The Hardin Co. Hootenannies are gearing up for the fair. Our last meeting was held at Megan Williams farm when we got our entry forms filled out to turn in to show at the fair. President Megan opened the meeting and asked Landyn Hijma to lead the American pledge and Sean Hurley to lead us in the 4-H pledge.

Parent Amy Williams is making plans for the fair booth and will let us know what we will need for it at our next meeting. Parent Ernie Davis announced if anyone wanted another t-shirt or an extra for a parent, they could still order them soon for the fair.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, August 19, 2014

“A marvelous time!”

That’s how Ada Rotarian Bill Trudeau and daughter Keli, an Ada eighth grader, described their recent trip to Australia, where they attended the Rotary International Convention.

After the convention in Sydney, Bill and Keli journeyed on to Melbourne before flying home. Keli took advantage of the opportunity to visit four Australian universities, no doubt dreaming of adventures that might lie ahead.

The Trudeaus presented a program on the convention and sightseeing in Australia at the recent Ada Rotary meeting.

Over 915,000 people passed through the gates of this year’s Ohio State Fair according to The Columbus Dispatch. One Ada family was among the first day’s visitors.

Libbie Milks, with parents Beth and Mike in tow, participated in the Ohio State Junior Fair 4-H Non-Livestock Health Day. Libbie attended the fair to present her 4-H project, The Truth About Tobacco. “I used this as a follow up project from last year when I completed Drug and Alcohol Abuse,” Libbie says.

This is Libbie’s seventh year in 4-H. She has been a member of Liberty Belles and Boys 4-H Club for all seven years.

Swim at your own risk - pond infested with Golden Retrievers?

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, August 14, 2014

As the sign warns: "Swim at your own risk!"

It's doesn't mention why, however.

Could it be because the pond is infested with Golden Retrievers?

The two dogs, having a good time, are in Monty Siekerman's pond north of town. That's Caesar (Monty's Retriever) with Luke, who is holding a ball it its mouth. Luke is Harry Wilson's Retriever.

The last meeting of the Hardin Co. Hootenannies was at Meadow and Callie Cromer’s farm. President Megan Williams opened and asked Levi Beiler to lead the American Pledge and Laura Spradlin to lead the 4-H Pledge.  There were 12 members present, many parents and one special guest.

Everyone was reminded about livestock judging and asked if they needed any last minute help.  It is important to have your books completed.

Our sign for the fair is closer to being done.  Different goats are being painted on the 4-H clover.  The wonderful artist, Sara Hoenshel, who is going to be painting them, was there to meet us.
