Another state fair honor for Duchesne County came when Scott Murdock, a member of the Dry Gulchers 4-H Club in Roosevelt, won first place in the sheep fitting fit-ting and showing contest held at the State Fair. Scott also exhibited exhibit-ed five head of Suffolks and three head of Hampshires, and brought home one blue ribbon, five red ribbons and two white ribbons. Michael Yergensen and Jean Redmond also gave the other 4-H members at the Fair something to shoot at, as each of them got a red ribbon on dairy fitting and showing, as well as a red ribbon on each of their dairy animals. The club members state it was certainly an interesting trip and they all learned a lot by attending attend-ing the State Fair. |
