Fundraising continues
to support fairground
improvements
SIDNEY — The Shelby County Fairgrounds
Improvement Campaign continues to solicit
and accept pledges and donations that will support the construction of a new grandstand and
fund other needed projects.
Campaign organizer Fair Funding, of Cincinnati, will have a booth where fair-goers can
make donations. At press time, more than 60
pledges from companies, individuals and the
State of Ohio totaled $458,000. The figure
includes gifts from every member of the Shelby
County Agricultural Society board. There are
also an additional 28
companies and individu“There are

past the fair office to
the track will be named
Cargill Way and the track will be named Cargill
Raceway, thanks to donations by the Sidney
Cargill plant. There will also be an Alvetro
Avenue and several other company and individually named streets.
“There are plenty of streets still available
for naming opportunities,” said Fair Funding’s
Steve Eddingfield.
The goal of the campaign was $1.5 million.
In January when the campaign was announced,
it was said that the $1.5 million sum would pay
for a 2,000-seat stadium with a roof, including
grounds preparation, electrical wiring within
the grandstand and lights around the track,
repay the county for its loan of $78,000 for
fundraising consultants’ fees and begin some
additional, smaller improvement projects on
the fairgrounds.
Fair Secretary Jerry Schaffner had said in
January that the goal could could be scaled
back if the initial goal seemed unachievable. In
March, he said that a simpler installation — a
grandstand with a roof — would cost about
$600,000-$800,000.
“As everyone knows, the fairgrounds are the
face of the community to thousands of people
that come to the fair each year from other
areas,” Eddingfield said. “As it continues to
be updated and improved, it will attract more
events which will directly benefit local businesses and the county overall.”

