TRANSCRIPT

Special section provided by these two local publications:

Agriculture was foremostin the minds of Calhoun

County’s settlers...hence the beginnings of regional fairs

which have been held forover a century and a half.

The first fairs were held invarious locations in the cityuntil 1848 when theCalhoun CountyAgricultural Society reor-ganized the event and heldthe new 1849 gathering onCapital Hill (now known asthe fairgrounds) and made ita yearly event.

Everyone loved the Fair!Wheel of Fortune, sideshows, prize exhibits, pro-duce, livestock, horse rac-

ing, games and much more.It became one of the mainsocial gatherings of theyear. It was often the onlytime people in the morerural areas got a chance tosee old friends. Balloonascensions, daredevil acts...all became a part of “TheFair.”

Marshall High School’sfirst football game wasplayed at the fairgrounds in1894; the schools’ inexperi-

enced team was defeated byOlivet College, 60-0.

Throughout the 1950s andthe 60s, the fair grew andprospered. The gradualaddition of new and biggermechanical rides, demoli-tion derbies, big name enter-tainers and “Girlie Shows,”added to the alreadyimmense entertainment ofthe county’s masses. Thingswere good and memorieswere made.

We appreciate your businessduring the road construction!

The roar of mightyengines, thundering hooves,the shiny Midway, and the

sounds of entertainmentcoming from various stageson the grounds are all part of

the fun of the fair. Fairgoerslove their annual departurefrom the daily routine andfeel deprived if any of thesethings are missing.

Giving all of this meaning,however, are the hundreds of4-H club members for whomthe annual county fair repre-sents the accomplishment ofclearly defined goals,worked toward over many

months. During Fair Week, 2014,

as you watch the 4-Hers atthe fair, you will see a spe-cial maturity on their faces,one that reflects their know-ing they’ve done their best.

My Head to clearer thinking,My Heart to greater loyalty,My Hands to larger service, andMy Health to better living,For my club, my community,my country, and my world.

Each year hundreds ofsubmissions from non-live-stock 4-H clubs aroundCalhoun County are judgedand displayed during theannual county fair.

4-H club members workall year learning how to cre-ate projects to submit to thefair - photography, horticul-ture, sewing, knitting, foodpreparation - visitors neverknow what they’ll see duringFair Week.

Before the fair begins,youth turn in entry forms tothe fair staff who then trans-mits this information to the

4-H Extension Service whichproduces guidelines for thejudges. The Extension officelines up the judges with helpfrom the various 4-H clubsuperintendents.

On the first Saturday of thefair, all the projects are linedup on tables in the coveredarena where they are judged.Each entry is accompaniedby a records notebook eachmember is required to submitwhich includes a marketingplan for the item.

Before judging, volunteerswork in the Boys & GirlsBuilding to measure out the

space for their clubs’ boothand prepared the area toreceive the members’ proj-ects.

After judging, each clubtakes its projects to the Boys& Girls Building and sets upits booth. The booth is thenjudged based on a 4-H club’schosen theme and skill ofexecution.

Projects are on displayduring Fair Week to thedelight of parents, grandpar-ents and friends of clubmembers.

2014 CALHOUN COUNTY FAIR – Page 5

There are three storiesabout where the first demoli-tion derby was held: IslipRaceway (Long Island, NewYork); Hales CornerRaceway (Hales Corner,Wisconsin); and an unnamedtown in Ohio.

The first story is that in1958 Larry Mendelsohn, a28-year stock car driver,noticed that the most cheer-ing and excitement fromcrowds happened when carscrashed. Using this informa-tion, held the first demoli-tion derby a few years later atIslip Raceway.

The New Jersey track con-tinued to hold demos and,beginning in 1962, was fea-tured on ABC's Wide Worldof Sports almost weekly untilthe mid-‘70s. Within a fewyears, the craze swept thecountry, becoming a stapleof nearly every county fair.

Another story is that HalesCorner Raceway had demosyears prior to Islip.According to legend, "CrazyJim" Groh of Milwaukee,had a few too many cars onhis dealership lot. So he got afew people to drive them as apromotion. Many localsclaim that they had demos inthe ‘50s but actual proof hasnot been found.

The only evidence trackeddown would be back-to-backstories on Happy Days tele-vision episodes 64, 65, 66.These episodes "Fonzieloves Pinkie Part 1, 2, 3"show demolition derbies inMilwaukee.

