Driving home it hit me how small of a population niche we livestock show folks and ag folks are. We have to feed all those people plus millions more. We are a small crowd, in small towns, in a small state compared to the masses I witnessed on my drives across the fairgrounds. It's almost scary how they appear to take our passion for livestock and land for granted. Nevertheless, we will continue to feed the world. This is just Peck's view of the fair through the windshield of my golf cart. Enough said.
P.S.: One of my highlights of the day was giving Judy Col lins from Frederick a ride out to her car. One of the icons of our industry, former owner of Showstring Embroidery, one of the reason livestock showing has gown and grown, and a dear friend I don't see often enough.

Not all of you, but I figure many, have seen or rode on the Ag Youth golf cart. For those of you who haven't, it's a red golf cart with Ag Youth stickers all over it. I take it to OYE and the Tulsa State Fair. It's about 10 years old and has never been on a golfWell,course.just this past weekend, I decided to take my golf cart to the Oklahoma State Fair. I could park a mile away, easily carry several boxes of magazine, and give a few exhibitors rides, if needed. It worked great. I parked out past the OYE Office. It was a good ways to the barns. Probably a mile to go around and come in the main livestock gate, all the while driving through two main parking lots on the south side of the fairgrounds.

Now, I don't know how many people attend the first weekend of the Oklahoma State Fair. With the warm weather, there were many, many folks. I set this up to say that out of all those thousands I saw, I knew or recognized absolutely none. If it was OYE or Tulsa, I would recognize most.

Ag Youth Magazine - Braggin’ on Kids for 35 Years!
In an attempt to get the community to get involved with the chapter, we held a new event called Ag Olym pics. It was a huge hit and a great day of fun.
In Inola, we have learned the benefits of working side by side with our community, and the best results are awe some traditions like Hay Day.
Every year the Town of Inola, Oklahoma, holds a community-wide event called Hay Day. Since Inola is considered the "Hay Capital of the World," businesses around town create objects out of hay and compete for a trophy.This year Inola FFA decided to join in on the compe tition and got first place! Along with the hay bale contest, there is also a parade float contest. We themed ours to the
classic movie "The Wizard of Oz" and placed first in that contest, too!

In July, 4-H members across Okla homa gathered in Stillwater for the 101st Oklahoma 4-H Roundup at a place they call home, Gallagher Iba Arena. Near the conclusion of the Oklahoma 4-H Roundup, the new state council officers were inducted. Oklahoma 4-H Council executive officers for 2022-2023 include: Abby Logan, president; Colton Tripp, vice president; Murphy Peterson, secretary; Jenessa Dugger, reporter; and Haven Hinton, recreation leader. The district representatives from the west include: Dylan Simon, Kynleigh Henson and Kaylee Junghanns; from the northeast: Bridger Arrington, Clarissa Smith and Isaac Ochsner; and from the southeast: Andrew Triplitt, Avagrace Spencer and VioletTheSpencer.statecouncil wanted to show what they have learned over the years while being in 4-H. They also wanted to recognize all that has helped them grow and develop to be the best leaders and people that they can be. Let’s take a look at what they had to say.
Page 54 - OCTOBER 2022
“One of the most important and meaningful life skills 4-H has taught me is stepping out of my comfort zone
Violet Spencer expressed that 4-H has taught her life skills and more. One of the life skills she learned through her involvement in 4-H has been how to pos itively impact her community."
“Time management and communi cation are two life skills that 4-H has taught me,” Smith said. “These skills will forever help me continue to grow. 4-H has developed within me the competence I will need in my college life and future career.”“When I think about the life skills 4-H has taught me, the communication skills I have learned immediately come to mind. Specifically, the ability to inter view,” Ochsner.
Kaylee said her 4-H experiences and projects have taught her many life skills, but the most valuable lessons are responsibility and teamwork.
Ag
said. “But, the 4-H program taught me how to believe in myself, research a subject matter and break down a presentation so that I could memorize it.”
“The most important life skills that I have personally learned are confidence in myself, organizational skills, time man agement, critical thinking, networking/ communication, and interview skills,” MurphyJenessasaid.says she has learned many life skills since she joined 4-H, but the main life skill that has impacted her the most is the ability to speak to people with ease. Haven expressed that during her 4-H career she has learned many life skills, including how to give a speech effectively, how to cook and how to prepare for a job interview.“Thelife skill that I have had the opportunity to benefit from by being in 4-H would have to be time management,” Clarissa“Thesaid.life skill I have learned the most in 4-H has been communication. Like most kids, I was terrified of public speaking when I started 4-H,” Kynleigh

and taking every opportunity that arises,” AbbyColtonsaid. said 4-H has taught him how to feel comfortable speaking in front of others. He said he has grown from be ing uncomfortable speaking in front of others, to having a love of participating in speech contests.
