Educational posters, cakes, cookies, pies, quilts.

Handmade goods (not limited to that list) were on display last week as local 4-H’ers from 8 to 18 years old swarmed to the Teton County Fair.

Just about every entry into the competition was a winner of first-, second- or third-place ribbons, and the majority garnered the esteemed purple ribbon, which qualifies the entry for competition in the Wyoming State Fair and Rodeo later this month in Douglas.

“It looks like they’ve given out quite a few purple ribbons today,” said Amy Wilson, a 4-H office assistant helping to administer the competition.

Judge Diane Palmer, who rated entries in the “citizenship” category, explained why it was so hard to award any poster with anything other than the sought-after purple ribbon. Poster entries, which were about what citizenship meant to the 4-H’ers, were judged on vocabulary, fluency of the subject,

attention to detail and accuracy.

“They did great,” Palmer said. “It was very interesting, and I learned so much.

“I didn’t know that we had a free clinic on Tuesday nights,” she said. “I didn’t know that we were using jeans for insulation at Habitat for Humanity houses.”

The impressive nature of the work can be traced in part to the Under the Stairs Club, a group launched years ago by a group of Jackson Hole middle schoolers. The club has evolved into the 4-H Citizenship Club and the founders are now high school seniors, well versed in issues related to diversity, volunteerism and citizenship.

They also serve as mentors to the younger members.

“We had a lot of contestants that came up in the Under the Stairs group,” judge Morgan Pereira said.

The Citizenship Club kids, she said, did well.

“A lot of the posters got purple,” Pereira said. “They were just so good. You could tell the kids were really passionate about what they were presenting.”

Goats and lambs something to smile about Showmanship winners share secrets of show ring success.

By Erika Dahlby Sarah Andrews walked out of the arena with her sheep in tow and embraced her parents after winning Reserve Champion for sheep showmanship.

“It’s nerve-wracking even though it’s just walking in a pen in circles,” she said. “You’re trying to keep eye contact and make sure your lamb is set up.”

It was Andrews’ ninth and final year showing sheep, and she was excited to go out with a ribbon in the senior division. Next year she will be attending Montana State University.

“It’s sad because I absolutely love showing my lamb,” she said. “It’s going to be a bummer when I don’t get to do it next year, but I’ll come back and help out.”

She helped a younger girl raise a lamb for the market show alongside her prize lamb, affectionately named Relationsheep.

“They’re a lot of fun to raise,” she said. “But sometimes they can be a handful. He was a lot of work.”

Wren Buchenroth said he started raising sheep because of their manageable size and temperament.

“Just look how cute they are,” he said.

Wren still has two years of showing ahead of him and a lot of promise. This year he took Grand Champion for sheep showmanship in the senior division and Reserve Champion for goat showmanship in the same division.

He’s raising five animals at home, which can be a little stressful, he said.

“You’re running around a lot and exercising them all, which can get to be a hassle,” he said.

“But it’s worth it in the end.”

Heading into the ring to show sheep can work the nerves. The lambs are 100 percent hands on and require a bit of managing if they’re not cooperating.

“Going into the ring I’m just thinking, ‘Smile and walk,’” he said. “And hoping that the animal works with me.”

Sometimes the stress of being in the arena

will make the animals freeze up and not move, but you can brace the lambs and get a little more physical, he said.

Goats are a little different, he said. They are similar in size to sheep, but more dog-like.

“They have fantastic personalities,” he said.

“They’re the kind of animal that will come running up to you.”

When goats are shown they are led with a collar instead of hands-on.

Lilly Duquette said the key is exercising and spending a lot of time with your goat.

“They’re like dogs,” she said. “I take them on walks all the time.”

Duquette raised twin boar goats this year — one for the showmanship class and the other for the market class — and took them on bike rides and up and down hills to get them in shape.

It’s only her third year showing goats, but she has become a natural with the animals in the ring.

“You never know how you’re going to do,” she said.

She proved her handling in the arena, taking home a Grand Champion ribbon. ​ ontact Erika Dahlby at 732-5909 or features2@ C jhnewsandguide.com.

Cattle, swine and chickens bring big bucks at auction 4-Hers earn top dollar for their prized livestock.

By Mark Huffman Young rancher Hailey Hardeman was ending a long relationship Friday at the Teton County Fair, a relationship with Abe, a Grand Champion angus steer she had raised from childhood — his childhood, not hers.