The last account is that an

unnamed town in Ohio was ascene of road rage gone wildin the mid-’50s. Two carscollided at a busy intersec-tion and both continued tobattle it out, drawing a hugecrowd to the scene. Thisstory, however, fails to evenname a town or date, andonly gets some credibility

because Ohio is a Mecca fordemolition derbies.

All of these stories proba-bly fall in the urban mythcategory. There were surelyother demos held around thecountry during the same timeperiod but were not officiallyrecognized.(Source: Schutte Racing Team.)

Endro car racing returns to the Calhoun County Fairgrounds on Wednesday, Aug.13. The race begins at 7 p.m. in the grandstand.

The history of the demo derby

Demolition Derby isan Aug. 16 highlight

Twisted metal, smoke anddestruction are coming to theCalhoun County Fair whenthe Aug. 16 DemolitionDerby rolls into town. Thisis your best chance to safelywitness the organized chaosof multiple car crashes.

With strict rules and regu-lations in place, the exhila-rating pandemonium of thederby is very safe for thedrivers, making it one of themost unique spectacles inmotorsports.

While rules vary from

event to event, the typicaldemolition derby consists offive or more drivers compet-ing by deliberately rammingtheir vehicles into one anoth-er. The last driver whosevehicle is still operational isthe winner.

Enduro cars race to thefairgrounds for second year

Enduro car racing is aninexpensive type of automo-bile racing that takes itsname from "endurance rac-ing," since it consists of hun-dreds of laps around a desig-nated track.

Enduro racing involvesstock-based cars that havehad their interior and side orrear windows removed butare mostly stock mechanical-ly. A driver is disqualified ifthe post-race inspection findsthat his/her auto has hadmajor racing enhancements.

This type of race is often

divided into two classes: big-car and small-car. Big-carraces feature full-size carswith larger 6- and 8-cylinderengines, while small-carraces feature mid-size to sub-compact 4-cylinder makesand models.

The races, which are oftenlong ones, usually occur atthe amateur level. The carsoften take up most of thewidth of the track as theybegin from a standing start. Itis common for races to behundreds of laps or morethan 50 miles long.

Races rarely are canceledbecause of bad weather. Therace is not stopped except foran emergency or if the trackis completely blocked. When an auto breaks down,the race is temporarily haltedto move the driver to safety.The car is left in its positionon the racing surface and itbecomes an obstacle aroundwhich the remaining driversmust maneuver. Often thefastest car is not the winner,rather longevity is the key towinning.

The bouncing of cars off one another was very popular in the 1950s and remainsso to this day -- especially during Fair Week. This year’s event begins at 6:30 p.m.,Saturday, Aug. 16.

Mud racing isdown and dirty

Mud bogging (also knownas mud racing, mud running,mud drags, or mudding) is aform of off-road motorsportpopular in Canada and theUnited States in which thegoal is to drive a vehiclethrough a pit of mud of a setlength.

Winners are determined bythe distance traveled throughthe pit. However, if severalvehicles are able to travel the

entire length, the time takento traverse the pit will deter-mine the winner. Typically,vehicles competing are four-wheel drives.

Chuckwagon racing is anequestrian rodeo sport inwhich drivers in a chuck-wagon led by a team of hors-es race around a track.

This team event is led by adriver who commands ateam of horses pulling thechuckwagon, and is support-ed by two or four outriders,each racing individual thor-oughbred horses that followthe chuckwagon. Each race typically involves

three or four teams, andbegins with the outriders"breaking camp," by tossingtwo tent poles (with four out-riders only) and a barrel rep-resenting a camp stove intothe back of their wagonbefore climbing in them-selves and holding on fordear life as the wagon com-pletes a figure eight aroundtwo barrels before circling arace track.

The first wagon to cross

the finish line typically wins,although various time penal-ties are handed out for infrac-tions such as a barrel beingknocked over, a tent pole orstove is not loaded, or wagoninterference.

The event has become acrowd favorite at theCalhoun County Fair. Thisfree event takes place begin-ning at 10 a.m. onWednesday, Aug. 13, in thegrandstand.

Calhoun County Fair is steeped in historyThe Calhoun County fair-

grounds, located on CapitalHill, is home to Michigan'soldest fair and boasts the old-est fair building in the state,Floral Hall.

