TrentTomlinsom
Singer/songwriter Trent Tomlinson is one of those rare performers whose music is as straight-ahead and unpretentious as he is.
"My songs," he says simply, "are real-life situations with kick-ass guitar." "It's 'open a beer, sit in a lawn chair, let's have a party'
country," he says of his music. "At the same time, the songs are saying, 'I have the ability to love you, to understand,' and at the
end of the day all that matters is Mama and Daddy and going to heaven. That pretty much sums everything up. "Trent honed his
music to perfection in countless demo studios over the years.”I've had five publishing deals," he says. "I've practically lived in the
studio, creating and honing a sound of my own. And it turns out that five of the songs on the album record are actually my demos - Lyric Street loved them so much as is that we just went in and re-sang and tweaked a little, instead of re-recording."
In fact, Trent was involved in every aspect of song selection and production on his album which is unusual for a new artist. That
level of involvement is testament to his ability to turn the long hard road to stardom to his advantage. Although, he had written
songs for Emerson Drive and Blue County, among others, Trent's career had amounted to a frustrating series of publishing deals
until he had a breakthrough about two years ago. He was writing at Cal IV Entertainment, a Music City publishing company, when,
"I kind of found myself," Trent says. "I basically admitted the truth about who I am and what I am, my demons and insecurities -the ones that I run from on a day-to-day basis -- and began putting them into my songs."
He immediately noticed the change in his songwriting. "It was like, 'all right," says Trent, "now I believe this guy." As he was
honing his craft, his singing also continued to get better. "It was at this point that my whole world changed -- as a songwriter, as
an artist, as everything. The truth will set you free."
The music began connecting for the reason great music always does--people identified with it. "Songs," Trent says, "are one of
those places where you can hear someone talking about their problems and you say, 'I'm not alone.'"
Once he concentrated on writing songs that reflected his psyche, and dealt with topics like drinking, camaraderie, broken dreams
and relationships, Trent found his fortunes reversing rapidly. He demoed and pitched "Hey Batter Batter," a clever take on barroom
rancor, and quickly found Lyric Street Record's Senior Vice President of A&R, Doug Howard and President, Randy Goodman wanting
to hear more. Trent showcased the new material for them in October 2004 and two months later he had a record deal.
Country Is My Rock brings Trent's emotional honesty and eye for detail to vignettes detailing both the good and bad of life and love.
"She Might Just Have Her Radio On" and "I Was Gonna Leave Tomorrow Anyway" deal with the aftermath of relationships while
"The Bottle" looks at the dark side of life and "Drunker Than Me," is an offbeat and hilarious look at being forced to be the
responsible one on a night out. The CD's combination of truth, pathos and humor give it both accessibility and real depth, and its
hard-charging musical approach makes it all compelling.
Trent began his musical journey in Kennett, Missouri, which is also the home town of Sheryl Crow. His 6'8" father is a former
basketball star who set scoring records at the University of Missouri and was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers before knee surgery
knocked him out. He was also the basketball coach and biology teacher at Trent's high school, and a tough taskmaster.
"I learned about the meaning of hard work," says Trent, "and what can happen in life when you work as hard as you can." His
father groomed him for basketball stardom, and Trent was a starter in his freshman year in high school. "The trouble was," he says,
"I could score 32 points and on the way home he'd be on me about why I didn't take the charging foul in the fourth quarter."
Along the way, he realized basketball was not going to be the way he would spend his life. "Realistically," he says, "I'm 6'2". No
matter how good my jump shot is, Kobe Bryant's going to slap it out of the gym."
He turned early to music, recalling the days when his parents would sing to him as a child. His mother wanted him to take piano
lessons, but the classics weren't for Trent. "I wanted to play like Jerry Lee Lewis," he says, "so I quit the lessons and taught myself.
Then I realized I couldn't carry a piano around to parties and gigs, so I bought a guitar and started playing that."
He found himself drawn to the other musicians in school -- "people I wouldn't have hung out with otherwise" -- and it wasn't long
before he was sneaking out to work in the bars in his home town, playing rock before settling into country. Then, in his junior year
in high school, he auditioned locally for TNN's talent show "You Can Be A Star," and week after week he won and moved up in the
competition, eventually reaching Nashville and the finals.
6
"I was first runner-up by two-tenths of a point," he says with a rueful laugh. "The girl who won took home fifty thousand dollars,
and I got a denim jacket with the TNN logo on the back." It was a hardcore lesson in the winner-take-all world of high-stakes
music, but it was also an affirmation that he had real talent, although his father was slow to get on board.
"It let me know I had something going on," he says, "but my dad was going to need more convincing, especially since I had to miss
some ball games. It would have been easier if I'd come back home with the fifty thousand."
He tried college, but says, "I didn't want to wake up eventually kicking myself in the rear end for not knowing what would have
happened if I'd tried music." He left for Nashville after six months.
Trent took a job with Stanley Steamer and began hanging out at a club called Barbara's in Nashville's renowned Printer's Alley,
making money there and at other clubs by winning talent contests. He landed a cut on a Johnny Rodriguez record and began
looking for more opportunities.
"I remember one time when I literally had a dollar to my name," he says. "I bought a soda for 50 cents and used a quarter to call
Frank Masick, a tape copy guy at Kimber Kay Music, who had given me his card. He told me to bring some stuff over. I had two
demos I had given up the publishing on because I couldn't afford the studio time, and I went over with Kevin Durham, a buddy and
co-writer of mine. We were waiting in the lobby and the President of the company was there and he invited us back into his office. I
played him the two demos, which were ballads, and he said, "I love them. Have you got anything up-tempo?" I said, "Yeah, but not
on tape." He pointed to the guitar in the corner and told me to sing a couple of them, so we did. When we got done, he gave us
publishing and production deals and handed us a check."
The short-lived duo of Trent and Dean lasted until the publishing company went bankrupt, immediately after a successful Polydor
Records showcase. "I lost a publishing deal and a record deal in three days," he says.
Trent went back to Missouri to clear his head, and while he was there he got word that publishing legend Buddy Killen had bought
his catalog out of bankruptcy court. Trent met with Killen, who offered him another publishing deal. After a year-and-a-half, he got
a deal with MCA Publishing for the best salary he seen since moving to Nashville but before long a corporate takeover left his
backers on the street. After scoring several publishing deals, Trent was parking cars at the airport.
Then came the deal at Cal IV Entertainment which Trent calls "the turning point." He began writing "more progressive country," and
landed three cuts on the first Emerson Drive record. He also cut some sides for Lyric Street Records, but A&R chief Doug Howard
"knew that I was getting close but that I wasn't quite there. It was a blessing in disguise that nothing happened at the time." His
epiphany came at that point, and everything he had learned and been through came together musically in a way that Lyric Street
bought into whole-heartedly.
"Luckily," he says, "my vision was their vision." Even his father is among the converts. "At one time," he laughs, "he thought it was
all a pipe dream. Now he's calling with song ideas."
Trent is, after all this time, in the enviable position of having life and music come together successfully. He has written a song for
the new Sara Evans album, and his debut album, Country Is My Rock, is ratifying the path he's taken.
"For me, the hardest part was letting it all out," he says, "but that's become my way for dealing with my darker side. Writing songs
and singing help me to understand it and move on. Hopefully, the reception Country Is My Rock is getting means that other people
are getting something out of it too.