Abe was first among 89 lots at the annual fair livestock auction, where local people who need some meat, or want to give some to a good cause, pay too much for another good cause, usually the livestock raiser’s college fund.

The kids came with beef, swine, sheep, goats, chickens and rabbits to show off and sell.

“You never know, it can be slow,” Hardeman said right after Abe was sold. “But I’m super happy.”

Abe sold for $8.75 a pound, and there were 1,308 pounds of him to buy. He went to Babe Humphreys of the Bar J Chuckwagon.

Going even higher was Pokes, the steer of Lexi Daugherty, 18, who is off to the University of Wyoming this fall to study agriculture business. She knew prices would come with a hefty good-will bonus, with bidders often buying livestock raised by kids of friends and

business associates.

“If you go to any 4-H auction anywhere else you never get these prices,” she said.

“It’s an insane amount.”

Daugherty’s 1,358-pound steer went for $10.75 a pound to former school board trustee Patricia Russell, who acknowledged “It’s a lot of money,” but considered it well spent.

It wasn’t just prime red meat that people were willing to buy at high prices. Luka Mendes was on hand with his

chickens, which sold in lots of three rather than by the pound. Mendes lost one likely contender to a visiting coyote in the weeks before the fair, but he still had a nice trio to show.

They went for $375 for the group, sold to Susie Temple, owner of Jackson Hole Book Trader, who paid high because “I just like to support the kids.”

All the young livestock raisers said that despite good prices, it was a lot work to do

what they did.

“You get up around 6:30 and feed and wash ’em, groom ’em, then feed again around 6 o’clock,” Hardeman said. “It’s a lot.”

Mendes said taking care of chickens wasn’t that much easier than raising something that weighed hundreds of pounds. It just changed the details, he said, noting that when you clean up after poultry you have to get a lot closer to the mess — “You can’t just take a shovel to it,” he said.

They also agreed that parting with animals they had raised was a bit wrenching.

Kate Budge, 12, called her steer Wonka “the best steer you could have” but said that while she liked him, it was also nice to look forward to not taking care of him day and night.

“I like him, but I’m glad it’s over,” she said. “It’s a little bit of both. They’re sweethearts, and it’s hard to see them go. ... It’s tough.”

Hog-raising Raegin Ross, 16 — who was there with Ace, a pig she raised from 60 pounds to 273 — agreed it was a mix.

“My family grew up here, and we’ve always raised animals,” she said. “They’re fun and they have good personalities — they act just like dogs, when you get home they come running to you.”

But, she said, the parting is something you have to get used to. Among younger kids,

she said, “there’s always some tears” at auction, but when you reach her age “it’s gotten a little better.”

Ace sold for $10.75 a pound to Sam and Jennifer Clark.

Her brother, Wyatt, 12, was on hand with his own pig, King, who went for $7 a pound to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

“I miss them at the end,” he said of pigs he has raised.

“But we all took good care of them, so we know they had a good life, and we try to produce good things for the buyers.”

Teton County Extension Chairwoman Mary Martin said raising and then selling livestock had a lot to teach 4-H participants.

“It’s a lot of work for these kids,” she said, “but they learn a lot about animals and the business.

“It’s hard to see them go to slaughter, but the whole thing is great for the ag industry.”

By the time Friday’s auction was done, 4-H put a first estimate of the money taken in at $336,504.25.

Among the usual recipients of meat donated by buyers are Senior Center of Jackson Hole, Jackson Cupboard, Good Samaritan Mission, Community Safety Network, Red Top Meadows and Teton Youth and Family Services.

Tasters bring expertise to food competition Longtime 4-H volunteers help facilitate fair judging of edible entries.

By Kylie Mohr Stirring, adding, subtracting, tasting and trying again.

That’s what Teton County residents do every year in preparation for the open class food exhibit.

But volunteers and judges of the division, which includes everything from breads and rolls to candies and cookies, undergo another kind of preparation, one that involves fairness, impartiality and commitment.

“We work real hard for nonfavoritism,” volunteer Linda Delgado said.

Delgado’s been competing in the open class food division for at least 10 years, she said. Although she’s humble, it can’t help but be noted that she’s

“We work real hard for nonfavoritism.”

— Linda Delgado 4-H volunteer

the six-time grand champion of the bread category.

“I love making bread,” Delgado said. “And I like eating bread, too.”

Another volunteer, Doreen Tome, has also been involved in the process for years. Her children competed in Teton County 4-H growing up, from grades three through 12. Now they’re 25 and 20 years old, but Tome has continued to help.

