Welcome to Your Fair ATH COUNTY F M A L K 8 AIR 201 Welcome

On behalf of the Klamath County Fair Board and Staff, we would like to welcome you to the 2018 Klamath County Fair. Let us entertain you with a fantastic carnival, daily entertainment, and great food offered by an outstanding group of Gregg Sherrill vendors. We have a wonderful concert in store for you with the new up and coming star, Cody Johnson, as well as 2 days of wild rodeo action. We would like to remind everyone that the dates of the Fair are August 2 through 5, 2018. It takes a village to raise a child and it takes the whole community to put on the fair. The 4-H and FFA youth have worked many long days and nights preparing to display their exhibits for you all to see. Please support them at the Rotary Auction on Sunday. There are many options to become involved in small and large ways. Talk to a Rotarian or stop by the Fair office to find out how. The Fair Board would like to extend our thanks to the dedicated staff at the fairgrounds and the endless 4-H and FFA volunteers. Without you, an event like this would be next to impossible. Please take time to visit all of the vendors and businesses that are here supporting our fair and enjoy all they have to offer on this fun filled weekend. In closing, we would like you to relax and enjoy the Klamath County Fair. Remember, “As you travel down the long road of life, take a deep seat, kick your feet forward, and look out for low branches.”

The eyes of a sheep are placed in such a way that they have a field of vision of around 300 degrees. This allows the sheep to see behind themselves without having to turn their heads. Found at: www.thefactsite.com Rules to live by: Your mother may have this same ability, so watch your step.

Then drop your entry in the box provided in the barn. Only one entry per species but you can enter for all eight species. The boxes can be found in the beef (1 box), swine (1 box), sheep (1 box), goat (1 box), and small animals barn (1 box for rabbit, turkey, poultry and duck combined).

TS FOR ALL FUN FAC Chicken Dance? Romancing the chicken.

2017 Grand Champion Market Poultry

Exhibited by: Sabine Graetsch Purchased by: Monte Johnson Insurance $1,100

Roosters perform a little dance called ‘tidbitting’ in which they make sounds (food calls) and move their head up and down, picking up and dropping a bit of food. Researchers have found that females prefer males that often perform tidbitting and have larger, brighter combs on top of their heads. Found at: www.thefactsite.com Rules to live by: Gentlemen, it might pay to practice your dancing skills, and wear bright colored headgear.

by Tami Thompson Anna Aylett, the new FFA Advisor from Bonanza will make her debut at the Fair this year as she takes over the long held position of Tom Hall. Anna, although new to this role, is really an old face for Bonanza as she graduated in 2006 under the tutelage of Mr. Hall, her favorite teacher. Tom shared that Anna was a key component on State and National FFA Soil Judging teams while at Bonanza High School. Mrs. Aylett graduated from OSU in 2011 with a degree in Animal Science and then went back to earn her Masters in Ag Education in 2017. As a youth, Mrs. Aylett showed rabbit, sheep and

beef at the Klamath County Fair, so this is definitely not new territory for her. When asked what her main objective for fair this year is, she was quick to reply, “I want all the students to have a good experience and to achieve some level of personal success with their projects.” Secondly, after stepping into Mr. Hall’s shoes, shoes that have tracked their way to 27 Klamath County Fairs as the Bonanza FFA advisor, she hopes just not to “drop the ball”. After meeting Anna and seeing her energy and enthusiasm I believe that ball will be crossing the goal line and scoring points for the Bonanza FFA Chapter.

Mike Romtvedt - Never Too “Tired”

Our local Tire Man, owner of Basin Tire, Mike Romtvedt is never too “tired” to help with the Fair. Romtvedt has been a mainstay for the Klamath County Fair for over a decade. He remembers his first involvment came when he was a member of the Bonanza Boosters and they jumped at the opportunity to work the gates for the Fair Board. Well once you start it is like a snowball that gains speed and the next thing he knew he was a Fair Board member.

He warmed right up when he spoke of working with Doreen Beddoe and John Hancock and the vision and belief they shared with the Fair community. He has enjoyed his work as a Fair Board member on the organizational side of the fair, creating a sustainable event that connects our community. His favorite thing about fair? “Of course,” he says with a half smile that starts as a twinkle in his eye and travels up to arch his brow, “it is the interaction of the people and to watch the kids, and everyone loves the fair!” Thank you Mike Romtvedt for your contribution to our Klamath County Fair.

Turkeys can be pretty aggressive, especially during mating season. Male turkeys work very hard to impress females. So attacking a much bigger animal — say, a human being — would probably woo the hen of their dreams. Turkeys have attacked cars, mail carriers and even their own reflections.

You can walk on water! The water balls are very simple and easy to use - just open up the zipper, enter inside, insert clean air, close the zipper and it’s ready! You can walk, jump, roll and float on water. Great FUN for young and old alike!

Euro Bungee

This amazing bungee trampoline flings you 25 ft. in the air as you jump and flip on the inflated trampolines. It’s 100% safe and 200% fun. Experience the adrenaline rush of a bungee jump, as you perform gravity-defying moves.

Rock Wall*

At about 25 feet in the air you can look around the fair, that is if you can make it to the top of the Rock Wall. Not a feat for the weak of heart, test your skill against your friends and see how far you can get. Here’s a challenge to all you up and coming rock climbers, reach for new heights! * A portion of the proceeds from the Rockwall go to the Linman Scholarship.

Rob Smets - Rodeo Announcer

While bull riding as a teenager, Smets taunted some of the bullfighters for not protecting riders well enough after the riders fell. They challenged him to try being a bullfighter himself, which he did. He made a name for himself early on distracting bulls after riders had fallen so the riders could leave the ring safely. During the 19 years of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo World Bullfighting

Championship from 1981-2000, Smets was a top 6 finisher 17 times. He also won the championship 5 times, a record. He is a 9 time PBR World Championship Bullfighter. Rob was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2006. He was inducted into the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame in April 2010. He was the inaugural recipient of the Professional Bull Rider Heroes and Legends Celebration. In 2017, Rob was inducted into the Bull Riding Hall of Fame.

According to an Ethiopian legend, the stimulating properties of coffee were discovered when a goat herder found his flock frolicking with extra verve after consuming the red berries of the coffee shrub. The plant had the same energizing effect on the herder himself—and with that, the tradition of drinking coffee was (supposedly) born. Found at: www.mentalfloss.com Rules to live by: If you’re feeling a little goaty and want that extra verve to energize your day stop by the Human Bean for a quick cup of joe!
