David Vitter, United States Senator said, “I continue to believe that if children are given the necessary tools to succeed, they will suc- ceed beyond their wildest dreams!” The Berkeley County Youth Fair is striving to give the youth of Berkeley County those much needed tools to succeed and become the shining “Stars” they dream to be. We are focused on giving the young people of Berkeley County the many life skills needed for them to reach their goals. We are teach- ing them positive youth development in order to strengthen and expand their capacities, knowledge and skills through education, training, showmanship and competition. Many volunteers spend hours upon hours preparing for the week of the fair to be able to give the many young individuals of our affiliated youth organizations the opportunity to become “Shining Stars”. Without our volunteers, sponsors and the community as whole, this week would not be pos- sible and we thank you for your continued support over the past 67 years. We wish the best of luck to the 2014 participants and encour- age each one to grasp this wonderful opportunity and become the “Shining Stars” of Berkeley County. Dawn Pingley, President Berkeley County Youth Fair Association
8 9 Linda Snyder (1948-2013)
A lifelong resident of Berkeley County, Linda truly embodied the 4-H motto “To Make the Best Better.” No matter what she did, she always did it with a smile. Born on January 24, 1948, she was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother. After graduating from Martinsburg High School in 1965, she worked for the C&P Telephone Company. She met and married her beloved husband of 42 years, Larry and had two children Mark and Annette. After retiring, she dedicated much of her time to her community and family. She willingly served on the Mountain State Apple Harvest Board for many years, chaired various committees at her church and loved helping with the open houses at Flowers Unlimited, just to name a few. She never said ‘No’ to anyone who needed help. Like her mother and siblings, Linda was a faithful 4-H member. She always had fond memories of her camping days at Camp Frame and always loved participating in the fair, which was then located behind Martinsburg High School. Linda always credited her mother and her 4-H baking projects for her baking skills including her famous cakes everyone loved. She also enjoyed sewing, another skill she learned through 4-H and could be found making costumes for school plays, sewing hug-a-bears with the Telephone Pioneers and creating numerous Apple Harvest quilts. Even as she got older, Linda’s love for 4-H and the Youth Fair didn’t end. She helped prepare and serve banquets, bonanzas, make apple pies and for several years was in charge of making 200 plus pounds of steamer meat for the fair. For more than 20 years, Linda volunteered in the concession stand with her Aunt Ruth Linton and most recently managed the stand for several years alongside her dear friend and ‘partner in crime,’ Judy Michael. When her children were old enough, she encouraged them to join 4-H and supported her daughter throughout her years as a member and current leader. When her grandchildren, Alyssa, Trinity and Peyton joined, she was again right there every step of the way. She knew how much 4-H meant to her and was glad they were able to have the same experience. There hasn’t been a fair that Linda hasn’t been a part of and this year she will be missed by many, but not forgotten.
10 11 V. Colleen Miller 1954-2013
As a 4-Her, Colleen learned the true meaning of the 4-H motto “To make the best better.” She tirelessly gave of herself to her family, church, and community. She continued to use and give of her head, heart, hands, and health to the myriad of students she touched throughout her 37 years of teaching in Berkeley County Schools.
Colleen was crowned 1970 Miss Youth Fair and became inspired by the late Evelyn LeMaster Talbott, past youth fair board member, for her countless hours of volunteerism with the fair. Colleen continued her devotion to the fair throughout her life. She could be found volunteering her time in the concession stand, as an ‘angel’ in the exhibit hall, spending time in the rabbit barn, as a judge for various exhibits, and supporting area youth at the annual livestock sale. She was instrumental in establishing the Evelyn LeMaster Talbott Community Service Award, which has been presented for the past 25 years as part of the Miss Youth Fair contest.
Colleen truly delighted in how the community celebrated and embraced the youth, and she was honored and humbled to support the children of our community.
10 11 WILLIAM N. HILLIARD 1952-2013
William N. Hilliard (Bill) owned and operated Hillhaven Dairy Farm in Berkeley County. Bill is survived by his wife Debbie and three sons, Jason, Zackary and Marcus. Bill and his wife were active volunteers/leaders with the Shamrock 4-H Club, which their three sons were members. Besides being involved in 4-H, Bill was actively involved with FFA and the activities that his sons participated in through the years. Bill’s legacy is being carried on through his grandchildren, who are very active in the Scrabble Scram- blers 4-H Club and will be exhibitors at the 2014 fair.
“A true farmer Bill was and the future was his. His life was to sow what he loved and watch the future grow.”
12 13 Fred gantt 1945-2014
Freddie was born on August 19, 1945 in Martinsburg, WV. He grew up on his parent’s farm located on Hedgesville Road and never lived more than four miles of his home place. Freddie’s life revolved around his family, friends and community. He had a firm hand and a heart of gold and was always a man of what you see is what you get – no pretense. Hedgesville High School was not only where he graduated from; but, where he met his wife, Dianna. They had three children who married and gave them five grandchildren (by or during this year’s youth fair week – there will be a brand new #6). He adored his grandchildren and learning about his future grandchild was the best Christmas present that he had ever received. He developed Gantt’s Mobile Home Community and Morgan Village; and with one old backhoe, he started Gantt’s Excavating. Freddie was a true definition of a workaholic – get it done man. Between his love of community, young people and past activi- ties as a youth, the Berkeley County Youth Fair was just a very big part of his life, especially the tractor pulls.

