Anybody who has beenaround the Jackson Coun-ty Fair over the past threedecades or more knowsWillis Hinkeldey.

If they dont know thename, theyve seen hiswork: It is everywherethroughout the fair-grounds, in the form ofsigns for all the livestockbarns, memorial benches,even malts at the JacksonCounty Dairy Associationmalt stand.

But this year he hasadded another construc-tion project to his list a livestock photo booth.And, like most thingsHinkeldey puts his handto, this photo booth is un-like any other.

Located outside OlsonPavilion, close to wherethe 4-Hers pen their ani-mals and show them, thephoto booth is big 16feet across the back and24 feet across the frontsome 10 feet high largeenough to handle even thebiggest Holstein, he said.

And, like photo backdropsat the Minnesota StateFair, Hinkeldey decidedto paint it a bright, skyblue with a sign adorn-ing its height that reads,Jackson County Fair.Beyond that, he designedit to be easily dismantledfor storage out of theweather when the fairconcludes to add to itslongevity.

Rhonda Nelson calledme in March, Hinkeldeysaid. She wanted to knowif I could make a 4-Houtdoor livestock photo

booth. I went to work thatnight designing one, madesome adjustments in itand then we decided todo it as a Delafield Dig-gers 4-H Club commu-nity pride project, as ourgrandkids are membersof the club and could helpout, along with some ofthe other club members.

So Hinkeldey got hisgrandkids and other clubmembers involved in theproject. The county fairboard agreed to pay forthe materials; all Hin-keldey and the club kids

needed to add was thelabor.

Then I realized thatthere was a lot of bleacherlumber coming out ofthe Olson Pavilion, Hin-keldey said. So I took ithome to my workshop andstarted ripping 2-by-4sout of it to build the fram-ing for the photo booth.

In that process, he end-ed up with many shortpieces of wood 72 to beexact and thats whenhe realized he had justenough short pieces tomake one of his signature

wishing wells too. But hehad already made anddonated one to the fair-grounds.

I thought maybe theRelay for Life peoplewould like to have one togive as a prize for theirfundraiser. They did, andI donated it to them afterpainting it red, white andblue, he said. It looksreal sharp.

Fair from her seat rightnext to the action withinthe Olson Pavilion hasbeen one of experience,one of interest and offamiliarity to many 4-Hfamilies.

That voice behind theloudspeaker is BrendaReschs, and the scenesthat unfold before hereyes year after year arenot unlike those from herown youth, though from adifferent perspective.

As a 4-Her, Reschbrought her own sheep,beef and hogs into thering. She knows the ex-citement of the countyfair; she knows the ex-citement of advancingbeyond the county fairtoo. And she knows whatto look for in the animalsthat are now led beforeher. She and her husband,Jim, were both membersof state-winning livestockjudg ing teams in thei ryouth, and both judgedin college. Even all fourof their children Jeff,

Sue, Teresa and Jason judged genera l livestockand meats.

But it was back whenthose children were juststarting out that the Re-sches first pitched inringside. Her father-in-law was on the sheepcommittee, so when heleft, they joined. Andwith four kids actively in-volved in showing sheep,it was only natural thatshe knew their peers. Ul-timately, she was asked toannounce, and shes beendoing it ever since.

If you know theirnames right away, its alot easier to do the an-nouncing, she said.

And the more kids sheknew, the more shows sheannounced. What started

as microphone duties forjust the sheep show nowalso includes the meatgoats, hogs, beef and rab-bits her sister-in-lawshows rabbits profes-sionally.

Through it all, the high-

lights of her announcingyears have been gettingto know the people behindeach name, watchingthem grow up. Its reallyfun to see the little onesas cloverbuds go throughand grow to become com-petitive showmen, shesaid. The work ethic ofthe kids is just amazing.You cant show livestockin Jackson County with-out putting in time andeffort. If they got out ofthe county, its like theywon the jackpot, and thestate fair was just icing onthe cake.

The former extensionservice agent and nowsixth-grade teacher inWindom apprec iatesthose lessons in workethic, citizenship and thevalue of what hard workcan do.

In a society of instantgratification, Resch said,too many people feel theydeserve something eventhough they havent donethe work.

You put in hard workand do the best you can,she said, and the rewardscome later.

4-H and the fair helpedme find some successesand Im trying to giveback, she added.

Of course, its not hardto be lured back to theshow ring and its micro-phone.

I just enjoy the fair; Ialways have, Resch said,adding that her father andbrother have been on fairboards in other counties.

And its not just herfamily that feels drawn tothe age-old meeting placeof like-minded people.

You dont do theseprojects without thewhole family, she added.Its really fun to watch as

families gather and pullout the picnic basket. ...Its a celebration of whatthey worked on all sum-mer or all year.

