This year's fair, to be held Aug. 3-7 at the McHenry County fairgrounds, Woodstock, promises to be Se best ever! It all began in 1852. It. was that year that a group o£ interested producers got together and formed the McHenry Agriculture society. The society purchased Jen acres of land in Woodsfoclt and continued to add acreage until 1968, when they had a total of 22 acres. It was in that same year that the iirst agricultural exhibition was held. Producers from around the county brought in livestock and produce for evaluation. The exhibition grew to include horse and mulepulling con­ test, sheep shearing competitions, and pie bake-offs until the year 1924 when, as a result of the Depression, people could no longer afford to support an exhibition, interest waned, and the fair was discontinued. With the end of World War II, however, there came a renewed in­ terest in exhibiting agricultural, products. The 4-H program had begun to grow i in the county and the need to establish an exhibit event for 4-H members acted as a catalyst for reinstating the county fair. In 1946 the county board of super­ visors voted to lease the old fairgrounds to the 4-H clubs of the county for the purpose of exhibiting their project work. A few years later, in 1949, a group of interested in­ dividuals joined together to form the McHenry County Fair association and worked cooperatively with 4-H members, leaders, and parents to provide a county fair for not only 4- H'ers, but for the public in general. The McHenry County fair has been going strong ever since. Over the years the McHenry County fair has grown from being soley an agricultural exhibition to being a "show place" for the people of the county. Visitors to the fair can see displays ranging from antiques to cakes, and snapdragons to macrame. These, in addition to the livestock shows, livestock auction, junior fun rodeo, commercial exhibits, en­ tertainment, tractor pulls, carnival, demolition derbies, and much, much more, all add to the fun and ex­ citement of another great McHenry County fair. Questions regarding the 1983 McHenry County fair may be directed to the fair office, 338-5315, or the McHcairy County Cooperative Ex­ tension service, 338-3737 or 338-4747. Michael Carpenter, left, of High School District 156, Patrick McCrystal, Johnsburg District 12, and Ronald Glawe, District 156, are among the 45 teachers attending the Summer Institute for Science Teachers at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory at Batavia. Attend Science Institute Set Theme For Bible School An all-new and exciting program is being prepared by the Alliance church for Vacation Bible school this year to be held Aug. 10 through 17. Jesus Joy for All is the theme for the school to be held each week day from 9:30 to 11:45 a.m. Classes will be offered for all ages from nursery (age 3) through junior high. A church spokesman said, "The message of God's hope through Christ becomes a part of joyful living for people of all ages as they learn of God's promises through the gospel of Luke in this series. Creative learning experiences and activities help participants realize that God calls them to a life of hope, and to a life of sharing that hope with others." Pupils will begin at the Port of Entry and proceed through Hope Harbor, Lighthouse Rock, Faith Island, Promise Passage and the Galley as the morning progresses. Each station will provide a unique experience in either singing, crafts, Bible study, games or refreshments! Hie staff of Jesus Joy For All invite all the children of the community to participate in the fun, fellowship and spiritual growth at Vacation Bible school 1983. For pre-registration in­ formation contact the church office at 385-1519 or just bring friends and neighbors Wednesday, Aug. 10. Michael Carpenter and Ronald Glawe, both of School District 156, Patrick McCrystal, Johnsburg District 12 are among the 45 teachers attending the Summer Institute for Science Teachers at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Ac­ celerator Laboratory at Batavia. The summer session, sponsored by the Friends of Fermilab association, is designed to give Ugh school chemistry, biology, and phvsics teachers information and skills to enhance their teaching when they return to school in the fall. The institute combines classroom and lab sessions, as well as computer instruction and plenary sessions on topics of general interest, such as: "How the Brain Works; Lessons from Neurology," "Everything You Wanted to Know About Elementary Particles," and "Physics and Biology of . Radiation Applications in Medicine". Each subject is presented by experts in their field; the teachers have had more than 45 instructors ini the course of the program. The teachers were selected from more than 100 applicants. They represent a cross section of schools in a 50 mile radius of Fermilab. Those who successfully complete the course can earn four hours of graduate credit from Northern Illinois university and they will receive a $1,000 stipend from the Friends of Fermilab. "Rent-A-Camp" Program Offers Nominal Charge Set Early Screening For District 15 Pre-School McHenry Elementary District 15 will be scheduling screening for pre­ schoolers earlier this year than in prior years. Appointments will be scheduled in September through mid- February. Parents of three and four-year-old children not entering kindergarten in the fall of 1984 may call the Central Administration office (385-7210) to make an appointment. The aim of the screening is three-fold: 1 - to identify potential educational needs among pre-school children; 2-to introduce the parent to the school system and prepare pre-schoolers for later school entrance; and 3 - to provide pre­ schoolers with a positive first ex­ perience with school. When calling for an appointment, the parent will be asked for basic identifying information and scheduled to bring the child to one of the elementary schools for screening. The children will be screened for speech and language, and motor skills. Hearing and visual acuity screening will be scheduled for a later time. The parents will be interviewed about the child's development and medical background, and the child's performance will be discussed with the parent. The procedure takes about If the child was screened lsst year,' and po follow-up was necessary, it is not requested that he-she be screened again. However, if the parent wishes to bring the child in for re-screening, which may ascertain how much growth there was over that period of time, they are welcome to do so. r Children who will be five on or before Dec. 1,1984, will be eligible for kindergarten entrance in the fall of 1984, and will be screened and registered for kindergarten in the spring of 1984. This scheduling will be announced at a later date. A lot of Illinoisans are missing out on a good deal, and the main reason may be that they are unaware of it. Ray Norbut, chief of the Con­ servation department's Division of Public Lands, said DOC's "Rent-A- Camp" program "was a huge success in 1982" when offered at only four state parks, but it has begun to falter this year after being expanded to 18 Department-owned sites. "The somewhat unseasonably wet and cool weather throughout most of the spring and early summer may have had something to do with the low utilization of our A-Camp sites, but I believe the main factor is the lack of publicity about the program," Norbut stated. "People won't take advantage of these facilities if they don't know thev are available", he said. _ afMMxss full-equipped camping sites for a nominal rental fee in addition to the regular camping charge. The program is intended as a low-cost introduction to camping for those who have not yet tried the activity, and as a service to experienced campers who do not own camping gear or cannot easily transport it, Norbut explained. At each Rent-A-Camp site, users will find a tent, cots, charcoal grill, battery-powered camp light, fire extinguisher, broom and trash pan, fire ring, picnic table and trash barrel. All the camper need bring is food, cooking and eating utensils, charcoal and lighter fluid, sleeping bag (or blankets and pillows, folding chairs, and clothing, including rainwear. Most of the canvas tents are four-cot units, nine feet by 11 feet. But 14-by 14^ foot, eight-cot tents are available at some sites j for large families. All of the tents have canvas floors and are placed on wooden platforms for weather protection and to increase air circulation. Reservation forms or further in­ formation on the program can be obtained at the parks or by contacting the Conservation department's Springfield office, in care of Rent-A- Camp Program, 524 South Second St., Springfield, 111., 62706.
