Katie Carrasco hangs on while
her passenger snoozes under a soothing sun as
their zippy four-seater grin-mobile circles a
track Saturday at the Curry County fairgrounds
in Gold Beach. By the end of the ride, just a
couple minutes later, KatieÕs head, too,
was nodding as she slipped off into dreamland.
The Citrus Heights, Calif., 3-year-old spent the
afternoon with her grandma, Barbara Stockman of
Harbor, looking at animals and visiting a clown
handing out balloons.

Horses with riders sauntered lazily in a circle
at a corral at the Curry County fairgrounds on Saturday
in Gold Beach. They were awaiting competition in
a nearby barn. |

Righetti, left, talks with onlookers about her Yorkshire
cross, Dude, Saturday afternoon. It was Righetti's
first time competing as a 4-H member at the fair.
The Brookings girl and her placid companion took
home ribbons in confirmation and showmanship. Throughout
the year, Dude was a challenging project, eating
up Righetti's profits from selling chicken eggs.
"He's a healthy hog with a lot of personality,"
Righetti wrote on a flyer she handed out to potential
buyers. On the first day of the fair, the porker
tipped the scales at 280 pounds. |