Sidney Daily News
Carload night big change for fair
By Patricia Ann Speelman
pspeelman@sidneydailynews.com
SIDNEY — Carload
Night is Monday.
The biggest news
about the 2016 Shelby
County Fair is a change
in the schedule for Carload Night. That’s the
night that fairgoers can
pile into vehicles to gain
admittance to the fair
for a reduced price. It
has been on the same
night during fair week for
many years, but this year,
it changes to Monday.
From 4 to 9 p.m., at
Gate D, vehicles will be
charged $30 no matter
how many people are
in them. The price gets
vehicle occupants admission to the fair and all
rides.
Other changes were
necessitated by scheduling two days of horse racing at the grandstand.
“The horse racing
industry in Ohio has
come back,” said Shelby
County Agricultural Society Secretary and fair
Director Jerry Schaffner.
“Because it had gone
down, we could get racing done in one night.
Having two nights means
paying another day for
the starting gate, the
photo finish (equipment),
and so on. Because of the
racinos, we get a percentage (of profits). That will
help pay for expenses. So
now, there are two nights
of racing.”
Harness races will
take place Tuesday and
Wednesday, beginning at
5 p.m.
The cheerleading competition was moved to
Sunday.
“It will be the first
night of the fair instead
of the last,” Schaffner
said. The tractor pull
has been scheduled for
Thursday and the pig and
calf scramble for Friday
night. The demolition
derby will be Saturday
night.
“Mud bogs will be
Saturday at noon and
the draft horse show will
be Friday at 9 a.m.,” he
added. In the past, the
demolition derby and
the pig and calf scramble
have drawn the largest
grandstand crowds.
This year, spectators
will be watching from
rented bleachers. The
former grandstand was
demolished in March.
The bleachers will accommodate 900 people. In
2015, the two largest
events had audiences of
about 750 people, each.
“So there should be
plenty of room,” Schaffner said. “And other
small bleachers may be
added.” Admission to
the grandstand will be
free for the cheerleading
competition, the horse
races and the human tractor pull, which is set for
Monday. A $2 admission
fee will be charged for the
demolition derby, the pig
and calf scramble and the
tractor pull.
Rabbits proliferate
Fair-goers may have to
search to see the poultry
exhibits this year. That’s
because so many rabbits
have been entered that
bunny cages will fill the
tent that usually serves
rabbits and poultry.
“They’ll be somewhere,
but not where people can
typically see them,” said
4-H Youth Development
Educator Laura Norris.
According to Norris,
after 2015’s fair that was
devoid of poultry because
of fears about avian flu,
many 4-H members who
might have had poultry
projeccts switched to
rabbits. As a result, the
Junior Fair tattooed some
700 market rabbits last
month. Exhibitors can
tattoo up to seven rabbits
but can exhibit just five,
so there won’t Norris
doesn’t expect to see 700
rabbits at the fair.
“But we’ll see 500,” she
said. In past years, 500
have been tattooed and
many fewer were exhibited.
“And that’s just market
rabbits. That doesn’t
include breeding rabbits,”
Norris said. Breeding
rabbits don’t stay at the
fair. Their owners take
them for judging on Sunday and then take them
home.
To accommodate poultry this year, pens will be
put in available areas in
Baby Land and chickens
may join ducks, geese and
turkeys in the poultry area
behind Show Arena II.
Besides rabbits, there
has also been an increase
in registrations of pygmy
goats for the 2016 fair.
Norris noted that the
week before the fair is
just as busy as fair week
for Junior Fair participants. Prefair week, as it
is known, is 4-H cooking,
sewing, craft and photography projects are judged.
“The amount of projects that the kids take is
awesome,” Norris said.
“We have a whole week
of prefair judging. Some
counties have only one
day. It’s fascinating, the
commitment these kids
have to these projects.”
Shelby County is
known especially for the
quality of its Junior Fair
photography entries.
There will be seven photography judges this year
to assess them all.
“Shelby County is one
of the top five counties in
state fair winners in photography,” Norris said.
“One of our judges is also
a state fair judge and she
says she judges more here
than at the state fair.”
Kids corn pit
Breezy Yinger, of
Jackson Center, and
Mitch Bambauer, owner
of Bambauer Fertilizer
& Seed Inc., of Jackson
Center, will install a new
attraction for the youngest fair-goers. The Kids
Corn Pit will be near the
mechanical rides and will
be open for unsupervised
play by children 5 and
younger.
“It’ll be a big sandbox
with corn instead of
sand,” Yinger said. “We’ll
have some shovels and
buckets to play with. The
area will be fenced in and
under a tent, but parents
will have to supervise
their own kids. There
won’t be someone there
all the time to watch.”
Broadbeck Seeds will
supply the tent. Bambauer will supply the corn.
The pit will be about 16
feet long, 8 feet wide
and 2 feet deep. It will
take approximately 200
bushels of corn to fill it,
Bambauer said.
“I hope this is something that can continue
(in future years), especially if kids enjoy it,”
Yinger said.
Aluminun can drive
Shelby County Animal Rescue Foundation
(SCARF) has issued
a challenge to Shelby
County 4-H clubs: The
club that takes the most
aluminum cans to the
fairgrounds during
the fair for recycling
in SCARF’s Cans for
Canines program wins a
pizza party.
4-H club members —
and the general public —
can contribute cans from
1 to 4 p.m. each day of
the fair. Cans should be
dropped off at the Shelby
County Sheriff’s outpost on the fairgrounds.
There, D.A.R.E. Officer
Brian Strunk will oversee
members of the office’s
Explorer Post, who will
weigh the cans and load
them onto trailers for
transport to the recycling
center.
Each 4-H club will be
credited with a donation
equal to the value of the
cans. If a club’s donation
reaches qualifying levels,
the club will be recognized on the wall of fame
when SCARF builds a
new animal shelter.

