Blaschko takes top showmanship honor at Le Sueur County Fair

Each year at the fair, the top showmen of the county get a chance to participate in the Premier Showmanship contest. To qualify for the event, exhibitors must place as champion and reserve champion for each species listed: beef, dairy, goat, sheep, horse, poultry, rabbit, and swine. These contestants have four minutes per specie to show the animal and answer a set of questions asked by the judge. The overall Premier Showman at the 2019 Le Sueur County fair was Kendra Blaschko, daughter of Chris and Jo, of Le Center. Pictured above is the lineup of contestants for the Premier Showmanship. Kendra Blaschko is front, middle on chair.

On Tuesday, July 23, the Le Sueur County Engineering Design Challenge judging took place. The demonstrations and machine brought by the Engineering Design Challenge team were amazing examples of the ingenuity and intelligence of the youth in Le Sueur County. Engineering Design Challenge team was made up of Emily and Ann Sullivan; daughters of Jim and Marsha Sullivan of Le Sueur; Caroline and Harriet Tuck, daughters of Eric and Brigid Tuck of Le Sueur; Alice Breaker, daughter of Steve and Betsy Breaker of Le Sueur. Their machine ran smoothly with no additional interventions and earned them all a blue ribbon.
