The final day of the Douglas County Fair kicked off this morning with kids and creatures competing to become showmanship champions at the Round Robin Showmanship contest at 9 a.m.

Douglas County 4-H members from ages 7 to 18 strutted steer, pigs, sheep and goats around the arena before expert judges in each category.

Rick Blush, a retired agriculture teacher who lives in Topeka, judged the steer. Blush said not only is the competition about the animals’ appearances, but he expects the human participants to know a lot of information about the animals they’re showing.

“I ask questions like, ‘What’s the market price of your steer?’ and, ‘How much does he weigh?'” Blush said. “If you’re going to show livestock, you need to know the industry.”

Karly Neufeld, 9, won the championship spot for the youngest age division. As her name was called over the loud speaker, her father, Kelly Neufeld, swelled with pride.

“I was in 4-H as a child, but I was never as successful as her,” Kelly Neufeld said. “I am very proud, I don’t know where we’ll go from here.”

Other division winners included: Alexandra Harris in level two, Alexis Leonard in level three and Emma Stewart in the oldest category, level four.

The 2014 fair has been packed, executive secretary of the fair board Margaret Kalb said Saturday. Kalb said that though she didn’t have exact numbers on fair attendance, she thinks this year has been the most-attended fair in quite some time.

“We’ve had a couple years where it’s been really hot or we’ve gotten rained out,” Kalb said. “The weather just really helped us this year.”

Kalb estimated about 4,000 people attended the demolition derby Friday night, noting there have been so many fair-goers that some food vendors have sold out, having to go get more food for Saturday night’s festivities.

The final day of the fair will last through Saturday evening with an antique tractor pull at 4 p.m., an awards ceremony at 5 p.m. and a concert by “Spin Down” at 7 p.m. Festivities will end when the carnival wraps up at 10 p.m. and the livestock auction finishes around 10:30 p.m.