“If my kids were never in 4-H, I probably would have never ended up doing this,” Tome said. “But after a while, you start picking it up.”

As the entries started to pile up — there were a lot of jams and jellies this year, Tome noted — talk of equity remained constant. Tome and Delgado handed the entries, one by one, to the judge — all the while never letting on if they knew who submitted what.

Volunteers Doreen Tome and Linda Delgado organize open class jams and jellies as they are dropped off last week at the Fair Building at the Teton County Fairgrounds.

College’s culinary program for 11 years, judged entrants this year. He also judged last year, and after multiple degrees from the Culinary Institute of America he knows what he’s talking about.

In addition to more traditional sweets there are also pickles and relishes to judge, as well as two relatively new categories: Teton County Outdoor, which included trail mixes, dried fruits and dried vegetables, and Dietary Considerations, which included gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free and eggfree concoctions.

“Choosing is actually one of the easiest parts,” Mitchell said. “It all comes down to meeting the standards of good baking.”

Mitchell pointed to a layer cake as an example.

The baker made the cake with four layers, including homemade lemon curd and frosting.

“I have to reward that kind of skill,” Mitchell said.

Mitchell began tasting the spread — of cakes,

bars, jams, jellies and more — at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

He also judged farm fresh eggs, noting their shape, appearance, color of the yolk and more.

At almost 11, he said he still had a “long way to go.”

“I take small, tiny tastes,” he said. “A lot of the judging is visual. You eat with your eyes.”

Pies, for example, need to be cut into a hearty piece. That helps Mitchell know what it will look like “on a plate with a cup of coffee.”

Because if it falls apart, how can it be sold?

With so many categories, certainly Mitchell has a favorite.

“The bars are always fun,” he said. “It’s such an open class, so there’s a lot of variety.”

And as they say, especially in baked goods, variety is the spice of life.

My oh my, kids (and adults) go face-first into a pie Competitors gulp down slices in community eating contest.

By Melissa Cassutt Jesse Blue Sheets wasn’t in it to win it.

The 5-year-old had only made his way to the stage under the big top at his mom’s urging — something she feared she would regret later if her son got sick. He really just wanted a slice of pie, and the community pie eating contest seemed like an easy way to grab one.

“He loves pie,” said his mom, Ticia Sheets. “Any kind of pie.”

But looking at her son, one of the smallest competitors behind a long table at the Teton County Fair, she smiled and said, “I don’t think he’s going to be able to eat it all.”

Jesse was one of 16 pie eaters drafted by Pippi the Clown on Saturday to hold their hands behind their backs and shove their faces into cherry and marionberry pies. The reward for the winner: four tickets to the rodeo.

Among the “brave and worthy contestants,” as deemed by Pippi, who

emceed the event, stood kids ages 4 to 11. And two adults.

“I was trying to beat him — he’s my brother,” explained Taylor Von Krosigk, 21, of her entrance into the contest against her brother, Kent.

To balance the competition the judges gave the Von Krosigk siblings full pies to consume. The kids were

challenged to eat just half.

The two youngest, ages 4 and 5, were each given a slice.

Kent Von Krosigk, 28, said the split was fair.

“We’re bigger,” he said.

And though he couldn’t pull out a win, he could see another pie eating contest in his future.

“I’d do it again right now if they wanted me to,” he said.

Competitors had different styles and strategies for shoveling the desserts down their gullets. Maria Mahood, 12, altered between big bites and small ones, and after the competition offered the following advice for future participants: “Try your best

not to choke.”

“I used my tongue a lot to lick it all up,” explained Carson Daugherty, an 11-yearold who dug into a marionberry pie in the competition.

“Then I’d use it to drag the crust.”

He anticipated he’d “probably” get sick later in the afternoon, especially once the carnival opened and he climbed onto some of the rides.

Pie eating champion, 10-year-old Nicheel Sanchez, was more confident about his ability to keep his dessert down. It was his first food competition, and his strategy — “rub my face into it” — paid off, and he was crowned the winner.

Many of the pie eaters appeared relieved when the judges called an end to the competition. Some, like the two youngest, had stopped eating before a winner was declared, having met (and surpassed) their fill of the sweet treats.

As predicted Jesse did not finish his entire ration.

“He might be over pie for a while,” his mom said with a laugh.