The fairgrounds werefounded in 1848 and featuremore than 45 acres of grassy,shaded grounds and pavedstreets. One hundred year oldoaks, beautiful landscaping a2,400-seat grandstand, enter-tainment center and campingfacilities help make the fair-grounds an excellent place tocelebrate Michigan's oldestcounty fair and other excit-ing events.

First held in 1839, theCalhoun County Fair hascontinued to this day as oneof Michigan's foremost agri-cultural attractions. Between1839 and 1847, the Fair washeld in various locationsthroughout the county. Butin 1848, the fairgrounds inMarshall became the perma-nent home for the CalhounCounty Fair, which has beenheld here ever since.

Floral Hall, the oldestbuilding on the fairgroundsand the oldest fair building inthe state, was constructed in1860 in the popular octagon

style of the time. The wingswere added at later dates.Designed originally for thedisplay of flowers and farmproduce, the building stillplays a major role at thestate's oldest county fair.

One becomes the “oldestcontinually operating fair” inthe state of Michigan bydoing things people enjoyand developing an army ofsupportive and skilled volun-teers.

The “heartbeat of theCalhoun County Fair” is itsvolunteer force. The fair isan enormous undertakingwith a physical plant with 20different buildings to main-tain and upgrade and at least60 acres to landscape andmow.

The fair board looks backwith pride at all the wonder-ful memories attributable tothe “fair history.” It also rec-ognizes the enormousresponsibly it owes the com-munity as stewards of thepresent and future, genera-tion of fair participants.

Presently, the CalhounCounty Fairgrounds propertydraws in excess of 100,000visitors a year. Add to thatthe vendors, special events,

agricultural and industrialdisplays and you get the realimpact of the association.

First held in 1839, theCalhoun County Fair hascontinued to this day asone of Michigan's foremostagricultural attractions.

The 4-H program hastouched, and in many casesshaped, the lives of thou-sands of Calhoun Countyresidents.

4-H got its start nationallyin 1902 in Iowa and Ohioand came to Michigan - toMuskegon and Mason coun-ties - in 1908.

Records indicate the first4-H director in CalhounCounty was Charles E.Ackley, who served on atemporary basis in 1917,again in 1918, and then on aregular basis from 1921-22.Other early temporary direc-tors, whose stints overlappedto varying degrees, wereLucia Converse, FrankDavis, Margaret Hutty, EdithGabriel and H. F. Herrod.

William C. Boman heldthe position from 1922-25,E. C. Sackrider from 1925-28 and Ruth K. Sackrider in

1929-30. Alice Osborn Bateswas director from 1931-35,prior to the arrival of B. E.Henry in 1936.

Michigan's 4-H programbegan with boys' corn clubs.Over the next 30 years, the 4-

H movement gave rise tosheep, poultry, canning, cakebaking and livestock clubs,as well. These clubs wereeventually linked to theNational CooperativeExtension Service system,

which was formed in 1914under the leadership of theU. S. Department ofAgriculture.

To see 4-H in action, visitthe 2014 Calhoun CountyFair.

Selecting rides that arefun, but not too scary; ridingsafely; and letting the kidsride alone or not, are just afew things to think aboutwhen looking forward to the2014 Calhoun County Fair.

“Carnival rides inMichigan are held to thehighest safety standards tokeep riders safe while enjoy-ing the roller coasters andwater slides,” saidDepartment of Licensing andRegulatory Affairs (LARA)Deputy Director ShellyEdgerton. “We ask riders todo their part and remember‘safety first.’ Read and fol-low all of the ride rules andrestrictions, and use all thesafety equipment provided,because even one injury isone too many.”

Edgerton emphasized thatif your child is too young,too small or afraid to ridealone, either skip the ridealtogether or make sure yourchild is accompanied by aresponsible adult. Kidsbetween the ages of sevenand 12 account for nearly a

third of all ride accidents.Parents should make suretheir kids understand saferide behavior.

To reduce the chance ofinjury for all ages and stillenjoy the ride, LARA offersthese tips:•Read and obey all postedrules and restrictions.•Follow all verbal instruc-tions given by ride operatorsor provided by recordedannouncements.•Make sure the ride is appro-priate for the rider.

•Pay attention to rideh e i g h t / w e i g h t / m e d i c a lrestrictions. If you have anypre-existing medical condi-tions, check with your doctorbefore riding thrill rides.

•Securely latch seat belts,shoulder harness and lapbars. Hold on to handrails;use grab bars.

