Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.

Combine the sugar and butter; beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and pausing to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.

Gradually add the powdered sugar; blend well. Remove the bowl from the mixer.

Sift the flour with the cocoa powder; add this mixture, about 1 cup at a time, to the batter. Stir it by hand, using a wooden spoon, until the dry ingredients are just combined. Add the nuts and stir until well blended.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan; spread evenly, leveling the top with an offset or rubber spatula.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until top is set and edges are beginning to pull away from side of pan (a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake will still be gooey).

Cool upright in the pan on a wire rack until just slightly warm, about 1½ hours. Invert onto a serving plate; cool for at least 2 hours more (this will allow the filling to set).

Prepare the glaze: Sift powdered sugar and cocoa. Whisk in just enough milk for your desired drizzling consistency. Spoon the glaze over the top of the cake, allowing some to run down the sides.

DR. CORAL ASHBY 4-H LARGE ANIMAL ROUND ROBIN AWARD Dr. Coral Ashby lived and worked in Lake County for over twenty-five years. After working for both Dr. Lewis and Dr. Strong, she opened her own veterinary practice in 1992, the Main Street Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Ashby was a tenacious and focused animal health diagnostician. She was firm, patient and caring with animals and with their owners.

In 1997, Dr. Ashby was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a motor neuron disease that is sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease.

She fought a brave and tenuous battle until March of 2005. Even during her illness, Dr. Ashby attended the Lake County Fair each year, where she greatly enjoyed the 4-H Round Robin competition. Dr. Ashby loved Round Robin because it requires determination and versatility, which she admired.

Each year, a silver belt buckle is awarded to the winner of the 4-H Large Animal Round Robin Class in honor of Dr. Coral Ashby by Jaxan Christensen of Upper Lake and Carol Thorn of Lakeport.

JOHN R. HILDEBRAND, JR. FFA LARGE ANIMAL ROUND ROBIN AWARD The family of John R. Hildebrand Jr. will honor his memory by continuing his support of youth in agriculture.

The Paul and Otha Alexander Memorial Scholarship The Award: $500 scholarship and plaque

Paul Richard Alexander Jan. 13, 1918-July 25, 1998

Otha Hughlene Alexander Dec. 7, 1916-Dec. 28, 2005 Paul was a volunteer adult 4-H leader for more years than many can remember (40+years). He was involved in the very first Lake Co. Livestock auction in 1951 and never missed the event until the year of his death. Much of that time, he served as Jr. Livestock Superintendent but he volunteered in every capacity. You might notice The Paul Alexander Barn, named in his honor, located in the livestock area of the Lake Co. Fairgrounds in Lakeport. At age 76+ Paul was still cooking for the county’s Chickenque and recruiting buyers for junior livestock.

Otha was proud of her Texas roots but she followed her heart west when she married Paul, her native Californian husband. Always active in agriculture and gardening, Otha shared Paul’s commitment to 4-H and Lake County. Teacher, Home Ec Advisor, 4-H leader, Otha touched many lives.

Paul loved to “help the kids out” and he had a lot of experience to offer. Over the course of his life he’d been a cowboy, rodeo rider, WWII vet, cattleman, pear and walnut farmer, grain and hay grower, farm mechanic and school board member. He was actively involved in American Legion, Farm Bureau, PTA, Grange, ACS (Agricultural Conservation and Stabilization) and the Federal Land Bank Association.

Otha was equally active: the local Women’s Club, American Legion Auxiliary, the Redwood Iris Society, the Retired Teachers Association, and her church.

Paul and Otha had twice been honored as the Grand Marshall of the Lake Co. Fair. 4-H was very near and dear to their hearts; in fact, the two were among the founders of 4-H clubs in Ft. Jones and Upper Lake.

Paul and Otha Alexander were very special people with an exceptional sense of commitment to country and community.

It is hoped this scholarship will honor individuals with similar values; at the same time, Paul and Otha can continue doing what they loved best, “helping kids out.”

Adult’s Code of Conduct while at Lake County Fair As the parent, guardian, leader or advisor of an animal exhibitor in the Lake County Fair: I believe my child should demonstrate his or her own ability, knowledge, and skill as a feeder, fitter, and show person of a show animal. I understand that no adult may assist my child in the washing, grooming, fitting, handling, or showing of his or her animal while at the fair.

I will ensure that my child follows the competition rules, and does not use abusive, questionable or unethical techniques in the feeding, caring, fitting, or showing of any animals. I will ensure that my child does not resort to fraudulent, illegal or deceptive practices while fitting or preparing the animal for show.

I have read and understand all of the rules and regulations found in the Contest Handbook, and I understand that this form is a summary of those rules and regulations.

I realize that my child is responsible for:  The proper care and humane treatment of animals before, during, and after exhibition and sale.  The production of wholesome food when the exhibit animal is designated for market.

I will conduct myself at all times to be a credit to my child’s organization, chapter, club, school, community, and family.

I am aware that responsible alcohol use is allowed on the fairgrounds and I will limit my use of alcohol so that I set a proper example for my child and the children of others around me.

I understand that direct criticism or interference with the judge, fair or livestock show management, other exhibitors, breed representatives, or show officials before, during, or after the competitive event is prohibited. In the furtherance of their official duty, all judges, fair and livestock show management, or other show officials shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation, and respect. I will not allow any person connected with my child’s project to direct abusive or threatening conduct toward any show official.

I understand and agree that if I, my child, my child’s supervisor or leader or any other adult or minor connected with my child’s project or animal(s) break the rules, I will accept the final decision of the Fair Management regarding the disqualification of my child and/or the animal, the loss of prizes, the forfeiture of auction participation, loss of future eligibility, and forfeiture of any monetary award(s).

I accept that these entries are subject to the rules and regulations as published in the official Contest Handbook. I th agree to indemnify, defend and save harmless the State of California, the 49 District Agricultural Association, Lake County Fair, the County of Lake, officers, directors, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims and losses occurring or resulting to any and all persons in connection with my child’s participation in the fair, and from any and all claims occurring or resulting to any person, firm or corporation who may be injured or damaged as a result of my child’s participation.
