 Keeping the show running smoothly were longtime supporters of
4-H and the Logan County Fair activities, the Steffens family.
Betty and Larry Steffens farmed, as well as raised all their own
food for many years to feed their family of eight children. They
also raised their kids in 4-H.
The senior Steffens couple had been in charge of the horticultural program
for 25 years and still serve as superintendents. But son Jason has
taken over the primary work. And, he's been doing it for 17 years
now. With a smile and happy tone, Jason narrated, introducing Moser and calling forward each of the participants as their turn
came. The morning went smooth as can be and swiftly.
Advanced communication technology made its way into the local
presentations this year. Grace Skelton incorporated a QR code in her
display on basil. When this was recognized, Moser surprised a
few people by promptly retrieving her iPhone to scan it. The scan
immediately brought up detailed information on the herb.
Skelton took home the trophy for the day.
