County looks to CSU for continued 4-H funding
County Commissioners approved the sending of a letter to Colorado State University asking them to continue funding for the regional Extension Agent to aid 4-H activities in the county after the departure of Bob Salzer who filled the post for 29 years. Recently, I had the pleasure of learning more about the grand 4-H family from Peg Aldridge. Peg grew up in Durango and her family has moved away and back again numerous times. Her granddaughter Gracie has been featured on the cover of two miniature Herford magazines while her other grandchildren won numerous awards at this year’s county fair. Her son-in-law Kyle Beebe is leader of the Pine River 4-H Beef Club.

La Plata County Fair – 2008
What a busy week at the La Plata County Fair. Updated daily, this project ended up with 4 slideshows, 5 videos and 4 panoramas along with a schedule of events. Yodit Gidey and Jack Pincus compiled one slideshow, while the rest was done by yours truly. The demolition derby kicked off with a tribute to State Trooper Mark Dold, who died in a motorcycle crash and had been a staple at the event. The video includes a group building a tribute car to crash in his honor. Other fair staples here include the rodeo, midway and livestock competitions. Click here or on the photo to enter project.
