It’s hard to tell whether it was a few comforting words to settle her sheep down or her technique, but both earned Tonya Doty of Lovington showmanship honors at the conclusion of the sheep show last weekend during the Moultrie Sullivan 4-H and Junior Fair.

4-H Horticulture judging completed the judging events in the 1991 Moultrie-Sullivan 4-H and Jr. Fair. Best of Show for vegetable gardening went to Beth Parsons of Bethany. State Fair delegates include Beth Parsons, Erin Parsons and Nicole McCabe, all of Bethany—vegetable gardening; Carrie Jackson of Lovington—terrarium; Sarah Jackson of Lovington—flower arranging; and Ryan Cobb of Sullivan—herb gardening.

Lovington 4-H’ers took top honors during the Moultrie County 4-H and Junior Livestock Show held last weekend at the 4-H Center.
