Ross Niewoehner works diligently to clean up his cow pen at the Howard County Fair. He and his family made at least 11 trips over to the fairgrounds to care for their animals.

Fair week is always filled with excitement for kids and dread for parents of 4-Hers with animals. If nothing else can keep a family together, having a kid in 4-H will. Parents need each other, grandparents, older siblings and leaders to keep track of everything that needs to be done!
Ross Niewoehner’s family is a prime example. There are always farm chores to do, but during Mighty Howard County Fair week multiply that times two and add in the 17-mile drive to the fairgrounds morning and night.
Tuesday evening Ross and family brought his and sister Jessica’s cows to the barns. They had to be unloaded, put in the pen, have bedding and be fed and watered. (Trip one)
