A great Staying Cool at the Pool Carnival,
events to
return to
local fair
BIG
move
New HVAC system at county
courthouse could mean even
bigger changes in office space
BY VICKIE MOSS
Free events increased
to entice more people to
enjoy annual county fair
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A project that is expected to improve heating and cooling at
the 113-year-old Anderson County
Courthouse also could result in permanently relocating county offices that
havent changed much since the courthouse was built in 1902, despite a multitude of changes in the way the county
conducts business.
County commissioners on June 8
signed a contract to pay $60,000 to BG
Consultants for the next phase – the
design phase – of a major HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning)
system upgrade. Under that contract,
BG Consultants will begin to design a
more energy efficient system that would
solve long-standing problems of hot and
cool spots in the countys center of government. Preliminary estimates said the
project could cost as much as $1 million
to $1.5 million; more accurate estimates
wont be available until the system is
designed.
County commissioners have spent the
better part of a year working on a plan to
improve the HVAC system. Although it
is still early in the process, the impact of
how this project could affect those who
work in or use the courthouse is starting
to become more clear.
BG Consultants recently completed

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The Anderson
County Fair will roll into town
the first week of August much
the same as it did last year,
with carnival rides and some
new events. Organizers hope to
repeat the success of last year,
which many say was the best
fair in recent years.
Much of that success was
credited to the return of a full
carnival. Anderson County had
difficulty attracting a carnival
company, primarily because the
number of carnival companies
has diminished while the number of county fairs and events
that used carnivals remains
the same. Poor attendance in
recent years at the local fair was
blamed on the lack of a carnival.
That changed last year, and
fair organizers are sticking
close to the 2014 formula. Fun
Times Carnival Rides, based in
southern Missouri, is returning and will expand last years
number of open carnival days.
The midway will be in Garnett
from Tuesday, Aug. 4, through
Saturday, Aug. 8, this year, its
final day coinciding with the
Demolition Derby Saturday.
The carnival company
requested
the change, hoping

Organizers cancel Second Saturdays
Low turn-out, support blamed
but hopes continue for new
events in downtown Garnett
BY VICKIE MOSS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Organizers in Garnett
are cancelling the remaining Second
Saturdays promotions for 2015 due to
low attendance, but they havent written
off the idea of coordinating additional
special events to drive new city activities in the future.
Weve determined what were doing
isnt getting the response and the results
we had wanted, said Creative Business
Partnerships Committee chairman Tami
Hiestand. It wouldnt make sense to
keep pressing something that people
arent interested in, so were going to
go back to the drawing board and try to
come up with something else.
The CBPC started Second Saturdays
more than a year ago with the aim of
developing foot traffic in the downtown
area throughout the day by coordinating
kids games, live musical entertainment
and a cash drawing. The promotion initially involved registrations at area businesses and restaurants, but interest in
that part of the plan waned early. While

Rainy May likely contributed to local job losses

jumps in May, state
overall holds steady

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA The rate of jobless
Anderson County residents
increased more than half
a percentage point in May,
according to a report from the
Kansas Department of Labor
released June 19.
Statewide, unemployment
was nearly steady. But in the
local region, a few nearby
counties found themselves in
the same boat as Anderson
County, while a few others
particularly those closer to
the Kansas City metro area,
like Franklin and Miami were steady.
Much of the job loss could
be attributed to rainy weather, as construction activity
slowed in May because of
adverse weather conditions.
Construction trades are a
primary source of jobs in
Anderson County.
Preliminary estimates
show Kansas lost 3,800 jobs
from April to May. Changing
seasonal factors led to a
decline in student workers
at the State universities,
said Tyler Tenbrink, Senior
Labor Economist. Also, construction activity slowed in

