Fairgrounds Manager Melissa Saville said new offerings at the fair bring great experiences for attendees to make wonderful memories.Fairgoers can jump-start their Ravalli County Fair experience on Tuesday, Aug. 30, with live music featuring Shenandoah, an American country music band founded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, in 1984. “When I graduated high school, they were super-popular,” Saville said. “They still sound great.”
MICHELLE MCCONNAHA Ravalli Republic
Shenandoah hit songs include “Next to you, Next to me,” “I want to be Loved Like That,” and “Sunday in the South.”
Opening for Shenandoah is Billie Dean, William Harold Dean Jr., an American country music singer, songwriter and Grammy Award winner who gained national attention after appearing on the television talent competition “Star Search.” His most well-known songs include “Somewhere in My Broken Heart,” “An American with a Remington” and “Let Them Be Little.”“We met up with Billie Dean at a fair conference and got to jam with him live,” Saville said. “He was super nice, very per sonable.”Grandstand doors open at 6 p.m. for the concert and live music begins at 7 p.m. Purchase tickets at the fairgrounds office now and at the gate to the grandstands starting at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 30. Tickets cost $40 for general admission and $50 for Pepsi party pit arena with band. The concert is sponsored by Farmers State Bank.

Get ‘Down on the Farm’ at the Ravalli County Fair

“Down on the Farm” is the theme of the Ravalli County Fair and Rockin’ RC Rodeo this year and it has all the makings of an exceptional event after a busy year of planning.
Saville updates Facebook as often as possible before the fair begins and during the week Touch Point Design takes over the fairgrounds page to post all the events. The office will be open during the fair from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., so stop in or call 406363-3411. RR Provided photo American country music singer, songwriter, and Grammy Award winner Billie Dean will open for Shenandoah at the Ravalli County Fair at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 30.
Saville said the hardest part of giving bikes away last year was the process which was harder than she thought because of its simplicity: kids just need to be present to win and have a free ticket.“Idon’t need to know what cereal you had for breakfast, I don’t need to know your email, if you are under 12 and want to win a free bike here’s a free ticket,” Saville said. “We just drew from the tickets we gave away. People were like ‘I just won this free bike, what do I have to do for it?’ I’d say, ‘just take it, it’s yours.’”Bitterroot Health will handle the details of the Bike Giveaway this year. They will give away free tickets all day long and at 6 p.m. will draw the winning tickets, kids need to be present to win.
“Kids can then just ride off into the sunset with their new bike,” Saville said. Ravalli County Public Health will be providing free helmets to all the winners.
August has been a busy month as FFA and 4-H shows, inter view judging and project judging have already started.

Beyond the midway in the project buildings and the barns, kids from across the Bitterroot will gather for a week of inter views, weigh-ins and demonstrations designed to show off the skills and knowledge they have developed working with 4-H clubs throughout the valley. But they aren’t just learning the ins and out of feeding and caring for animals, which is a huge responsibility in itself, they’re learning to be part of a community. Kids in 4 H pro grams complete hands-on projects in areas such as health, science, agriculture and civic engagement. They also receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on leadership“They’reroles.learning the knowledge and skills specific to their project, so they’re learning a specific skill set, but in learning that specific skill set they’re also learning to work with adults as those adult volunteers help present that knowledge to them. But then they also learn leadership because then they turn around, and they demonstrate their knowledge and skills to people that are younger than them or people that are coming in that aren’t as knowledgeable,” Extension Agent Toby Wilson said.“We want it to be about taking that young person and inspiring some interest in and giving some knowledge and giv ing them that confidence in the skills and the ability to com municate and the ability to work with people of different ages, both as a learner and a leader,” Wilson said.
JESSICA ABELL Ravalli Republic
Leadership and communication aren’t the only things kids are learning in 4-H though, many are getting a first-hand lesson in economics.“They’reactually keeping record books. They’re learning how to keep records and calculate things like rate of gain on their animal. They’re calculating their feed and what their feed costs were, and how much their feeding, and how that affected the rate of gain and that type of thing on their animal,” Wilson said. “So that when they’re looking at a price that they want to sell an app, they know, kind of where their profit margin is.
Ravalli County Fair Magazine, Sunday, August 28, 2022 - 13
So they’re actually learning to run a business of sorts as they go through and, and raise these animals as well.”