14 15 14 15 16 17 The Davisson Brothers Band has a unique style infusing a remarkable blend of country, southern rock, and Sammy’s solid bass groove provide the bluegrass to create a distinctive sound perfect foundation for Donnie’s impas- captured in their first single, “Big City sioned, soulful vocals with Sammy’s Hillbilly.” This sound, combined with the flawless harmonies all driven by Chris’s band’s talent and energy, has gained mind-bending blend of bluegrass, a loyal fan base all over the Eastern country, and blues guitar creating a United States. Brothers Chris and sound unlike anything you’ve ever Donnie Davisson and cousin Sammy heard. “Music has always been a part Davisson, along with childhood friend of our lives,” says Chris, “and now we’re Aaron Regester, are continuing musical living our dad’s and uncle’s dream— pursuits started by the Davisson family playing music around the country and long ago. Aaron’s reliable drums and hearing ourselves on the radio.”

16 17 18 19 Miss Berkeley County Youth Fair 2013 Jillian O’Connell
The Berkeley County Youth Fair has always been a very special part of my summers. I knew, the minute I was crowned, I was in for an incredible week filled with much excitement. Not being a farm girl, I knew I had much to learn! Hav- ing Jessica McDonald, first runner up, by my side made my week so much more amazing. Her knowl- edge came in quite handy! I appre- ciate her help and her friendship so much! I had a wonderful time passing out ribbons, participating in the competitions and activities, and spending time with 4-Hers. I even learned to milk a goat! As Miss Berkeley County Youth Fair, I was able to represent our fair in the Apple Harvest Fes- tival Parade and the Martinsburg Christmas Parade. I was given the awesome opportunity to travel to Charleston to participate in the West Virginia Association of Fairs and Festivals Pageant. When we arrived, information concerning the chemical spill and the water ban was shared with us. My family and I decided to stick it out so I could represent the Berkeley County Youth Fair. Great memories! It was a joy to share with everyone how unique and special our fair is and how meaningful my 4-H experiences have been and continue to be. I thank God for all of the amazing opportunities I have been given this year. My parents, brother, the members of the Berkeley County Youth Fair Board, and many friends have been so supportive during my reign. I was able to witness all the behind the scenes work that makes this fair possible and all the countless hours volunteers put into this fair. I had a grand year, and I am so honored and feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity this year to represent the Berkeley County Youth Fair. Thank you to everyone who helped to make this an amazing year that will always be close to my heart.
18 19 20 21 2013 Friendship Award Recipient bailey carper
A message from Bailey….. I would like to take a mo- ment to thank those re- sponsible for selecting me to receive this award. Be- ing chosen is an honor. While it is always neat to win an award, it is even bet- ter being at shows! I love being with my friends and family doing something I love – showing animals! I started showing when I was 7 years old and am now in my fifth year. My first opportunity to show was at the West Virginia State Fair where I showed my Aunt Page Moore’s jersey heifer, Winter. Since then, I’ve been able to show cattle each year at the NAILE (North American International Livestock Expo) in Louisville, Kentucky; West Virginia state fair, Tennessee Beef Agribi- tion, All American Dairy Show in Pennsylvania, Berkeley County Youth Fair and the Washington County Expo. I also enjoy Fleckvieh cattle sales and travel to Buzzard Hollow Ranch in Granbury, Texas and Little Creek Farms in Starkville, Mississippi to look for prospects. My sister, Hannah, and I have shown chickens, goats, beef and dairy cattle at the Berkeley County Youth Fair. We learn so much each year while at the fair and have made lots of friends. The fair week is like going to camp or even a family reunion. You get to spend a week with friends you’ve made and some of those friends are just like family! They are always there when you need something and I try to be there for them when they need a hand! Anyone that participates in the fair knows it’s not just about being in the ring. It is about raising and taking care of your animals which includes chores like feeding, halter breaking, washing, blowing & grooming, scooping poop (and there’s lots of that!), keeping records. In addition to showing animals, I am active in my church, school and 4-H. I previously attended Tomahawk Christian Church and am now attending Ringgold Church of Christ in Hagerstown where I am prayerfully planning to be baptized in the upcoming months! A special thank you to my family for your love and support and to all of those in the barns for showing me the ropes! While I will not be showing at the BCYF this year, I will treasure the many memories and, most importantly, the friends! Good Luck this year and remember…EYES ON THE JUDGE! 20 21 22 23 2013 Champion Market Steers & Hogs