Sawyer Mitchell, 10, works to square up a lamb during the 4-H Round Robin competition. While Sawyer had experience with some other livestock — specifically horses and, the species he won Grand Champion with, swine — lambs and goats were a new experience.

Best of the best Showmanship champions try their hand at showing unfamiliar species.

By Melissa Cassutt

H Sawyer confers with a friend, 11-year old Gideon Wilson, who won the Round Robin competition last year in the junior division. Rabbits, the boys agreed, are the most difficult animals to show, particularly when it comes to flipping them.

Sawyer walks a Lab named Rocco before asking the dog to pick up to a trot. Later a judge posed this question: “What is a dog under 12 months called? His response: “A dog under 12 months is called ... a pup?” Points for Sawyer.

ard work, a lot of long days and a Yorkshire pig named Squirts won 10-year-old Sawyer Mitchell the Grand Champion Showmanship ribbon.

It was the first time Sawyer had taken the top prize for swine since he started in 4-H a few years ago, and he wasn’t sure if he’d ever win it again.

So when he was asked to join the 4-H Round Robin competition — an event that gathers grand champion showmen and -women and challenges them to show other breeds — he was in.

Competitors rotated through stations with steers, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, dogs and cavies, showing every species except the one they won with. Judges quizzed the 4-H’ers on the animals, prodding them with questions and asking them to demonstrate safe handling techniques.

“It’s your job to find someone beforehand who you know shows that animal,” explained 15-year-old Joni Moyer, who competed in the senior division.

Joni earned a ticket into the event by winning Grand Champion Showmanship with her 2-year-old yellow Lab, Rocco. The canine was also used in the 4-H Round Robin competition.

“He wasn’t doing that good for them,” Joni said. “I felt kind of bad.”

Three divisions — junior, intermediate and advanced — competed in the event, which 4-H Educator Katlin Pittman said gives kids hands-on experience with new animals.

Pitmann competed in a handful of round robins herself, winning four in Lincoln County as a kid.

“It certainly helped broaden my

repertoire,” she said.

In addition to the education opportunity, it also happens to be a fun event to witness.

“It’s hysterical to watch,” said Sawyer’s mom, Rebecca Mitchell.

Even the competitors can agree on that.

“Last year the steer was pretty easy and fun; so was the horse,” 11-year-old Gideon Wilson said. “The chickens and the rabbits are the hardest. I have no idea how to show those.”

This year, the News&Guide followed Sawyer, a first-time 4-H Round Robin competitor, through the paces. While he wasn’t named champion, the competition did as it was intended, opening his eyes to new 4-H opportunities, particularly with steers.

“If I could I’d show beef next,” he said.

It’s all fine with swine

Teton Media Works team finds pigs harder to wrangle than sources.

By Leonor Grave

T

he media does its fair share of dragging people through the mud (or so it’s said), so it seemed only fair that we get a little muddy ourselves.

The tables turned Thursday night, when reporters — well, a reporter, graphic designer, an ad rep and myself, a reporting intern — stepped into the mud pit of the Teton County Fair and tried to take down a hog.

With a healthy dose of trepidation and no concern for my emotional or physical well-being, I signed up for our company pig wrestling team, sarcastically named Fake News Travels Fast. Possibly in a nod to real news — which the News&Guide produces faithfully every week, rest as-

sured — or maybe just the reality of trying to stay upright in slick mud, our team actually traveled very slowly.

Teton Media Works employees Oliver O’Connor, Leonor Grave, John Spina and Ben Shafer (not pictured) fail in their attempt to put the old pig in a barrel.

Way too slow to catch a pig, as it turned out.

Town reporter John Spina, designer Ben Shafer and sales manager Oliver O’Connor joined me in the muck last week as we tried to hoist a hog into a barrel. None of us had done it before, despite O’Connor having partly grown up in Jackson Hole, Shafer having the strength to lift a hog and Spina being just reckless enough to try such a stunt on his own accord.

As for me, well, this is my first time out West, so I have an excuse. Still, I wanted to give it the old college try. I was hoping to return to the College of William and Mary this fall as a pig wrestling champion. Alas, it’s not a badge I earned.

My time in the pit was mostly spent navigating the

mud and not really touching the pig — not by choice, but because it turns out it’s pretty hard to move in mud spread out over a sheet of plastic.

But Spina told me that to gaze into the hog’s eyes, as he did on several occasions, is to gaze into the depths of your own soul. Apparently, the pit proved to be much more a spiritual experience for him than me.