STEELE
June 6, 1922-June 16, 2015
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
Published June 23, 2015
Berneice Lucy Steele, a beautiful and gentle soul, completed 93
years of love and caring for others, with her passing on Tuesday,
June 16, 2015 at
Golden Heights
in Garnett.
Berneice was
born on June
6, 1922, near
Scipio, Kansas,
the
daughter of John C.
Steele
and Elizabeth
(Brummel)
Pickert. She attended school
through 8th grade at Highpoint
School, close to their farm home.
She then began working in Garnett
as a nanny for several families,
and she worked at Maries Caf.
During this time she met John
Melvin Steele, whom she married on October 27, 1941, at Holy
Angels Catholic Church in Garnett,
Kansas. Their marriage was blessed with six sons and six daughters.
After 55 years of marriage, Melvin
preceded her in death on May 30,
1997.
Berneice was a faithful member of Holy Angels Church and the
Altar Society. Her Catholic faith
was an integral part of her daily
life. She and Melvin raised a large
family and they had the garden

COURTHOUSE…
FROM PAGE 1A
a space analysis study of the
courthouse and other county-owned buildings. The study
examined current offices to
determine how people use various spaces in the courthouse
and other county-owned buildings. Commission Chairman
Jerry Howarter said the commissioners may or may not
follow the recommendations,
which would move several
offices either to other locations in the same building or to
another building entirely.
For example, Dan Harden of
BG Consultants recommends
the countys road and bridge
department would move their
offices, including the county
engineers office, and sign shop
from the county annex to a new
county shop not yet under construction. The new shop will be
at the site of a demolished former nursing home on Seventh
Street the county purchased in
a delinquent tax sale last year.
Once that move is made, the
annex will have 1,017 square
feet of available office space.
The county attorneys
office and file storage on the
second floor, as well as offices for Community Corrections
on the third floor, could move
into that annex space. The
appraisers office then could
take over the courthouse space
vacated by the county attorney
and community corrections.
The clerks office would move
across the hall and next door
to the appraisers first floor
space, while the treasurers
office would expand into vacated clerks space next door.
In addition to the new HVAC
system, county commissioners
also plan to install a new, larger elevator that would travel all
four floors, basement to third
floor.
Howarter stressed the
report offered suggestions and
no decisions about whether to
follow those recommendations
have been made.
Everything that came out
(of the study) was positive and
it gives us a bunch of options to
figure out what we want to do,
Howarter said.
When the courthouse was
built in 1902, government functions were very different from
today, the study said. License
plates and vehicle registrations
did not exist in 1902, the study
explains. Planning and zoning needs were not yet part of
the county government. Road
construction and maintenance
were handled at the township
level. Computers, printers
and electronic devices have
replaced adding machines,
manual typewriters and handwritten ledgers.
No one refinanced their
mortgage three times in 1902,
the study said. Anderson
County is an entirely different
place in 2015 than it was in
1902.
Yet, courthouse offices still
exist in roughly the same spaces as when the courthouse was
constructed. The courtroom,
clerk, treasurer and register
of deeds appear to be in their
original spaces, the study said.
Anderson County is not expected to grow significantly over
the next 10 years, though, the
study said. That means that
changes made now likely will
serve the countys needs for the
foreseeable future.
Changing the facility, as well
as the habits of those who work
and do business there, will be
an adjustment, Howarter said.
Although the county has the
option of completing all the
construction at once or doing it
in stages like a floor at a time,
engineers have recommended
it would be best to complete
all construction at once. That
could take more than a year,
and would require most, if not
all, county offices to move into
mobile units that would be
located on the one-way street
south of the courthouse. The
county already has reached
an agreement with the city to
allow such temporary units on
the one-way.
Its not going to be pleasant,
but it will be a lot more comfortable when its all done,
Howarter said of the inconvenience to staff and visitors.
Construction at the courthouse likely wouldnt begin
until the countys new shop is
up and running. That project is
still out for bids.
We have a lot going on,
Howarter said. Right now,
were taking baby steps and
trying to do it right.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 23, 2015
EDITORIAL
The way things are now
The engineers for Anderson Countys
plan to heat and cool the 1902 courthouse
said a mouthful. Let me paraphrase:
Anderson County is a far different place
in 2015 than it was in 1902.
That little nugget stuck with me
when I read it in todays paper, especially in view of an email discussion I
was involved in the tail end of last week
as a member of the Creative Business
Partnerships Committee. We were discussing the end of the Second Saturdays
promotion, why the project didnt meet
our expectations and what we might
possibly do to re-fire the engines of downtown business.
Yep, the differences are dramatic.
Think back to those Little House on
The Prairie re-runs. In 1902 Anderson
County was just like that.
Most of the local economy (and thats
the economy that counted, because even
Kansas City was a full day away) was
driven by farmers. Thats what most people did for a living. Small acreages and
family farm operations abounded, to the
point we built and staffed schools every
few miles to educate all those farm kids.
Local businesses developed for one
main purpose to serve the needs of those
farmers and the economy they survived
in. They sold clothing, boots, tools, seed,
harness, dresses for weddings, funerals
and Sunday church; the occasional photographic portrait, ice cream cone or newspaper subscription.
A small class of professionals developed to serve mostly the farm population doctors, lawyers, business people.
Whatever happened in Anderson County
if you moved here or left here, got rich
or failed outright it was directly or nearly directly related to farming.
And those consultants for the county
were right the county treasurer didnt
spend a good chunk of its time dealing
with drivers licenses and vehicle tags
because there were only about 4 four
autos in the entire county. Now my family
alone owns five.
Then things changed. Technology blossomed and reduced the number of farmers
and farms needed to produce as much
food and feedstuffs. Farms got bigger,
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
farmers got fewer. Highways connected
towns and time traveled us out of town
at 70 mph. Businesses in town that used
to serve farmers now had to find someone
else to sell their products and services to.
Many of them didnt survive, and their
tombstones vacant or vastly underused
buildings now in Garnetts downtown
mark their legacy. Our population
declined 14,000 in 1900 down to just 8,000
in 2010.
Lots of people just want to say Garnett
and the towns of Anderson County have
simply died. Yet people continue to live
here, to value the character of living in a
small town and to tolerate its shortcomings. They continue to complain about the
way things are, which says they at least
care about the way things are and can see
a better vision.
It takes more than Second Saturdays
drawings; it takes more than something
for the kids to do,; it takes more than new
schools. It takes an understanding that
the population of our county has changed
and has different needs and different
ways to satisfy those needs. Yet they stay
here. Why?
There is a reason, and there is a way to
adapt our community and our businesses to serve people the way they are now
instead of yearning back to some romantic vision of a time thats dead and gone.
Those of us whove spent decades trying to develop and maintain our community need to wrap our heads around that
fact, and wrestle up ideas that reflect the
way things are now.

