NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Wednesday. August 7,1985 Regional Dairy building offers special attractions at fair SPRINGFIELD, 111. - Cheese and dairy CQmpanies will provide nutrition information while fair visitors view the Butter Cow and listen to dixieland bands at the 19&5 Illinois State Fair Dairy Building. Daniel and the Dixie Diggers, an animated hound dog band, make up the five-member dix­ ieland group which will perform for the duration of the fair, Aug. 8- 18. Their repertoire includes* "Yankee Doodle,' "Rockin' Robin" and4 'Birth of the Blues." Joining Daniel and the Dixie Diggers in a few songs on stage is an animated caricature of Mark Twain. Twain, sponsored by the American Dairy Association of Il­ linois, will tell favorite Twain tales interspersed with dairy in­ dustry facts. - . . The Butter Cow, making its 61st fair appearance, is sculpted from 600 pounds of unsalted butter by Norma Lyon of Toledo, Iowa. The cow shares its showcase this year with a Butter Calf; a gold bell lac­ ed with a blue ribbon decorates the cow's neck. Flowers surround the showcase, and four art students from Normal Communi­ ty High School in Normal, 111., have painted a farm scenery backdrop. Students from the woodshop class built a two-part wooden frame for the backdrop. Dairy Building Superintendent Dick Moore said 1985 marks the 16th year for holding children's games in the Dairy Building, and they continue to draw young and old alike. The games are simple and include some favorites like Ring-Around-the-Rosie, where rings are thrown around a rose, and the Prairie Farms 500, where toy cars race around a milk carton track. The children who are win­ ners will receive letters of the word "milk," and when they've completed the word, they will receive a free glass of chocolate milk. , Dairy products such as milk shakes, ice cream and milk are t f available for purchase. The Dix­ ieland Band will play swthging dixie music at the Dairy Building entrance. Dairy • companies, including Meadow Gold and Dean's, will have factual dairy displays, and the Dairy Council will provide nutrition information on sodium. Dairy product exhibitors will com­ pete for $3,975 in premiums. Exhibiting cheese companies are the Walnut Cheese Co., Walnut, 111.; Kolb-Lena Cheese Co., Lena, 111.; Nauvoo Cheese Co., Nauvoo, 111.; Lorraine Cheese Co., Pittsfield, 111., and Warren Cheese Co., Warren, 111. The winn­ ing cheese will be auctioned off at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14, dur­ ing the Commodities Auction on Lincoln Stage. Local 4-H'ers featured at state fair When most people think of the Illinois State Fair, they think of Willie Nelson, lemon shake-ups and the double ferris wheel. But there's a fair within the fair that's well worth taking the time to see. From Aug. 8-17, the Junior Department will feature the best of the best that McHenry County 4- H'ers have to offer. McHenry County young people will exhibit livestock in Junior Show competi­ tion throughout the fair, and their non-livestock projects will be featured on Sunday , Aug-11. "The Illinois 4-H program is a big part of the Illinois State Fair/' said McHenry County Extension adviser Mary Widolff. "4-H members from all over the state will present their project work for evaluation in a conference- judging experience. Through this method of judging, the members have a chance to discuss their pro- ejct with an expert in the field. As the expert evaluates the project, he or she talks with the 4-H'er and offers constructive input -- what was good about the project and Genealogical society to meet in Crystal Lake "Scotch Irish of Pennsylvania" will be the subject presented by Betty Massman, a well-known authority on Pennsylvania and member of the McHenry County Illinois Genealogical Society (MCIGS). Massman has an exten­ sive library of Pennsylvania books and is always ready to share her knowledge. The meeting will be held in the cafeteria of Central High School, located at 45 W. Franklin Ave., Crystal Lake, at 7:30 p.m., Thurs­ day, Aug. 8. MCIGS is doing it again. The society is coming out with a reprint of the Combined Atlas of McHenry County, Illinois - 1872. The reprint has been slightly reduced to a more convenient size of ll"xl4" from the original 14"xl7"; the soft cover is a remarkable reproduction of the original artwork; there are 80 pages of township and village plat maps, including a "landowners in­ dex" compiled by Margaret Mar­ ch!. It will be possible to pick up a copy at the MCIGS monthly meetings. The book will sell for $18 plus $2.75 postage, if it is to be mailed. Orders may be sent to MCIGS, in care of Judy Robel, 2027 W.
