This was my fifth fair as the CSU Kiowa County Extension Administrative Assistant and every year I am reminded how thankful I am for so many volunteers that make fair, open class, and the junior livestock show, and sales happen.   

Thank you, Fair Manager- Donna Adame, Chairmen- Cody Fox, Vice-Chairmen- Tabatha Ferris, Director- Kip Peck, Director- Areta Laird, Director- Kent Frazee, Director- Mikaheal Rogers, Director- Trent Rittgers, Board Volunteer- Gary Wollert, and Board Volunteer- Tyler Hainer. 

The Kiowa County Fair and Rodeo has come to an end for 2023. This is a relief to many, including myself, as it has been an extremely busy summer for me and Kiowa County Extension 4-H. 

Mid-morning January 1, 2018, on my way home from the store in Sheridan Lake, I stopped and counted the airliner vapor trails crisscrossing the sky above. There were 24. Seventeen years ago, when I spent some time in Russia with an agronomy professor friend, we were the only airliner arriving. When we left, we were the only plane leaving, and Moscow is a very large city of over 12 million. This is why this volume of airline traffic was so noticed by me.