And it isn’t just the kids who will be busily preparing for the events at this year’s Ravalli County Fair. From securing judges and scheduling the events time to coordinating all the kids and parents coming in to participate in those activities, it takes a small army of volunteers behind the scenes to make it all come together.“That’s one of the things that’s really surprised me, is just the amount of work that goes in to the coordinating all of this. I mean, hundreds of projects, hundreds and hundreds of proj ects and project animals and so forth,” said Wilson. “From the registration, to checking with the barn superintendents to make sure they’ve registered properly with their project. And then get ting numbers and cards set up for each one and then doing pen assignments and table assignments and the coordinating with the young people, as far as this is the time to come in to weigh in and getting the numbers and the tags correlated with the ani mals and so forth. It’s just amazing.”
“We’re going to have a good crowd,” Johnson said. “It will be fun.”Johnson became the Ravalli County Extension agent in 1972 and watched the 4-H program grow to more than 400 members with livestock, home arts and special projects.

“We’ve had many fair managers, they’re all different,” Johnson said. “The fair is a significant part of Ravalli County Extension and 4-H. I still judge some of the small events like cowboy poetry, Clover Buds and whatever else they need. I haven’t done any live stock. I haven’t really wanted to. I do go to the livestock sale and help Pat Miller and Al Sperry in the Ag Building.”

He recalled that in 2000 the fair was canceled because the Bitterroot Mountains were on fire. The fairgrounds was hous ing displaced animals and serving as a base camp for firefighters. Johnson and volunteers worked to ensure 4-H members could still sell their market animals.
“It was a big change for us not to have the fair,” Johnson said. “There was always a group of leaders that were dedicated to mak ing sure things worked out for the best for the kids.” He was especially proud of the members who took their proj ects to the national level and was most passionate about livestock at the“I’vefair.had almost 40 years of 4-H horse leader meetings and Weed District meetings,” Johnson said. “I’ve had 38 years at the fair, which is quite a while.”
Rob Johnson honored as 2022 Fair Family
Johnson said his family is coming to share the parade experi ence with him, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 31. His wife, Joan passed away in 2006, but he will be joined by his son Joel (Hamilton), his daughters Cindy (Missoula) and Kristine (Iowa), his grandchildren and a great-grandson.
Rob Johnson has been selected to be the 2022 Ravalli County Fair Farm Family for his 38 years of service at the fair and his valley-wide efforts that have helped make the Bitterroot Valley a special“Rob’splace.name was thrown in this year and when he won, we called him and he was so excited,” said Melissa Saville, fairgrounds manager. “He’s looking forward to being in the parade.”
“It was the biggest of all my programs,” he said. “We had many clubs, a lot of activity and much support.”

Johnson rounded-up volunteers and made significant improve ments to the fairgrounds including the Hornung Arena and Iman Arena, the sheep and beef showing area now used for the Saturday morning Market Livestock Sale, and the smaller show arena which has helped reduce the number of runaway pigs dur ing show day. He fondly recalled Fair Manager Ned Applebury.
As the county agent, Johnson’s contributions to Ravalli County include holding cattle and range workshops, stopping the spread
Ravalli County Fair Sunday, August 28, 2022 - 15 of noxious weeds and working with the late Bob Thoft. During the ’70s he worked with veterinarian Jack Ward to find the cause and a cure for weak calf syndrome. Johnson worked with the Western Montana Ag Research Center, especially Jim Story, to find a way to stop the spread of spotted knapweed.
Johnson has been involved with the Fourth Grade Farm Fair since its beginning.
Johnson recalls that the Bitter Root Water Form was inspired by four curious grandmothers who wanted to know how the water flowed in the Bitterroot Valley and what would preserve water“Wehealth.justwanted to know about it,” he said. “We learned about it and several years later we offered talks on how it works and how to protect it.”
“You’ve just got to be willing to work with people. You can’t decide what — it just comes to you and you have to decide it needs you, or you need to learn.”
Johnson received a national award for his efforts in these two fields.Johnson said he is proud that he has been able to be part of laying the foundations for the Right to Farm, Open Land Board on which he has served since its inception, and the Bitter Root Land Trust which works with agricultural families to protect the rural landscape and open lands that make the Bitterroot special.

“You don’t even know what you’re going to get into,” he said.
Johnson didn’t realize the impact and experiences he would have as an Extension Agent in the Bitterroot Valley.
Johnson has also been a Kiwanis for many years, starting when George Steward was the president. He has enjoyed working in the back of their booth at the fair.
Johnson was born near Glendive on an irrigated farm in eastern Montana where he helped raise sugar beets, oats, hay and corn. He herded Hereford cattle and trained horses. He gradu ated high school in 1956 in Savage, attended the University of Montana and was on its first rodeo team in 1957. He transferred to Montana State where he received a degree in agriculture exten sion. He worked as an extension agent in Mineral County and Yellowstone County. He started a family and then earned his mas ter’s degree in Lincoln, Nebraska.
“I wanted to return to Montana,” Johnson said. “I’d never been to the Bitterroot Valley before. My favorite thing at the fair is the lamb burger. I start the fair with that as my first meal, you’ve got to have one.” RR
He said the Extension department in Hamilton has undergone many“Katelynchanges.[Andersen, retired Extension Agent] was here before I retired and she has been a major factor in the modern Extension Office for MSU and Ravalli County,” Johnson said. “Jocelyn [Snider, administrative assistant] retired and is going to school to become an Episcopalian Minister. The new agent Kimberly Richardson is very capable.”