Out of all of us Spina showed the most gusto in the ring. He tackled porky more than once and gave everything trying to bring the hog down. Mostly he just got dragged around the ring, but he’s a political journalist, so he’s used to that kind of muckraking.

While this was my first foray into swine battle, competitor Haley Fitzgerald had a few tricks ready for her

round. Back in her home state of Virginia she used to enter a pig scrambling competition — an event akin to pig wrestling but with less mud and more grease — at the Fauquier County Fair in Warrenton.

At the Teton County Fair she was one of the four members of the Lady Mudruggers team, made of women from the Jackson Hole Moose women’s rugby team sporting colorful neon spandex. Though they put in a valiant effort, the pig won the round.

Of her time in the ring, she said, “It depends on how much you’re willing to put up a fight and how much the pig’s willing to put up a fight.”

I won’t dispute that.

As for those who reigned supreme over swine, team Hog Wild swept the peewee division and the Sweathogs came out on top for the juniors. In the adult leagues Pork Patrol took the title for the women, and the Pig Pokes were No. 1 in the men’s division. See page 15 for results.

As for us, we didn’t even get close to cornering the pig by the time our minute ran out, let alone lifting it up.

We also didn’t win for best costume — we had a loose American theme going — nor did we receive a consolation prize, unless you count seeing Shafer in a crop top. I don’t think I do.

I was able to wash away most of the mud after a highpressure shower from a fire hose (the post-pit tradition) and another scrubbing at home. But the memories and camaraderie we forged in the mud will always remain.

Women’s division winner Jenna Malley kicks off the Xtreme Ninja competition by jumping across the first obstacle.

Xtreme ninjas show off their skills New competition highlights Jackson’s strongest (and bravest).

A

t the Xtreme Ninja competition all eyes were on the kids.

A new event this year at the Teton County Fair, the fitness eventslash-obstacle course drew a packed crowd and many competitors hoping to show their skills.

Before the adults of Jackson took their turn hopping across floating steps, climbing down a cargo net and running up a 12-foot warped wall, the kids took the stage.

Stephen Price, 15, had the honor of being the first Jacksonite to attempt the course. He fell on “cannonball alley,” a series of dangling handholds shaped like cannonballs high above the ground. And like many that night he failed at the “salmon ladder,” an obstacle that involved hurling a bar up a set of ladder rungs, each a foot apart.

“It was pretty pressuring to go first; I had never done it before,” Stephen said after his run, in between deep breaths. “I thought I had an advantage with my strength.”

One would think that the adults

would have had a serious advantage over the kids, particularly in the strength and height department. But as the youth finished and women and men took to the course, it was clear the youngsters had mastered the course just as well.

Perhaps it was their lack of fear or low weight that helped them swing, grip and climb with ease. In particular the obstacle in which participants climbed down a low-clearance cargo net tangled the adults and their long limbs, while the youth flew through it.

Jake Kravetsky, 14, trains with his family for Spartan runs, which are races mixed with obstacles. They even have a rope to climb on the side of their house. He had hoped to fly through the course and did well at first before running into a time crunch. He made his exit after the 4-minute buzzer sounded.

“It was very tough,” Jake said. “It was a fun experience though.”

Siblings Riggs and Lucy Turner also tried to conquer the course. Both did well, but when the results were tallied at the end of the competition, Lucy came out victorious.

“That was amazing, seriously,” another competitor told her as she walked off the course to a series of high-fives and compliments from fel-

Kobe Piatak was the first in the youth division to make it to the top. Certain obstacles, like the cargo net downclimb, seemed easier for the youngsters.

low attendees.

“I feel amazing,” Lucy said, hoisting a silver trophy above her head.

She completed the most obstacles in the shortest amount of time, including the warped wall that was almost three times her height.

Winners of the Xtreme Ninja competition are listed on page 15. Other fair results start on page 12.

Fairgoers fill up on sweets and greasy treats Young and old relish excuse to ‘eat gross’ with funnel cakes, corndogs and fried Twinkies.

By Clark Forster A menu packed with grease and sugar would appeal to any kid. But at the Teton County Fair the adults also have the sweet teeth and the appetites to go along with it.

Arthur and Mitsie Ruse were both chomping on funnel cake Thursday as they watched their two sons enjoy the many rides and games at the fair. Arthur Ruse said it was his second such meal of the day.