Who will pick the Republicans in 2016?
The electionthe important one, for
Republican candidates for the Kansas
House and Senate in August 2016is just
starting to heat up.
No, not many candidate filings yet, no
radio and Internet commercials or those
little brochures stuck in the screen door
but that election is starting right now.
Reason? Its that of the 97 Republicans in
the Kansas House and the 32 Republicans
in the Senate, the governor-approved tax
package this session just passed by one
vote in each chamber. That means 34 of
those current House Republicans didnt
vote for the governors tax plan; 11 Senate
Republicans didnt, either. (No Democrats
voted for the package.)
Hmmm
That cant be good for a governor who
is just one year into his second and final
term in office. It means, of course, that
the Republican Party of Kansas can brag
about its overwhelming majorities, but
the titular leader of that party, Gov. Sam
Brownback, doesnt have the solid, stable
legislature that he wants to enactwell,
whatever he has left on his gubernatorial
bucket list.
Lawmakers are, for Brownbacks purposes, sorta like a dog that wont heel when
you tell it to.
So, while there is still a legislative session left before August 2016, plans are
probably starting now to prune out those
legislators who campaigned under the
Republican party label, but didnt line up
to vote for the governors tax package. They
become the problem, and for Brownbacks
purposes, might just as well have been
Democrats, or children or illegal aliens or
STATE COMMENTARY
MARTIN HAWVER, At The Rail
something else.
Practically, in most House and Senate
districts in Kansas, because a majority
of Kansans are registered as Republican
voters, once you get the GOP nomination
for the general election ballot, chances are
good that you will get to spend winters in
Topeka. Thats just the numbers.
So, for the governor, it is time to sort out
the Republicans in the Legislature, and the
governor is good at it. Look at the Kansas
Senate in 2012, when Brownback and political and financial backers pruned the State
Senate of most moderate Republicans and
boosted the GOP majority to a near-record
32 members.
But the conservative shift in that election didnt give the governor the certainty
of passage of everything he could think up,
and while he was involved in the House
elections last August and November on
behalf of Republicans, he washow do you
say itdistracted by his own reelection
campaign.
For 2016, the governor has little to do
except to dabble in the House and Senate
primary elections and the general election.
So, that sorting has started: Which legislators are keepers and which need to be
thrown back into the stream of the general
public?
For moderate Republicans, this years
tax votes show that they are closewith
the help of Democrats, of courseto the
majorities needed to repeal some of the
conservative/Brownback inspired legislation passed this year and last.
But, that comes down to those pesky voters, the ones who, having gone out to lunch
or were on vacation during the primary,
just look for the letter behind a candidates
name in November.
While Brownback and crew are pruning,
voters might want to read those brochures,
those e-mails and such, and identify that
there are conservative and moderate
Republicans, and maybe figure out where
they personally stand. Theres R, of course,
and then theres R-squared.
And Democrats? Theyll benefit from
Republican angst, when voters cant decide
whether the GOP candidate is too liberal,
too conservative, or just about right. Ever
think Republican-dominated Kansas would
come to the time when voters might have to
consider a Democrat vote the safe vote in
determining where the government goes?
It might get there next election cycle