52 53 GOD madeAnd on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, “I need a caretaker.” So God made a farmer. God said, “I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board.” So God made a farmer. “I need somebody with arms strong enough to rustle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to wait lunch until his wife’s done feeding visit- ing ladies and tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon — and mean it.” So God made a farmer. God said, “I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt. And watch it die. Then dry his eyes and say, ‘Maybe next year.’ I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from a persimmon sprout, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire, who can make harness out of haywire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. And who, planting time and harvest season, will finish his forty-hour week by Tuesday noon, then, pain’n from ‘tractor back,’ put in another seventy-two hours.” So God made a farmer.
54 55 a farmer
God had to have somebody will- ing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in mid-field and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor’s place. So God made a farmer. God said, “I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave bails, yet gentle enough to tame lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink-combed pullets, who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the broken leg of a meadow lark. It had to be some- body who’d plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk and replenish the self-feeder and finish a hard week’s work with a five-mile drive to church. “Somebody who’d bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh and then sigh, and then re- ply, with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life ‘doing what dad does.’” So God made a farmer. ~Paul Harvey, 1978, as given in a speech to the Future Farmers of America

These goals are carried out through the involvement of parents, volunteers, and other adults who organize and conduct educational project experiences. The 4-H project consists of three areas that can earn the 4-H member 100 points. 1. Project Book (Possible 30 pts.) - The project book provides information to increase knowledge of the subject area. 2. Exhibit (possible 50 pts.) - The Youth Fair exhibit demonstrates the mastery of the information learned by the 4-Her through the project work. 3. Activity Record (possible 20 pts.) - The activity record is a written record of the activities that the 4-H member has been involved in during the 4-H
62 63 year. Special Notes: Each 4-H Project is recommended based on cognitive development of youth. Each project has a recommendation of age that indicates the degree of difficulty and the approximate age levels as of January1. (Beginners 9-12, Intermediate 13-15, and Advanced 16-21)

Immediately following award presentation and pictures, the chair or fair representative will escort the handler and animal to the designated area to obtain blood samples.

Grand and Reserve Champion (as well as the market animals that are randomly tested) award checks and sale checks will not be released until the test results are returned to the Berkeley County Youth Fair. If test results are returned unfavorable, the exhibitor will not receive award money or their sale check. The sale check will be returned to the buyer. The exhibitor is then prohibited from exhibiting any future indoor or outdoor exhibits for the remainder of their eligibility . At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock show premises, all treatments involving the use of drugs and/ or medications for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian.
