Every other year a Washington State Fairs Commissioner judges the fair in numerous areas. The Commissioner has the option to present the coveted "Black and White Ribbon" to an area of the fair that he feels not only meets the judging guidelines, but goes above in educational value and presentation. This year, that ribbon was awarded to the swine bard. Swine Superintendents Daryl Flock (l) and Nicole Abel (r) organized and supervised the barn that housed the animals of 134 4-H and FFA members. David Loran, of Waitsburg, was a big winner at the Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days, prior to the Aug. 28 Chris Jansen concert. The K-Wheat listener had previously qualified to "barrel race" with a stick horse, competing against two other listeners. Loran was the fastest of the three earinng him a Las Vegas rodeo vacation. He then rolled a pair of dice with a chance to win a truck from Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Walla Walla. He didn't win the truck but walked away with another $50 in his pocket. Congratulations, David!