Summer Food Program helps kids LibertyFest approaches
Letter to the Editor:
The Summer Food Service Program
(SFSP) was created to serve nutritious meals
to children when National School Lunch
and School Breakfast
Program meals are
not available. SFSP is
administered at the
Federal level by the
Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS), an
agency of the United
States Department of
Agriculture (USDA). FNS decides overall
program policy and publishes regulations
and payment rates. State education agencies administer SFSP. The Kansas State
Department of Education (KSDE) administers the SFSP in Kansas.
This is a vital program that seeks to
ensure that children do not go hungry during
the summer months when they do not have
access to the National School Lunch and
Breakfast programs. According to the 2012
Kansas Hunger Atlas, a report published
by the Kansas Association of Community
Action Programs, the childhood food insecurity rate in Anderson County is 24.3%,
meaning that nearly 500 children residing
in Anderson County are food insecure. Food
insecurity is defined as lacking reliable
access to a sufficient quantity of affordable,
nutritious food.
In a perfect world
this many children
would not be hungry.
Likewise, each of their
parents would have a
good job making a living
wage. Sadly, the world in
which we live is anything but perfect. While
our nations wealth is great, many of our fellow citizens, many of them children, continue to suffer from the hideous conditions of
poverty. ECKAN has been on the front lines
of the War on Poverty since its inception
in 1966. We remain determined to make a
difference in the communities that we serve
and sincerely believe that the Summer Food
Service Program is a making a positive difference in Garnett.
Sincerely,
Richard Jackson,
ECKAN CEO
Libertyfest for 2015
It is that time of the year to celebrate our independence
with Fireworks on July 3rd at the North Lake (raindate
July 5th).
This celebration doesnt happen without you and your
donations for the lights, explosions, bangs and bright colors that light the sky.
Please feel generous again this year by making donations at the Chamber office and/or the front gate of the
North Lake entrance. Come enjoy the Community Band,
have a picnic with your family and friends or just come
and enjoy the beautiful park and experience the fireworks
display.
This event is put on by the Garnett Area Chamber
of Commerce with the help of a lot of volunteers from
the Chamber Board, City of Garnett, Fire Department,
Trent McCown, Police Department, volunteer shooters
and many, many more people.
Please help us reach our goal to pay for the fireworks.
Thanking you in advance for your donation so that we can
continue bringing Libertyfest to Anderson County this
year and many years to come.