The Ravalli County Fairgrounds has a new entrance at the northwest gate with greetings painted on a huge live edge sign and the revitalized Arts Department has expansions, improve ments and
Hamilton artist Leisa Lewis painted the sign that reads “Welcome to Ravalli County Fairgrounds” on the front and “Thank you for visiting, see you again” on the back. Joel Gordon also added some branding.
Saville said Pioneer Log Homes donated the entryway and Joel Gordon of Log to Living Room donated a 26-foot board of blue pine with knots. “It is just gorgeous,” Saville said. “It was such a com munity effort by Leisa Lewis, Pigman Builders, Pioneer Log Homes, Log to Living Room, Vantassel Crane Service, and the Hamilton Trap Club.”
Melissa Saville said she and the Ravalli County Fair Board members are excited about all the modifica tions that are happening and new editions, especially the new north gate.
Photo Courtesy Doug McConnah Ran Pigman and Joel Gordon on the lift join Melissa Saville, Leisa Lewis and Larry Ward at the installation of the sign over the northwest entrance of the Ravalli County Fairgrounds.
“I know many people thought that the north parking would just be parking at fair but we’re kind of developing it to be more,” Saville said. “The motorsports are there, The Place Church is hosting archery and paintball, and the whole facility is becoming a benefit to the county. It’s been fun with parking and camping at the fair, and we’re now trying to use it more year-round.”
Improvements revitalize County Fairgrounds

Installing the new gate required special stabilizing units in the ground to ensure its sturdiness.
The sign was too large for Lewis to turn over so Larry Ward, Dan Minatre, Lane Ellis, Dan Parks, Jay Wibber and Ty Ellis, members of the Hamilton Trap Club, turned the board over for painting and weatherproofing. “I think it weighs a million pounds and because I’m painting both sides they flipped it for me,” Leisa said. “It has a heavyduty varnish and is a labor of love.”

“Gary Vantassel came down with a crane to install the entry with a lift provided by Ran Pigman of Pigman Builders,” Saville said. “We pulled out boulders and a new fence will add to the quality. Sean Jackson will be able to welcome people to his motorsports events through that gate, it will look so pretty.”
Saville said the fair is blessed to have Leisa Lewis. “Now that she’s in the premium office it’s like the next genera tion,” Saville said. “Gayle Tintzman hand-picked her personally and then trained her for a year. So, it’s the next generation of people coming to the fair.”

Becker said the goal of raising the bar and having quality dis plays is to encourage more people to enter their art at the fair.

“These displays enhance the art,” he said. “They did a good job.” “We are so happy,” Becker said. “These look so good.”
Pfaff said the displays will have lights shining onto the art. “It’s going to be a professional display this year,” she said. “When someone comes in, they bring their art which is their treasure. They feel that way or they wouldn’t put it in the fair. I believe you need to display it the most professional way you can. I believe presentation is everything.”

28 - Ravalli County Fair Magazine, Sunday, August 28, 2022 New co-superintendents for the Art Department at the Ravalli County Fair, Norma Pfaff and Trish Becker, have updated the displays and rejuvenated the department.Theyspent $3,400 and 197 volunteer hours of labor redoing the 19 large, doublesided framed units to exhibit the community art that is submitted for competition at the fair. The display units are now on wheels that lock, are lightweight due to the tran sition to insulation board on the inside and are covered with new carpeting.
There are even more additions and updates to the Ravalli County Fairgrounds, come to the fair and enjoy them all. RR Leisa Lewis paints “see you soon” on the back of the 26foot sign that will hang over the newly installed Northwest Entrance.
Becker is the president of the Bitter Root Arts Guild (BRAG) which is providing $25 premiums based on unique criteria.“We have our own ribbons, which are not the same as fair ribbons or what the fair judges judge,” Becker said. “We are in our own little category. We also give away prizes like art sup plies and puppets.”
This year the art department added a special abilities cat egory in both adult and junior departments to showcase art made by community members with special needs. She said there is a difference between art and craft. “The big distinction is that in fine art the artist creates the design, they create everything,” Pfaff said. “They buy the plate, but I buy my canvas. They design the piece, and they paint the piece. With a craft, they buy premade items and put them together, like jewelry. We do have one vendor who is a fine arts jeweler because he designs his pieces.”
“James Schmitt from All Valley Flooring gave us the carpet at a really, really good price,” Pfaff said. “We give thanks to Massa and James. These turned out so nice.”
Schmitt said that prices have increased due to freight costs.
