LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Hi, my name is Hadyn Evans of Anderson Marsh 4-H in Lower Lake. I am planning on taking many animals to the Lake County Fair held over Labor Day Weekend, Sept. 2-5.

I am the fourth generation of my family to be showing at the Lake County Fair.

My great-grandfather, Jim Bloxham, was a member of the board of directors in the 1950s. My grandmother raced in chariot races when the track was still dirt. My grandparents showed many things, including breeding and market sheep in the 1960s. My mom and dad showed lots animals in the 1980s, and now my sisters and I can carry on the tradition.

This year I am taking a home raised market lamb and a Lake County born and raised market steer to the Lake County Fair Junior Auction, to be held Saturday, Sept. 14, at 1 p.m. I have raised my market lamb from my flock of 12 sheep.

Without the support of many members of my community, the success of my 4-H projects would not be possible.

Next year I will be the president of Anderson Marsh 4-H and look forward to being in charge of my club’s meetings.

After high school, I plan to attend UC Davis and become a Fish and Game Warden and a butcher when I retire.