ever read. Everythings the governments fault, everything has to do with
the government. This about kids who
dont get to eat. Yeah, maybe some of
them have bad parents, but if their
parents are bad what do we tell them?
Youre parents are bad so you dont
get to eat? You starve? This is stupid. This is for kids who dont get to
eat, whether they have bad parents
or not. The Bible tells us we will have
the poor among us and we should take
care of them. You should crawl back
under the rock you came from and
dont come out until you evolve into a
human being with a heart.
First I hear (deleted) is coming to
the old Alco building and then I hear
theyre not. Why dont the city get hold
of Wal-Mart and have them put one of
those mini-Wal-Marts in there? Or are
we just going to let that building grow
up in weeds and fall down like our
buildings downtown?
I had a visitor the other day. Well, this
pig came by carrying his grade card.
I started a conversation with Obama
Hussein. He got aggravated, took his
grade card and went singing down the
road.
Two nights in a row whoevers playing
ball at the top field at the North Lake
dont shut the lights off and dont open
the gates. You have to go clear around
because they wont open the gates.
How does the city afford the electricity? Dont the coaches have any responsibility?

It may have been used to kill
Allied soldiers in Germany, but
the 60-year trip to Anderson
county, then to Missouri and
back to Garnett for a German
machine gun came to an end
last week. Family members of
Stephen J. Peine, a one-time
Garnett resident now deceased,
discovered the gun at his sisters
residence in Nixa, Mo., recently
while moving other guns out of
the house. A search of records
showed the Bergmann MP34

A 60-year-old water line originally designed to bring water

For the fifth month in a row,
Anderson County Hospital has
posted a profit. The hospital had
an excess of revenue of $19,075 in
May after non-patient revenue,
which includes county funding from property taxes, were
added. For the year, the hospital
is $246,501 in the black. That
figure may decrease in coming
months since summer is historically a slow period for the hospital.
A fight in Anderson County
jail left a Garnett man with a
broken kneecap and a Crawford
County prisoner with a broken
knuckle. Jailers heard the fight
and quickly broke it up. The
injured inmates refused medical treatment. The Garnett man
reported that a Crawford County
man and a Topeka man beat him
up and threatened to kill him.
No charges have been filed.

Discussion turned immediately to the recommendation
of the Garnett Cedar Valley
Reservoir Advisory Board when
Garnett City Commissioners
met Wednesday. The reservoir
advisory board recommends the
city recognize their responsibility as the law enforcement at
the reservoir immediately and
take whatever steps are necessary for adequate protection of
the area. The board asked the
city to reconsider their no stand
on swimming and allow swimming in designated areas only
and post no swimming in the
remaining areas. In response,
Mayor Claron Cole reiterated the
original purpose of the reservoir
was to provide Garnett with an
adequate water supply. Second
to this reason was it could
enhance businesses that might
consider establishing operations
in Anderson County. The third
objective was for recreation and
enjoyment by the public. There
are no funds to establish beaches
for swimming and there is probably not enough money anyway
to provide enough insurance to
protect the city, Cole explained.
wrong. (Job 1:22) Satans
response to God was Jobs faithful response was due to his own
life being spared and if God
afflicted Jobs health he would
curse God to his face. God
then allowed Satan to afflict
Job with boils from head to
foot. Jobs response was, Shall
we accept good from God and
not trouble?
Jobs worship was not a
bargain for blessing but was
founded upon trust in Gods
sovereign care. In Job 3:25 Job
says, What I feared has come
upon me; what I dreaded has
happened to me. Job understood the dilemma man faces
because of his sinful nature.
In Job 5:7 Job says, Yet man
is born to trouble as surely as
sparks fly upward. We are
born to trouble as well. I dont
believe God induces trouble on
us but he certainly allows it to
occur. Job was not sinless just
as we are not sinless. We can
suffer because of our faith or
because of a lack of faith.
Job suffered because of
his faith in God. Followers
of Christ may also face that
kind of suffering but can rest
on the work of Jesus Christ
on the cross. If we remain
faithful to God he will replace
the darkness of our existence
with the light of his presence.
If we suffer because of a lack of
faith there is a chasm or gulf of
alienation between God and us
that cannot be bridged.
Job trusted in a sovereign God
The book of Job is a personal and theological drama of
suffering and faith. Job lived
in or before the days of the
Patriarchs in the land of Uz,
east of the Jordan River. We
are not told how Job came to
know and fear God but there
is no doubt he had an understanding of God. He was a
very wealthy man with many
flocks and herds. We are told
in Job 1:1 that Job was blameless and upright; he feared God
and shunned evil. This means
simply that Job lived according
to the light he knew of God, not
that he was sinless.
Jobs integrity had not only
been noted by God but also
by Satan. Satan insisted to
God that Job only served God
because it paid him to. In his
WEEKLY
DEVOTIONAL
By David Bilderback
words (Satan), God had built
a hedge around Job and his
household and everything he
had. This is the age old accusation that one of mankinds
greatest temptations is to love
the gifts greater than the Giver,
to try and please God merely
for the sake of benefits.
The Lord permitted Satan
to try Jobs faith in God.
Blow after blow fell on Job:
his children, his servants and
his livestock were taken from
him and he was left penniless.
Nevertheless, In all this Job
did not sin or charge God with

