Love of animals leads to top awards at fair Girl takes top prizes with 4-H sheep named Macaroni and Cheese By Patrick McDonough Reporter
Ryleigh Randall loves animals, and her fondness showed at the Kitsap County Fair. Randall, 12, of Port Orchard won nine awards at the fair this year, including a Champion Market Animal prize and a Reserve Champion award for her 5-monthold Suffolk sheep given the auspicious moniker of
Macaroni and Cheese. A 4-H Club member for four years, Randall won the awards Aug. 25 in the registered sheep competition. The 4-H club is a youth development organization designed to build leadership and other life skills through activities such as raising animals and participating in competitions with the animals. Randall said she enjoyed raising the sheep and said that competing and win-
ning will help with her college education. “I like doing this because it helps gain money for my college fund, and I love animals,” she said. Joyce Harrell, the superintendent for the competition, said Suffolk sheep are judged primarily on their meat. “The sheep compete against each other to exemplify the best quality of that breed,” she said. “Meat sheep are judged primarily on their carcass.” During competition, a See Top Awards, A10

Brian Dent gets all shook up about Elvis Presley. When the 10-year-old hits the stage as “Little Elvis,” the audience follows suit. Dent, a Bremerton resident, gyrated across the stage Aug. 25 at the Kitsap County Fair. Performing some of the King’s signature moves and singing renditions of hits such as “Love Me Tender” and “Heart Break Hotel,” Dent had the audience clapping, cheering and singing along. Dent has been performing as
Elvis on stage since the age of 5, when he sang at a kindergarten talent show. Since that time, he has performed at fairs, air shows, car shows and hundreds of other events. He said he enjoyed performing as Elvis, especially when the crowds got loud. “I always love it when the audience is screaming and yelling,” he said. “It makes me get more excited and happy.” The first time heard he heard Elvis, he was 4 years old and asked his dad who the singer was. Sammy Dent, Brian’s father played all types of music, but

Elvis captured his son’s attention immediately. “I played some of Elvis’ music, and he said ‘That guy is good. Who is he?’” For the younger Dent, there is something about Elvis. “I think it is the style and the music,” he said. “I think he is good at singing and he has a cool look.” The upbeat nature of the music can be contagious, Dent said. That’s why he enjoys bringing the music to community events such as the fair and other venues: It
