COSHOCTON - Ten youngsters com-
peted for the Showman of Showmen
title at the Coshocton County Fair
on Wednesday evening, Oct. 4. Each
of the 10 youth took their turn at
showing hogs, llamas, horses, goats,
sheep, small animals, poultry, fi elded
questions about dogs, feeder calves
and dairy. At the end of the evening
and traipsing from Hunter Arena to
the Junior Fair Barn then the dairy
barn and back to Hunter Arena for the
announcement of the winner, an en-
thusiastic Emily Bookless, a 16 year old
junior from Ridgewood and a member
of the Kamelid Kushers, took home the
title.
Bookless has competed in the contest
before and learned how to improve
each year. She said, “Th is is my third
year competing in the Showman of
Showmen. I am very
shocked about it - it is a lot of hard
work going between all the breeds and
trying to learn everything all in one
day but I’m really excited. It’s a fun
experience.”
“Th e toughest animal to show was
the sheep - just trying to brace it - I’m
very little so it was kind of hard. Th e
beef seemed the easiest to me (besides
the llama which Emily shows).