•Keep hands, arms, legs,and feet inside the ride at alltimes. Do not ride with handsin the air. Secure loose hair,clothing, and belongings.

•Stay in the “locked andloaded” position for theentire ride. Never stand upon a ride.

•Adults should never seat achild on their lap unless rideoperators indicate it’s safe todo so.

•Never ride when exces-sively tired or while underthe influence of alcohol ordrugs.

•Report any unsafe behav-ior or conditions on a ride to

a ride supervisor or managerimmediately.

•Report injuries to a ridesupervisor. They will assistthe injured and report theinjury to LARA.

Contact LARA at 517-241-9202 for more informa-tion.

2014 CALHOUN COUNTY FAIR – Page 19

By Kathy Fisher4-H Program Coordinator

Calhoun County

As the Calhoun CountyFair kicks off next week,hundreds of county 4-Hmembers and volunteers areheaded to the fair to show offtheir projects and skills.While the week is the culmi-nation of a year of hard workfor some, 4-H offers manyunique opportunities notseen at fair. So whetheryou’re a young person or anadult who has time to give asa volunteer, why not join theclub?

A program of MichiganState University (MSU)Extension, Michigan 4-H isthe largest youth develop-ment program in the state.Each year, the program pro-vides more than 200,000young people with opportu-nities to explore new inter-ests, gain new knowledge,enhance their expertise anddiscover their passion whileteaching valuable life skillsthat prepare youth for thefuture.

In Calhoun County, 806youth are actively engaged in4-H, which is open to allyouth ages 5-19. Though tra-ditionally seen as a programfor youth with livestock,today 4-H has so much moreto offer. As a year-roundyouth development program,youth will have the opportu-nity to be engaged in funeducational experiences thathelp them learn valuable lifeskills throughout the entireyear. Opportunities for 4-H’ersinclude arts and crafts,sewing, food and nutrition,gardening, leadership, shoot-ing sports, livestock andmuch more.

No matter what kidschoose, all the 4-H projectshelp members learn to exem-plify the four H’s: head,heart, hands and health. Theylearn to use their head tomake sound decisions, setgoals and stick with them, aswell as to develop practical

skills needed to lead a pro-ductive and fulfilling life.

Using their heart, youthlearn to act with integrity andaccountability, and help oth-ers to become their best. Their hands are used to putthe needs of their communitybefore their own as theyserve others and they learnabout health by developingskills and knowledge toactively take care of theirminds and bodies.

With these skills, there isno limit to what youth can dowith 4-H. Leadership oppor-tunities within the club offerthem the chance to try outskills while mentoring ayounger member that is newto the group will allow mem-bers to become a teacherthemselves. In addition tocounty programs, statewide4-H programs, such asExploration Days, giveyouth the chance to meetother 4-H’ers from aroundthe state and experience whatlife on a college campus islike.

Helping to make this pos-sible for 4-H’ers in our owncommunity and across thestate are caring volunteerswho give their time and tal-ents to lend a hand, provideguidance, and answer life’slittle questions along theway. In Calhoun County,more than 300 volunteersgive their time each yearwith 176 actively involved inmentoring youth through a 4-H club. Though the impactof these volunteers is great,the need for additional 4-Hvolunteers is mounting. Witha goal of reaching 20 percentof Michigan’s youth through4-H by the year 2020, morevolunteers will be key.

If you want to make animpact on the next genera-tion, becoming a CalhounCounty 4-H volunteer is oneof the best ways you can dothat. You don’t have to be aparent or even related to a 4-H’er to get involved. Anyonecan volunteer and it’s a greatopportunity to make yourmark on the next generation.

Interested volunteers cangive their time in a variety ofways: 4-H programs rangefrom animal science tocareer preparation, clothingand textiles to science andtechnology, or performingarts to youth entrepreneur-ship. Whether you’ve got anhour to give, or want to makea year-long commitment,there’s a 4-H volunteeropportunity waiting for you.Lead a club, chaperone anevent, offer a skills training,become a mentor, teach aworkshop or whateverstrikes your interest, there isno limit to the ways you canvolunteer your time.

Whether you want to helpmake 4-Hers’ dreams cometrue as a 4-H volunteer orjoin the club yourself as a 4-H member, all of these expe-riences and more can beyours just by joining

Calhoun County 4-H. Learn more about how you

can get involved by visiting4h.msue.msu.edu or by call-ing me at the CalhounCounty MSU Extensionoffice, 269-781-0784.