World of Wonders highlights fair entertainment
Tribute bands, quartets
and others slated to appear
SIDNEY — There’s all
types of entertainment at
the 156th Shelby County

able to get two shows
for the price of one and
sometimes more than
that.
The World of Wonders
Amazement Show is
bringing some out-of-this
world entertainment to
the fair, slated for July

“It’s the No. 1 side
show in the country,”
said Jerry Schaffner, fair
secretary, when the act
was signed to play at the
fair. “They play at state
shows and fairs all year
long.”
Ten acts are part of
their show. Featured acts

danger, snake charmer,
the world’s strangest
strong man and human

Clark Manson takes
a selfie on a fan’s
phone during his
performance in the
entertainment tent
at the 2015 Shelby
County Fair. Manson
will be returning
to the 2016 Shelby
County Fair when
he performs on
Saturday, July 30.
From page 5
he released “I’m On It”
and”Running With the
Night” album. His album
climbed the iTunes
charts, peaking at No. 30
on the day of its release.
He has gained more than
60,000 Twitter followers and fans around the
world.
According to his bio,
Manson memorized the
words to “Achy Breaky
Heart” when he was just
a toddler. When his parents realized how important music was to the
toddler, they took him
to any fair, festival or
concert so he could experience all types of music.
He attended a George
Strait concert when he
was five years old. He
also attended the annual
Country Concert shows
in Fort Loramie.
He received his first
guitar when he was nine
years old. He taught himself how to play it and by
the time he was 12, he
could play “Knockin’ on
Heaven’s Door.”
While perfecting his
musical talents, Manson
attended college — two
years at Wittenberg University and two years at
Wright State University.
A late night party in a
dorm room led Manson
to playing a free show
at the college. He built a
loyal fan following and he
formed a band with his
hometown friend, Nick
Christian. They were
scheduling 150 shows
around Ohio before they
knew what happened to
them.
Manson went to Nashville and recorded a project of tunes co-written
by another hometown
friend, Dustin Blythe.
A radio station in Lima,
Ohio, added some of
Manson’s songs to their
rotation.
In 2015, Manson was
booked at the Shelby
County Fair and Country
Concert. He will be making return performances
to both venues in 2016.
Special entertainment
is planned each night of
the fair at the gazebo.
Debbie Flynn will be
performing Sunday, July
24, at 6:45 p.m.
Wired for Christ will
present their show Monday, July 25, at 6:45 p.m.
Steve Rosenbeck will be
performing Tuesday, July
26, at 6:45 p.m.
The Guitar Kids will
be performing Wednesday, July 27, at 6:45 p.m.
Thick and Thin will
bring their talents to the
fair on Thursday, July 28,
at 6:45 p.m.
The First United Methodist Church Youth Band
will be performing Friday, July 29, at 6:45 p.m.
Cory Breth concludes
the week with his performance Saturday, July 30,
at 6:45 p.m.

Iconic rides return to fair
SIDNEY — The Shelby
County Fair’s midway will feature two iconic rides this year
that have not been part of the
Shelby County fair for a number of years.
Michel’s Enterprise Inc., who
supplies the rides, will install
a regular Ferris wheel and a
merry-go-round along with 15
other rides guaranteed to give
fair-goers thrills, chills and
plain old good times.
“Trying to find good quality
ride companies is hard,” said
Fair Director Jerry Schaffner.
He noted that at trade shows,
there are fewer than a third the
number of providers who used
to attend when Schaffner started booking them 33 years ago.
“People just don’t want to get
into the business, I guess,” he
said. That’s why he’s pleased
that Michael’s Enterprise will
return this year. The company’s
rides always pass inspections
and are safely run and maintained, he said.
The rides are coming to Sidney from Kentucky and won’t
be open until 4 p.m., Sunday,
of fair week. They will open at
4 p.m., Monday, too, so that
the operators can get some rest
after their journey north and
their installation of the equipment.
“We want to make it safe
for everyone,” Schaffner said.
Tuesday through Saturday,
rides will open at 1 p.m.
Schaffner didn’t know what
all the rides would be when he
spoke with the Sidney Daily
News early in July, but he did
say that the following rides
would be at the fair: Scat, Cliff
More vendors

SIDNEY — The Shelby County Fair will host
more vendors in 2106 than it has in the past several years, according to Director Jerry Schaffner.
“It might get kind of crowded,” he said of the
areas outside the Merchants Building where some
vendors set up tents.
Companies who will offer goods and services at
the fair will be Wilson Health; NaNa’s; Swings and

Inc., Dan Daley, hats, belts, telephone accessories
