers return

the following year withtheir own horse and helpmentor new riders.

“Susan and I help theparents get an introduc-tion to the horse world,”Pickett added. “Some willtell you that until theirchild wanted to ride,they’d never been in abarn.”

Denise and John Mik-ula of Union have 12-year-old triplets and two areElite team members:Lauren, in her secondyear, and Jack, as of Octo-ber 2011.

“Lauren saw SmartyJones win the (2004) Ken-tucky Derby and just fellin love,” said Denise.“They love Pam Pickettand they’ve gotten confi-dence and leadership.”

Kelsey Johnson, 12, ofHebron has been ridingtwo years for the Elitesand enjoys learning thetwice-a week training.

“I’d been wanting toride my whole life, and Igot to,” said Kelsey. “Youlearn how to do it at alldifferent gaits.”

The Young Guns prac-tice at Walking TallFarms in Union, ownedby Tim and KayannaBennett. Their daughtersKatlin, 19, and Megan, 17,have been team membersseveral years. Megan isriding Katlin’s horse,Chief, this year, whileKatlin mentors the group.

“I like helping to teachthem because I learned alot,” said Katlin.”It’s lot offun teaching the others.”

The two drill teamswill perform ting at 7p.m. Monday, Aug. 6 atthe Lower Horse Aarena.
