273-2934 By Fay M. Dunbar
Nevada countys big commu_ hity “event, the 17th District
Fair is behind us. Everyone
who participated, and that's a
lot of people, have interesting
memories. I think the Fair
couldn't go on if, besides Malcolm Hammill, we didn't have
the workers like Jack Bixler
running for extra ribbons and
getting lights and locks and water
taps back in operation. And I'm
sure the Home Economics Building couldn't function without
Mrs. Loveta Hornsby also of
Rough and Ready. I think the
first of the week before the Fair
opens is as exciting as the Fair
itself. Everyone is working so
feverishly and you can see the
empty buildings blossoming into
a full blown Fair. :
’ Winning, of couse, is always
memorable. Mrs, Emile Brolin
is very proud of the hand crocheted Afghan which won her.a
blue ribbon. Nick Vogt, “who
usually has several pictures entered, has been so busy with
the cross country track event,
new with the Fair this year,
that he only got one picture entered. Young Nick has had to
move into the advanced division which has much keener
competition. His beautiful watercolor of the Vogt ranch won
third place. Mrs. Lucille McCrea.entered an oil painting of
downtown Rough and Ready in
1857%-with interesting three diWon a third place and the Lizzie
Glotzmier Trophy for the best
Nevada County: Scene. Mrs.
Elaine Vogt, many times a baked
goods sweepstakes winner has
been so busy with her new home
this. year that she thinks we'll
have a new winner.
The Rough and Ready Grange
Feature Booth took a fourth
place with a most interesting
subject Dynamic Retirement."
Mr. and Mrs, James Lawson
cochairmen of the Booth Committee asked many questions
throughout the county fo collect
-the astonishing facts about the
"dynamic" senior citizens. They
found that 70% of the Real
Estate personnel of the county
are over 50, 45% of the membership of the counties mens
service club are over 55, 80%
of all ‘hospital auxiliary
workers are over 55, 35% of
our folk dancers are over 55,
65% of our bowlers are of retirement age, 33% of all church
members are over 60, most
‘church workers are retirement
age and senior citizens own é
majority of the counties 2,729
living and travel trailers.
The Grange Ladies Garden
Display "Cool, Calm, and Collected" won a blue ribbon with
Mrs. Mary Monetas flowers,
Mrs, Donnis Davis fountain and
the hard work of Mrs. Myrtle
Hester and Mrs, Fay Dunbar.
The ladies had the help of Mr.
_ Davis, Mr, Hester, and Mr. Don
Long. At the group meeting on
Tuesday the ladies decided not
to let the District Fair down
even tho’ the committee chairman -had given up on her job.
So the four ladies “put their
shoulder to the wheel!’ and came
home with the blue ribbon.
"The Rough and Ready Fire
Dept. had some new conveniences for their pie and cake
concession. Their booth was, out
on the road toward the barns and
did a brisk business.
Rough and Ready 4-Hers particpated heartily in many events
but judging is still incomplete
and the only awards I know of
locally are for showmanship.
Kathy Fitzke won for dairy, Nola
Vogt for sheep and John Prochaska for beef.