As indicated on the tag, this promotional corkscrew was found
on the home site of Henry Roeckers grandfather.
Promotional corkscrew
has family connection
In the late 1960s, I had the
opportunity to pay a visit
with my metal detector to my
late Grandpa Roeckers home
site, located on a small hill
between Greeley and Scipio,
Kansas.
This is one of the artifacts I found that day while
there. It is a Casper Whiskey
Company Corkscrew which
dates between 1906-1916. It
was a Promotional Corkscrew
produced for the Casper
Company by Cincinnati,Ohio
Bottle Supply Company. The
Casper Company moved
to Roanoke in 1906 from
Winston Salem and operated
there until prohibition began
1916.

Optimist Club Gives Scholarships
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 6-23-2015 / Photo Submitted
On June 16, 2015 the Pieces & Patches Quilt Guild sponsored a bus trip to
the Missouri Star Quilt Company in Hamilton, Mo. There were 55 members
and friends on the trip. During the bus ride members enjoyed games related to quilting provided by Bonnie Deiter and homemade cookies provided
by the clubs scholarship winner, Seth Wolken. The group shopped the day
away in the six quilt shops affiliated with the Missouri Star Quilt company.
Since the club has no scheduled meeting in June, the nominating committee reported on the slate of officers to be voted on at the July meeting.

How to influence the influencers BUSINESS BEAT
I got an oversized postcard
in the mail the other day from
a roofing contractor who obviously wanted to sell me a new
roof. I threw the card away.
Why?
I threw it away for a couple
of reasons, and if youre a small
business looking for ways to
sell more of your products and
services (which I assume is
why youre reading this) I want
you to explore those reasons
with me.
For starters the roof on my
house and the one on my office
building are both just a few
years old, so Im not in the market. Secondly, I didnt know the
company never heard of them
before. Roofing companies can
be dubious, and I wasnt about
to spend $20,000 based just on
a postcard. In short, they had
little or no influence on me.
Everything you buy is a
result of influence of one kind
or another. Youre hungry, so
HOW TO SELL STUFF
Dane Hicks
Review Publisher
you buy a hamburger; but you
dont go to the place where you
found the hair in your French
fries that one time. Theres a
new burger place youve seen
coupons for in the paper and
your buddy told you was really
good.
Hunger is an influencer. The
hair in the French fries was an
influencer. The coupons for the
new place and your buddys
recommendation were both
influencers. But probably the
biggest influencers were your
buddy and well that hair.
We all know negativity carries more weight than positivity. A bad experience at your
business is hard to get over,
and many customers never
will. Likewise, a referral from
someone you trust, that that
business he referred, is worth
its weight in gold.
So the key to developing
your sales is to influence the
influencer.
If I owned a restaurant, Id
have a drawing every week
among all the convenience store
clerks within a 5-block area for
a free meal. Why? How many
times do you think someone
passing through your town has
stopped at a convenience store
and asked the clerk do you
know of a good restaurant in
town? There may be a number
of places to eat in your town,
but I want mine to be top-ofmind among those clerks who
influence that traffic.
Influencers by definition
always have the assumption of
credibility, and theres something about them that puts
them in the position of influence over your product or your
customers. To identify them,
you sort of have to walk backwards along the path of one of
your sales and examine who
and what were present at the
pivotal points along the way.
Just remember two things:
Avoid bad influence by making great customer experiences; and generate good influence
by building relationships with
critical people. By understanding influence and its effect on
your business, you can sell
more stuff.

