SUMMARY: Despite the heat, local buckaroos are competing in the Pon Talk County 4-H Livestock Show. To keep everyone cool, extra fans, water faucets, and ice have been added.

Nonetheless, 4-H members remain undeterred as they work hard all year for this event. Stal emphasizes the program's importance, highlighting its role in helping kids develop as well-rounded individuals who learn respect, responsibility, and business skills. The event also features a Dominoes tournament, a cornhole tournament, and an 8 PM rodeo.
