Competitions ended with the 2007 fair, but animals and farmers are back. Columnist David Allen makes hay with the news.
The fair hasn’t been without agriculture. A year-round garden with exotic fruits and vegetables is cultivated. A livestock superintendent from Oklahoma brought in hundreds of animals to gawk at, timed to produce dozens of live births every fair.is run by Cal Poly Pomona. And livestock competitions are back, in barns that for the past 15 years held static displays like olive oil.
“We used to get 400 cattle. Our last show, we had nine show up. You can’t run a show like that,” DeLano says. “The big show is the sheep show this weekend,” says Sasha Turnbull, the competitions coordinator, checking the entries for me on her computer. “It looks like 215 sheep, 66 angora goats and 13 cattle.”
When I meet her in the barn, the 73-year-old Mendenhall is in a pen, slipping a harness onto an ornery sheep of nearly 150 pounds that she calls “a problem child” before walking it to a different pen. Why travel 450 miles to Pomona? There may be good contacts to be made. It’s good for farming in general. And then there are the competitions.