FAIR…
FROM PAGE 1A
president Jess Rockers said the
change will create some concerns for organizers because
derby participants typically
utilize space near the carnival
area.
Another change last year,
aside from the return of the
carnival, was a focus on offering free events every night
of the fair. That includes the
parade and the return of a free
petting zoo, Two Girls and a
Zoo, on Tuesday, Aug. 4.
The Anderson County Fair
Tent returns Wednesday, Aug.
5, with a bigger grand prize
of $300 as well as individual
merchant prizes. A pie baking
contest and auction also return
Wednesday.
The Shodeo for local
rodeo contestants will move
to Thursday, Aug. 6, at the
request of participants. The
shodeo previously was held
Wednesday evening before the
horse show Thursday morning,
and the order apparently confused some horses who thought
they were still in rodeo mode
and not show mode.
Also on Thursday will be a
new event, Touch-A-Truck.
This free event encourages
children to get up close and personal with a variety of trucks,
from ambulances, patrol cars
and fire trucks to tow trucks
and construction vehicles.
Rockers said similar events are
quite popular at fairs and festivals across the country.
Rockers said he also encourages people to visit the 4-H and
open class displays throughout
the course of the fair. The displays showcase the talents of
Anderson County residents.
The fair wraps up with the
livestock sale Friday, Aug. 7,
followed by the demo derby
Saturday.
Rockers said he hopes people
will be just as excited to attend
this years fair as they were last
year. Ultimately, though, the
success of any outdoor event
is dependent on the weather. Temperatures were quite
pleasant last year, which likely
helped boost attendance just as
much as having a carnival did.
Its too early to predict what
the weather may be like at fair
time. Typically, early August
is hot and muggy. However,
this spring and early summer
has been marked by a series of
rainstorms. This weekend was
dry, however, with very warm
temperatures.
SATURDAYS…
FROM PAGE 1A
musical entertainment gravitated toward the evening hours
and enjoyed some success,
business support trailed off and
public attendance for daytime
events never blossomed. Helen
Norman, who worked with the
committee as a board member
of the Garnett Area Chamber
of Commerce, said Second
Saturdays built a brand of sorts
even without universal public
support.
I know a few people did a
lot to make this work and a
lot of ideas were generated to
make it successful, but attendance was lacking, Norman
said. I know the words Second
Saturdays has become a household phrase.
Organizers said Second
Saturdays fought a chicken
or the egg battle. Downtown
businesses didnt see much
point in staying open later on
Saturdays because there was
no traffic, and members of the
public didnt attend events in
part because there were no special events at local businesses.
Even so, Hiestand said one big
success to come from the events
was development and promotion of local musical talent.
We found out we have some
very talented musicians in this
part of the state, and that they
can fill up a building with a
show, Hiestand said. Thats a
big resource for us.
Committee members said
they may look toward the fall
as a new target date for another downtown event. Committee
member Dane Hicks said the
committee needs to consider
how often an event is scheduled
and how big a deal it can be.
Square Fair works, but it
wouldnt work every weekend
or every month. The same thing
with Cornstock, Hicks said.
Maybe we plan an event twice
a year downtown and make it a
bigger deal a line up of music
or a talent show with a real
prize like $1,000 or something.
Maybe even have a beer garden
downtown in the evening, he
said. If it was more infrequent
and a little bigger she-bang, it
might draw more traffic and
more energy.
You name it,
we print it.
