4-H Carnival, Ag
Expo this week
BY KARLA POMEROY
In. observance of Na-
tional Ag Week and Ag
Day, the UWCES is host-
ing its annual Ag Expo for
Big Horn County third and
fourth graders at the Big
Horn County Fairgrounds
Friday from 9 a.m. to noon.
During a meeting with
the Big Horn County Com-
missioners Tuesday, Ag Ed-
ucator Dallen Smith talked
about the ag expo and the
importance of teaching the
area youth about where our
food and clothing comes
from. He said last year one
child, after visiting the cow
milking booth, said, "I don't
get my milk from a cow, I
get it at the store."
Dave Caldwell, a teach-
er from Greybull, said last
year was his first experience
at the Ag Expo. He told the
commissioners that he was
"real impressed" with the
event. "Even though we're a
fairly rural area, there are a
lot of kids who know where
food and clothes come from
and what the benefits of ag-
riculture are. If we lose ag-
riculture in America we'd
be in a world of hurt, far
more than if we lose oil
somewhere else," Caldwell
said.
Big Horn County 4-H is
hosting its annual carnival
on Saturday with a theme
of Mardi Gras. The carni-
val runs from 6-8 p.m. at
the Big Horn County Fair-
grounds in Basin.
The community is wel-
come to join the 4-Hers,
parents, leaders and coun-
cil members for an evening
of ftm.
For further informa-
tion, call the 4-H office, 765-
2868.
Mustang Committee
meeting Tuesday
The Lovell Mustang
Committee has scheduled
a planning committee for
next Tuesday, March 23, at
6 p.m. at the Big Horn Fed-
eral meeting room.
Chairman Kirsten Bry-
son said the committee is
still seeking a volunteer (or

fun run this year. If inter-
ested, call 272-5572.
Everyone is welcome to
attend Tuesday's meeting.
Relay For Life kick-off
rally March 30
Hoping to build on the
momentum generated by
last summer's event, the
Big Horn County Relay for
Life planning committee
has already scheduled its
2010 kickoff rally. Lovell's
kickoff is Tuesday, March
30, at 6 p.m. at the Lovell
High School library, 502
Hampshire Ave.
The American Cancer
Society Big Horn County
Relay For Life is set for July
30-31, at the Lovell High
School athletic field. Last
year's event saw 15 teams
from throughout the coun-
ty raise more than $36,759
for the Society. In 2008,
the county raised $50,531
and in 2007, $22,547 was
raised.
"We had 79 cancer sur-
vivors walking the ceremo-
nial opening lap last year.
That's proof the money
being raised through events
such as Relay For Life is
helping in the fight to find
a cure for this terrible di-
sease," committee member
Denise Harrison said.
The kickoff rally will
give those who have been
involved with Relay For
Life in the past the oppor-
tunity to learn about the
innovations planned for
the coming year and to of-
fer any fresh ideas. It will
also be a chance for those
new to the Relay to ask any
questions before they com-
mit to forming:or,joining a
: team: Teams:re typically
