Tampa can be proud of its 4-H youth. The Tampa Triple T's made the grand champion banner at the Marion County fair, and their parade float took second. Kristin Mueller and Jackie Klenda were attendants to the fair queen. The club's grand champions included Kristine Jirak, style revue (constructed); Nicholas Kleiber, style revue (both constructed and purchased), sub-novice dog; Jackie Klenda, crocheting; Justin Deines, Exploring 4-H; Shaina Makovec, photography; Andrea Kleiber, arts and crafts; Jacob Jirak, fine arts; Lauren Geis, dog showmanship; Kristin Mueller, round robin, dairy showmanship, senior dairy showmanship; Chris Will, Simmental; and Darren Mueller, dairy cow, supreme dairy, Holstein dairy. Those bringing home reserve champion ribbons included Kristine Jirak, clothing, constructed clothing, style revue (constructed), food exhibit (level 3 and level 4); Julie Rziha, style revue (constructed); Amanda Kleiber, style revue (purchased); Shelby Deines, style revue (purchased); Nicholas Kleiber, style revue (constructed), junior dog showmanship, electricity exhibit; Cole Svoboda; fine arts, Chris Will, senior beef showmanship; Lucas Hamm, commercial female beef, Maine-Anjou steer; Lauren Geis, beef; Allie Will, Hereford steer; Laura Klenda, Simmental steer; Kevin Mueller, dairy showmanship; and Darren Mueller, junior dairy showmanship. A new Tampa resident, Nathan Barney, while a member of the Lincolnville Wideawake Club, deserves recognition for earning a reserve championship in entomology. Tampa youth also won too many purple and blue ribbons to be mentioned here. Great work! If there are errors in this list, blame your correspondent.