... I have sawdust inmy veins, I swear. I enjoythe whole atmosphere.

General 4-H projectswill get a little more ofthe limelight at this yearsJackson County Fair dur-ing the first 4-H GeneralProject Silent Auction.

Each 4-H member, ex-

cepting Cloverbuds, canenter one exhibit in theauction on entry day, atwhich time a photo of themember with the projectwill be taken and put ondisplay in the generalexhibit building until theend of the auction, Satur-day, July 27, at 6 p.m.

Like the livestock auc-tion, members will get apremium for the exhibitand will not sell the actualproject.

It s just one morething we wanted to do totry to help those kids thatare doing general projectsbe recognized for theirwork and effort similarlyto the livestock kids,

said Jackson County 4-HProgram Coordinator JenSchoenfeld. The live-stock projects get a lotmore publicity. We havean exceptional livestockprogram, but we wantedto highlight and increaseparticipants in the gen-eral project area. Some

of the projects that cometo the county fair in thegeneral project area areso extensive and so welldone, and the hours putin them are really no dif-ferent than a livestockproject.

Other counties includegeneral projects and live-stock in one live auc-tion, but Shoenfeld saidJackson County decidedto do a silent auction forgeneral projects, whichmeans the items will beup for bid all week at thefair. Exhibitors are ableto enter both the generalproject silent auction andthe livestock auction.

Hinkeldey figures heand the Delafield Dig-gers 4-H Club have abouta months worth of timeinto the creation of thephoto booth.

Tom Holthe did theconcrete pad for the photobooth earlier after the fairboard decided the loca-tion for it between the twodoors on the north side ofthe pavilion, Hinkeldeysaid. Using the recycledlumber, we saved somemoney. The plan is to putgravel in there on theconcrete and then woodchips on top of that for theanimals.

Hinkeldeys grandkidsinvolved in the project all members of theDelafield Diggers 4-HClub include Marcus,Ryan and Nathan Hin-keldey, as well as Clover-bud Noah Thomas. Hin-keldeys son-in-law, JeffThiner, has helped out

with the project as well.Tom Ignaszewskis

kids are all members ofthe Delafield Diggersclub too, Willis Hin-keldey said. Tom does alot of iron work and he isbuilding some shepherdshooks to put on the photobooth to hang flowers

In the midst of a sum-mer tour of fairs and fes-tivals, including laterdates at the Iowa andMinnesota state fairs, theband is also working onits sophomore album withNashvilles Harry Smith,best known as Clay Walk-ers lead guitar player for10 years, Steberg said.Three new songs are inthe making.

With momentum build-ing from shows at everyA-list club in the state andopening acts for severalnational artists, the bandis bringing its inimitableblending of the coun-try, rock, blues and folkgenres to a summer tourpacked with county fairs.

Having been assembledfrom all corners of theUnited States, the person-al experiences and musi-cal influences of theseperformers run deep andwide. Comprised of twocombat veterans of theIraq War, six music-com-position majors and evena Division I basketballplayer, Maiden Dixie is

an eclectic mix of inter-esting characters. Eachmembers life story hasfollowed a unique paththat has ultimately ledtoward the creation of thiscountry rock ensemble.

Booth moves fromlog cabin into thefair senior building

by MIKE JORDAN

Staff Writer

The Jackson CountyHistorical Society willtake to the Jackson Coun-ty Fair again this year,though for the 2013 edi-tion, it will have new,more highly visible quar-ters.

The historical societybooth will be set up not inthe log cabin as in yearspast, but rather in theSenior Citizen Building.

Previously we had thelog cabin open at the fair-grounds so people couldstop by and visit, saidsociety director MikeKirchmeier. But traf-fic by the log cabin andvisitors to the cabin wereminimal, so this year wehave relocated to the Se-nior Citizen Building onthe Jackson County Fair-grounds. This will giveus more visibility andmake it easier for people

attending the fair to findus this year and hopefullystop by to chat.

Kirchmeier said theold school house and theStall Church will be openas they have always been,but the log cabin will onlybe open so people canlook into it.

Kirchmeier encour-ages folks to bring in pho-tos or memories of busi-nesses, buildings, peopleor events from JacksonCountys past.

The Jackson CountyHistorical Society Mu-seum is always lookingfor historically signifi-cant photos, documentsof historical significance,as well as any items thatrelate to the people orplaces that once lived or

were located in JacksonCounty, Kirchmeier said.

Of particular interest atpresent is anything hav-ing to do with creameries.

According to Kirchmei-ers research, by 1899,there were at least 15

creameries in JacksonCounty.

With nearly all thefarmers of that era raisingdairy cows for their ownfamilys benefit, as wellas an additional source ofincome, a need developedfor a means to market thatmilk and milk productsthat resulted in the ex-pansion of creameries inJackson County, he said.In Belmont Township,there was the Browns-burg Creamery. NearClear Lake there was acreamery that served thefarmers of Des Moinesand Hunter townships.