“I didn’t eat a big lunch today,” he said. “So that’s my excuse for number two.”

The Utah couple put down three funnel cakes. Both said it wasn’t the

healthiest of choices, but he said he could have done worse.

“Do you see that menu?” he asked. “This cake might as well be a breakfast muffin compared to that other stuff.”

That other stuff on the menu included corndogs, fried Snickers, fried Twinkies and chocolate-dipped cheesecake. The foods are unorthodox and are meant for “cheaters,” said Trish Roberts, of Idaho Falls.

“I planned my cheat days around

The fair gives people of all ages a good excuse to indulge in snacks not found in most homes. Fried-food connoisseurs found plenty of options, with batter-dipped Snickers, Oreos, dough and more.

our trip to Jackson,” she said. “I usually always indulge when I’m on vacation. Only this time it’s much less expensive than what I usually eat when I come here.”

Roberts said she planned on eating many a bison burger while in town. But the fair made it easy to “eat gross” because that’s what kids like to do.

“My kids are having a great time, and I am as well,” Roberts said. “I don’t have the gall to partake in a lot of these rides. But we’re in the kids’ world when we’re here and I might as well eat like my children.”

Roberts, a mother of three, said her kids are too smart to expect any of the fair items to show up on the kitchen table when they return home. Roberts said her family doesn’t go out of the way to eat healthy but won’t be mixing grease and sugar any time soon.

“I won’t feel well later,” she said.

“It’ll be an unpleasant reminder of why I don’t eat this way.”

For anyone looking to avoid a defibrillator while on vacation in Jackson, the fair had your typical less intense, unhealthy options. Pizza and cheesesteaks were served up daily,

as was corn on the cob. French fries were in abundance as well, topped with anything from chili to cheese to bacon.

Eventually, Ruse said, he would eat something that resembles a meal. But not until he’d had his fill of fair foods.

“I’m going to put something besides sugar in here at some point,” he said. “But nothing’s good for you, so I might as well get something I usually can’t.”

Paint-free paintball a big hit with young combatants New fair activity uses rubber balls for play warfare on obstacle course.

By Allie Gross After playing a few rounds of paintless paintball, kids approached fair staff to show off the small welts they got from being shot — eagerly requesting that paintless paintball be brought back for the next fair.

The Teton County Fair introduced the sport as a new attraction this year. Donning protective face masks, participants were equipped with real paintball guns that held small rubber balls without paint.

“This way kids can come in like this with their normal clothes on, play, and then just go to the fair, and they don’t have to worry about getting suits on and getting paint everywhere,” attraction manager Don Keever said. “This is just a cleaner way for everyone to enjoy it.”

A netted, inflatable course marked the boundaries of the 90-by-40-foot arena, offering scattered inflatable obstacles for strategic dodging of the rubber bullets.

RYAN DORGAN / NEWS&GUIDE/

Tipton Wilson, 13, keeps low while playing paintless paintball Thursday at the Teton County Fairgrounds. The game uses small, empty balls that can be inflated to varying pressures that determine how far they travel when shot. The balls eliminate the mess of paint.

The game’s debut was a hit: A line of kids of all ages formed outside the arena’s entrance. Players gleefully aimed at their family and friends in 4-on-4 or 5-on-5 games. The honor system governed the game: If you got shot, you were out — and the

last ones standing won.

Fair board member Gary Hardeman said paintball was added to the fair to offer more diverse activities and reach new audiences.

Paintless paintball and the Xtreme Ninja competition appealed more to young

adults, he said.

“It’s new bait,” Hardeman said. “I’ve been here for 60 years. The fair’s been the same, same, same. When I fish I change my bait once in a while, and it’s time to change.

“We have to grow and get

better,” he said.

Keever said the rubber bullet option is better than paint balls: They’re not as messy and don’t hurt as much when players are hit.

The guns can also be configured not to shoot as hard and fast for younger kids.

Taking the paint out of paintball is a new concept in the sport, Keever said, but allows more people to participate because it can be brought to public events like a fair — rather than requiring people to go to a special arena.

Pairs of siblings bringing sibling rivalries to the arena were the first to try out the new activity when it opened at 10 a.m. Thursday.

All agreed it was an exciting adrenaline rush.

With the exception of a few hiccups when the course had to be taken down to find and install some replacement parts, the paintball arena was open to fairgoers from Thursday through Sunday.

Hardeman said he heard a lot of positive feedback and wants the fair to bring back the attraction next year.
