This year, we are asking 4-H’ers and FFA members to send us pictures of themselves with their Kansas State Fair project. The best photo/project will receive a one-hundred-dollar gift certificate to Long’s of Hutchinson, a downtown store that has everything from boots, jeans and western wear to casual clothing and accessories.

All 4-H’ers and other youth need to do is upload their photos. At the end of the fair, we will announce the winner of the contest on the Kansas Agland website, as well as contact the winner. Kansas Agland will have all the fair results posted, as well.

Those entering should make sure they have proper cutline information, including who is in the photo and what the project is, as well as contact information, including e-mail and a phone number. Some of these photos will run in our newspaper during and after the fair.

Attorney General Steve Six has joined Kansas with 10 other states in an effort to head off federal regulation of greenhouse gases.

They seek to block federal courts from proceeding with a trial that Six says could lead to more restrictions on carbon emissions by utilities and other industries.