But there were cream-eries in Heron Lake, En-terprise, Minneota, Rost,Sioux Valley, Round Lakeand Wisconsin townships

too. In fact, Kirchmei-er believes at one pointcreameries existed in ornear most of the townswithin Jackson Co unty.

As more and morefarmers brought theirmilk, butter and eggs to

town, cooperatives wereformed, he said. Thosecooperatives bought andsold in larger volume andthis allowed the farmersto share in those profits.The cooperative creamer-ies paid for the milk andcream the farmers pro-duced and made butterand cheese from it. Thenthey marketed those com-modities as well, againallowing the farmers toshare in the profits.

Since transportationwas an issue in thoseearly years of the cream-eries, many more cream-eries cropped up as timewent on since they neededto be close to their sourc-es of milk, Kirchmeieradded.

Information on those

creameries as to whenthey started up and theirclosure dates are un-known, as are, for mostof them, just who oper-

ated them and exactlywhere they were located,he said. For instance,

in conjunction with theBrownsburg Creamery inBelmont Township, therewas a cheese factory, andthere was a cheese facto-ry in Delafield Townshipas well. We dont know theyears they operated or ifthere were other cheesefactories here, but wewould like to find out.

One thing he did dis-cover in researching thecreameries is that an un-cle to Otto Timm of thefamous aviation Timmbrothers, Julius, had ason, William, who hadactually studied cheesemaking at the university.That particular Browns-burg Creamery was lo-cated on Fredrick Mal-chows land between St.Johns Church and Willow

Creek, which suppliedwater for both the cheesefactory and the creamery,Kirchmeier said.

Kirchmeier has photos

of the Okabena Creamery,the Brownsburg Cream-ery, the Rost Township

Creamery and the RoundLake Creamery that waslocated on the shores ofIllinois Lake, but he hasno other creamery photosand little information onthose businesses.

We are always look-ing for photos of JacksonCounty, whether of busi-nesses, buildings, peopleor events, he said. Wecan scan photos and re-turn them to the peopleright away. We are inter-ested in any photos, docu-ments, items and articlesabout the county and itspeople as well, and acceptdonated items of suchhistorical significance. Iencourage people to stopby and chat with me atthe Senior Citizen Build-ing this year. We will be

open from 9 a.m. to clos-ing each day of the fairthis year.

Youth 4-H and FFAprojects will be shar-ing space at the JacksonCounty Fair while fami-lies are sharing meals un-der the shade of the for-mer FFA exhibit building.

Both youth organiza-tions will have their ex-hibits in the blue building,which formerly housedcommercial exhibits.Commercial exhibitorswill take up residence inthe red building that hadbeen the 4-H building.

We needed more roomfor the 4-H general proj-ect exhibits and the moveto the blue building justmade sense, said fair

board president MikeStade. The 4-Hers havereally been working hardup there to get their newspace ready for the fair. Itlooks really nice.

The move puts 4-H gen-eral projects closer towhere the 4-H membersreally are, said JacksonCounty 4-H Program Co-ordinator Jen Schoenfeld.

Im excited at theprospect of it. It providesus with a little more spaceand display space, shesaid.

It will also be a boon tohave kids of all ages fromboth 4-H and FFA work-ing together, she said.

As for the former FFAbuilding, the east wall hasbeen removed to make ashady family food court.

It will be a nice placeto get out of the weatherand eat a bite, while stillbeing able to watch peo-ple and see whats goingon out on the grounds,Stade said.

It will also make thefair more family friendlyby creating a family din-

ing space for people whoget food from vendorsbut had no place to sit,Schoenfeld said. No foodvendors will be housedin the actual food courtbuilding.

A lot of thought andmore than one fair boardmeeting went into decid-ing on the swap, Stadesaid.

Sometimes changeisnt always easy, hesaid.

County air layout getsa thoughtul makeover

weather is OK, or possiblyin the new food court nextto the open class building.

She encourages peopleto enter the contest just

for the fun and the chal-lenge of it.

The welcoming feelinga person gets when he orshe walks onto the Jack-son County Fairgroundsis by no accident. That fa-miliar scent of fresh flow-ers and beautiful displayof artful planting is the

responsibility of Char-lotte Pell.

Pell has been ordering,planting and maintainingthe flowers at the fair-grounds for 10 years now,and its no wonder she hassuch an involvement withmaking the fairgrounds abeautiful place. She wasinvolved with 4-H as amember herself for fouryears, she was an adultleader when her boyswere in the program andshe was a correspondingleader for 12 years forthe Lakefield Hunter 4-HClub.

