Ten-year-old Ryan Elias Meneely comes from five generations of ranchers on his mother’s side, and if this past Sunday is any indication, there could be a sixth. For the second year in a row Ryan, a member of the White Pine 4-H Club, could be seen in the sale arena with a pig project. He guided his 217-pound pig, Fred Jones Meneely, around the pen of wood shavings at the Blaine County Fair, as observers filled the bleachers; men in jeans and baseball caps shouting out bids. In the end, Fred Jones netted Ryan $850 from the top...
(Havre Daily News reporter John Paul Schmidt spent two days as a carnival worker at the Blaine County Fair. This follows up on his stint as a pig wrestler at the Great Northern Fair last year. Here is his report on his adventure in Chinook.)

Editor: I am writing about the events at the Great Northern Fair. You switch around so much that the public cannot know what event is on what night. I know you are trying to find the right night for them, but I wish you would let the public know ahead of time so we can work around it. I went to the Great Northern Fair one year and I found out that I was there on the wrong night. There was a tractor pull or something. I was devastated. I have been going to the rodeo and fair for as long as I can remember. That year was the...
Editor: I am appalled to live in a world where every four or eight years we are bound by the laws of the republic to chose a man or a woman — black, white, Asian, Latino, Native American, Mexican-American, any sexual orientation and just whatever else I’ve left out which is surely not intentional. And out of this group of people we allow them to try and sway our vote by calling names and Tweeting words that only hurt people and further denigrate the younger generation into believing that these are the people who will live at...
