F.Y.I. CONTINUED KANSAS STATE FAIRTOHOST WESTERN REGIONAL HAMPSHIRE SHOW The Kansas State Fair will host the 2008 Western Regional Hampshire Show and the National Natural Colored Wool Growers Association (NCWGA) show on September 8, 9 and 10. The Hampshire show will be Wednesday morning September 10, 2008, thirty minutes after the Suffolk show is completed. The NCWGA show starts at 8:00 am Wednesday September 10, 2008. The complete judging schedule is listed below. The premium list will be available online in early April at www.kansasstatefair.com. Open sheep must check in between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm Monday September 8, 2008 and will be released following the exhibitors meeting 4:30 pm September 10, 2008. Alex McClure, sheep superintendent, believes these two national events should complement each other and bring new exhibitors to the fair. There are classes for the major “down” breeds plus an All Other Breeds Class. Steve Reid, Houstonia, MO will judge the Hamps and Suffolks. Henry Shultz, Centralia, MO will judge Shropshires, Southdowns, Dorsets, Montadales, the NCWGA, and All Other Breeds. The Hampshire show is dedicated to the Frank Gillmore family: Phyllis Davison, Wichita, KS and Tom Gillmore, Lincoln, NE. Frank’s grandchildren are adding four hundred ninety-five dollars in premium money to the show. Frank Gillmore was a life-time sheepman, shearer, showman, and friend of 4-H. He and his wife Viola, had four children: Ralph, Richard, Phyllis, and Tom. AMPSHIRE HEARTBEAT Frank showed Hampshires for more than fifty consecutive years at the Kansas State Fair. He also showed and judged at many other state and county fairs. Ralph was not as active in the purebred sheep industry as the rest of the family, but was a big supporter of Phyllis and her sons. He attended a lot of ball games and sheep shows and always enjoyed visiting with the other sheep people. Richard was a fixture at many of the Midwest and western shows, you expected to find him in the same location from year to year, from the early 60’s until his untimely death in a one-vehicle accident in 1998. When you were showing you looked for Richard to be close to the top in any class. He judged state and county fairs from the Midwest to California and Oregon. He judged many times at Louisville. As a shearer, he had good tallies, and stayed until the job was done, but his pride was doing a smooth job with minimal nicks on the sheep. Phyllis has been active fitting and showing all of her life. She spent many years fitting and showing them for Frank, and now has the Gillmore-Davison Hampshires and the LaRosh-Davison Dorsets. Her husband John, farms in the Valley Center, KS area. Frank and Vi’s youngest son Tom has earned fame as a fitter, showman, judge and shearer. He helped Frank and Phyllis with their sheep for many years and is a part of the various events, mostly as a judge. This will be the second year in the fair’s new sheep, goat and swine building. The building has over 700 pens, new sheep and goat wash racks, lots of light and abundant electrical outlets. The building includes four offices and restrooms with showers. Camping is available on the grounds. Entry fees are $7.00 per 5x5 foot pen.
