This year the fair will be putting on the event instead of renting out the space, as it has done in the past, to the West Coast Monster Truck na- tionals event previously held each October. Fair Manager and CEO Mandy Staley said the reason for the fair hosting the monster truck event was financial, including the potential for future profit and growth. The theme this year is "Country Fair USA," chosen by Tehama District Fair Board members as part of a contest on the fair's Facebook page. Fair fan Yuri Souza won the contest and will receive a free family pack to the fair, which in- cludes three carnival ride wristbands, four gen- eral admission tickets and one parking pass. American flags will be a part of the decora- tions to go along with the theme and election year and will bring a hometown country feel to the fair, Staley said. Throughout the reorganizing and rebuilding of the fair there have been some changes, the biggest of which is a move back to the sum- mertime for next year's fair. After this year, the Tehama District Fair will be held in mid July. The 2017 Tehama District Fair is scheduled for July 13-16. For more information about the fair visit te- hamadistrictfair.com. Premium books are expected to be available and tickets on sale at the fair office by the mid- dle of July.

PAGE A7 CALIFORNIA Police panned for slow response to Capitol clash By Madison McCarty FFA reporter The Red Bluff High School Agricultural teachers attended the 97th annual California Ag- ricultural Teachers' Association conference at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, from June 19-23. The purpose of the conference is to promote and improve the teaching of agriculture in Califor- nia, and to strengthen the pros- perity of those engaged in this work. On the last night of the con- ference the association hosted the annual awards banquet held at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo. This banquet is put on to recognize the agriculture teach- ers who dedicate their lives to the profession to agriculture, and achieve excellence while doing so. One of Red Bluff High School's agriculture teachers, Lauren Stroud, was awarded the "Cali- fornia Agriscience Teacher of the Year" award. This award recog- nizes one California agriculture science teacher who achieves suc- cess in the areas of inquiry based teaching, project based teach- ing, supporting student success in FFA, building community and industry partnerships, program promotion and increasing rigor in their ag science programs. Stroud has been teaching ag science at Red Bluff High for four years. Prior to being hired at Red Bluff she taught for six years in the Central Valley, totalling 10 years of ag science teaching ex- perience. Since joining the agricul- ture teaching team at Red Bluff, Stroud has added two rigorous ag science courses to the course offerings, both earning students graduation and UC entrance lab science credit. She led a group of more than 30 agriculture and traditional science teachers from throughout the state in the devel- RED BLUFF HIGH St ro ud na me d Ag ri sc ie nc e Te ac her o f th e Ye ar COURTESY PHOTO Red Bluff High School ag teacher Lauren Stroud was named "California Agriscience Teacher of the Year." By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdaily- news.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The Livestock Breeding and Prospect Show Spring Spectacular, hosted by Westside 4-H, was held Saturday and Sun- day at the Tehama District Fairground to showcase Te- hama County 4-H and Fu- ture Farmers of America members' livestock and teach tips on how to show animals. More than 89 FFA and 4-H members came from all over the county with about 120 animals to learn from Adam Mendonza, the judge for the two-day event, and gain more expe- rience in showing an ani- mal to prepare for the Te- hama District Fair in Sep- tember. The members who have been raising dairy and beef cattle and swine and hogs started the event Saturday with classes geared toward those animals. Sunday was for members who brought their sheep and their meat and dairy goats. Mendonza, who was there to help members with their showmanship and presenting their animals, asked each member what they liked about their an- imal and what they would want to change about their animal. Knowing what to work on in the time before fair is important, he said. Mendonza said know- ing the genetics of the pig, or any animal, and where each cut of meat is were important when the time comes to take the animals to market. Later in each day of the event Mendonza looked at each animal and advised the members of any di- etary or physical appear- ance changes he'd suggest for a better market value. Gracie Price, a sixth- grader from Bowman 4-H, said she is excited for the fair and was learning so much at the spring spec- tacular about how to be a better showman. Price has learned about the different parts of a pig and how to better care for her pig, she said. She found that learning about the dif- ferent sicknesses an animal could get was really inter- esting. Tate Price, a fifth-grader also from Bowman 4-H, learned about the impor- tance of preventing heat exhaustion in a pig and the different kind of pigs at the event, he said. The best times to work and train with a pig is early in the morning and late at night when its temperature has cooled down. Lastly, Mendonza said as the fair gets closer it is im- portant to work with the pigs longer, slowly adding more time each week. 4-H AND FFA SPRING SPECTACULAR HELPS MEMBERS LEARN HEATHER HOELSCHER — DAILY NEWS Tehama County Future Farmers of America and 4-H members join together to learn the basic skills of showing an animal to prepare for the Tehama District Fair in September.