The fair has changeda lot since I was in 4-H,but it is still a very goodprogram for kids, Pellsaid. Thats why I dowhat I do. I believe in the

program. The leadership,

recordkeeping and orga-nization are just some ofthe skills these kids learnfrom the program.

Pell is no stranger to thegreat outdoors, either. Shegot her interest in flow-ers from her mother andgrandmother.

Im a farm girl. Ilove farming, but I dont

have the opportunity tofarm anymore, she said.Working with the dirt inmy flower beds and gar-den is a stress reliever.I do a lot of thinking outthere. Its total therapy.Youre working the earththat the good Lord gaveus.

Pell is always around tolend a helping hand to the4-H community as well.Her involvement with theLakefield Hunter club hasnever diminished.

Our county is a veryclose-knit county. We allmay be in separate clubs,but we all come together,she said. I still help outwith the club, let thembounce ideas off me andwhatever else they mightneed. Im always here

when they need me.

The glistening jarsof canned green beansand creatively craftedquilts in the 4-H build-ing at this years JacksonCounty Fair now have anopportunity to go homewith a new own-er. General proj-ect members withhome-raised orhandcrafted items

can sell them atthe 4-H FarmersMarket near thenew Family Din-ing Court theformer FFA building onFriday, July 26, from 4 to8 p.m. All proceeds go di-rectly to the 4-H memberselling the item.

It was the brainstormof one our younger mem-bers who was consideringhaving a farm-raised eggproject, said JacksonCounty 4-H Program Co-ordinator Jen Schoenfeld.She was thinking abouthow you sell those could you do it farmers-market style? The fairwould be a great place tointroduce that, and thenwe thought about open-ing it out to other 4-Hers

who might have a similarinterest.Items eligible for the

market include crafts,

fruits, vegetables andbaked goods.

Jackson Countys 4-HFarmers Market willserve as a pilot project,with the idea of possiblyreproducing the idea atother county fairs aroundthe state in the future.

Well be doing some

programming and evalu-ation of what customersfeel like they liked aboutit and what we could im-prove, and also what thekids who participate feelabout it and what theycould improve so other4-Hers can benefit fromthe same kind of con-cept, Schoenfeld said.

Taking their projectsto market also givesnon-livestock exhibitorsa chance to get a littlemore recognition for theirwork.

Were proud of ourprojects and growingthose skills businesssense and the econom-ics of food production,Schoenfeld said.

The communities ofJackson County cametogether to afford new$56,000 bleachers forthe Olson Pavilion at theJackson County Fair-grounds, just in time for

Swine exhibitors willhave the option to taketheir animals home fromthe Jackson County Fairearly this year in an at-tempt to adhere moreclosely to MinnesotaBoard of Animal HealthRecommendations for du-ration of exhibition time.

What were going to dois just lower the popula-tion within the hog barn,which will mitigate risk toany fairgoers, said Jack-son County 4-H ProgramCoordinator Jen Schoen-

feld. It really is to justmanage swine health andpublic health.

All county fair exhibitswill be released Sunday,July 28, at 9 a.m., butswine exhibitors can taketheir animals Thursday,July 25, from 7 to 9 p.m.The swine show takesplace that morning, start-ing at 7 a.m.

Its not a mandatoryrelease because we need

to work with our 4-Hfamilies also, Schoen-feld said.

The fair board coor-dinated with 4-H to finda time when truck andtrailer traffic on the fair-grounds would be leastintrusive, while still giv-ing people time to enjoythe fair and exhibit thatday, Schoenfeld said. Ad-ditionally, it will be coolerweather for moving thehogs.

While other countyfairs who have fewerswine often do not keephogs on the grounds forthe entire county fai r, the

swine project is a majorone for Jackson County,with more than 200 hogsexhibited.

Were such a hog pro-duction-centered countythat we really feel theexhibition of those proj-ects is really an importantpart of why people cometo the fair, Schoenfeldsaid, and we want tomake sure we have someof those projects there.

Swine will get to gohome early this year

Communiie come ogeher for new blechernesses about donations.Weve also received abunch of money from the4-H federation from whenthey do their auction ev-ery year. The Purple Rib-bon Club also had someextra funds that they do-nated to us to make thesebleachers possible.

The old b leacherswerent safe anymore forfairgoers due to lack ofwalking space, missinghandrails and large gaps.

The old ones weresuch a safety hazard,Phillips said. The gapsbetween rows were bigand kids could have eas-

ily slipped through. Therewerent any handrails togo up in the middle of thebleachers and, for the el-derly, there was no placeto put scooters or walk-

ers, which caused a trip-ping hazard for everyoneelse.

Phillips said if all ver-bal donation commit-ments come through from

the more than a dozencontributors, the bleach-ers will be completelypaid for. The total projectended up costing $72,500.