A 4-H club is formed when the boys and girls in a community organize themselves into a group with their own officers and own local program with the guidance of
an adult man or woman advisor (who serves voluntarily). Each member has an individual project related to topic of interest to them. 4-H is not only for rural youth, but for
urban boys and girls, too.
Members serve as officers and on committees in their own clubs, take projects, and do many other worthwhile activities. They learn to cooperate by cooperating.
County Extension Agents serve as organizers and supervisors of the 4-H program with the assistance of the county 4-H Committee.
The 4-H emblem is a four-leaf clover with the letter "H" on each leaflet. These stand for
Head, Heart, Hands and Health. The four-leaf clover signifies "Good Luck" and "Achievement."
The 4-H Pledge is:
I Pledge
My head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service, and
My health to better living,
For my club, my community,
My country and my world.
The 4-H Motto is: "To Make the Best Better." The 4-H colors are green and white.
4-H members learn to do by doing. By helping them to do important work, by bringing them together for exchange of views, by recognizing a job well done and by
intelligent leadership, 4-H club work builds citizens for a better America.
Presently, there are approximately 411 boys and girls enrolled in 42 4-H clubs in Meigs County. There are also 105 Cloverbud members (ages 5 – 8). These young
people represent a very important segment of the club members in Ohio. Each 4-H club member performs some useful work. Although it may be small at the start, the efforts of
many members when added together gain significance. Whenever there is a small group of boys and girls, there is need for a 4-H club.

GENERAL RULES
1.

and “C” exhibits. “C” exhibits will be of average merit. Those that do not meet desirable standards will be graded “D”, and will not receive a ribbon or award. The
final grade to determine ribbons will be based on a judge's grade, and judging at the fair. All project books must be brought to the judging or interview. Basic
awards will be made to each exhibitor on basis of grades as follows:

INSERT A PICTURE OF FFA
FFA
This educational program in Meigs County is open to all boys and girls who are Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors or Seniors. At present, students can become
members at Meigs High School or Southern High School. However, they must be enrolled in an agricultural class to be a member of the FFA.
The FFA encourages the use of an SAE (Supervised Agriculture Experiment) program to help provide hands on experience in agriculture. Projects exhibited at Fairs
are the results of some of these learning activities. Each member has an individual project related to a topic of interest to them.
FFA is not only for rural youth, but for urban boys and girls, too. Members take part in career development events to further their experience and interests in
agriculture. They also serve as officers and on committees. They develop group projects such as fruit sales, petting zoo and community projects where cooperation is taught.
While the FFA used to stand for Future Farmers of America, this name was dropped in 1993 due to the changes within the organization. The realization that AgriBusiness, soils, environment, food services, bio genetics and much more is as important to Agriculture as well as farmers prompted the dropping of this name. Yet the symbol of
FFA is difficult to change due to the outstanding history of our organization. Today FFA simply stands for a youth organization that is interested in any or all facets of
agriculture.
The FFA motto is:
Learning to do
Doing to Earn
Earning to Live
Living to Serve.
FFA members learn by doing. If students will follow the FFA motto today, they will become
good citizens of tomorrow.
Presently there are over 120 boys and girls in the two FFA programs in Meigs County.
FFA Farm Crops - Horticulture Rules:
1.
Only 1 entry per person, per class.
2.
All exhibits shall be correctly named and labeled.
3.
All produce must be grown by the exhibitor.
4.
In classes where there are 5 or more entries, the judge may award a grand or reserve
champion.
5.
Produce must be of proper maturity and good quality.

DEPARTMENT II - HORSE PULLING CONTEST
Wednesday, August 13, 2008 – 7:30 P.M.
Superintendent: Bob Calaway
Brian Windon, Brent Zirkle, Ron Hensley
Weigh-In Time - 5:30 p.m.
Entry Fee: $10.00 per team.
See General Rules for further instructions where applicable.
The value of draft animals depends upon their ability to pull and capacity to endure sustained efforts. The object of this test is to determine the sustained maximum
pulling capacity of each pair. These tests will also afford valuable scientific data on the relation between form and function in draft animals and should stimulate general interest
in the breeding and use of good draft horses and mules. In particular it is desired:
(a) To determine the value of type and proper breeding in the selection of horses and mules intended for long and arduous draft work.
(b) To ascertain and demonstrate the proper method of training and conditioning horses and mules for long and severe draft work.
(c) To encourage horsemanship in fitting horses and in driving.
(d) To demonstrate the maximum pulling capacity of the horses and mules.
The committee shall have full jurisdiction over, as well as power to decide, all questions arising in connection with the contest subject to the rules and administration as
provided. They shall determine the winners and awarded prizes in accordance with the rules. Failure to comply promptly with the directions of the committee shall result in
immediate disqualification of a contestant. The decision of the majority of the committee concerning any matter arising in connection with the contest shall be final. Horses or
driver may be disqualified at anytime by the committee either for the violation of one or more of the conditions of the contest or because the contesting team's condition is such
as to render it cruel or inadvisable to permit the team to proceed further.
ELIGIBILITY: OPEN TO THE WORLD. Horses and mules, regardless of where owned, are eligible to enter this contest.
CONDITIONS- A stone boat loaded with cement blocks will be used. Owners must furnish their own feed.
2008 OFMA DRAFT HORSE PULLING RULES
Draft horses: The distance for each pull shall be 27 feet, but a distance of less than 27 feet will be used to determine the winner or placement at the end of contest. The
second best distance will break ties.
The distance between the side boundaries for draft horses shall be at least 15 feet. Teams must stay within the side boundaries while pulling. If a horse touches the rope
regardless, it nullifies the pull unless the back judge whistle blows for full distance of stoppage of sled prior to rope being touched.
All teams must take a first pull. Each team shall take first and second while hitched to the sled. Drivers may pass their second pull. A third pull may be taken after
all teams have had their first and second pull. You must take a first pull, with second pull optional to be eligible for third pull. Drivers shall have six tries to get hitched (first and
second pull attempts). If he misses all six, the team shall be placed in the contest at this time, with distance of the best pull prior to this attempt. If team is deemed
unmanageable by the judges, then team shall be disqualified, placed last, and no moneys or other awards shall be given. You will have three minutes to get hooked to the sled
and make your first pull. The time starts when the announcer calls your name. You shall have two minutes between your first and second pulls. On a third pull you shall have
three minutes, from the time the announcer calls your name, to get hitched. Failure to do so will place you in the contest with the best distance of your previous pull. If the team
is deemed unmanageable by the judges, then the team shall be disqualified, placed last, and no moneys or awards shall be given.
The first and second pull shall be in the direction indicated by the judges. A third pull may be taken in either direction providing enough room remains on the track.
If a team is hooked to the sled and keeps bumping it, they may have to go the same direction even if they pass the turn around point. Any forward movement of the load after the
driver gives the command to go shall be counted as a pull. Judges may require the teamster to straighten the sled. Judges shall determine if a break allows a new pull. If the
horse(s) or ponies get tangled and need to be headed, they must unhook and leave the sled and then hook back on for the same pull. Teamsters must have the judge’s approval to
unhook. A whistle or signal shall be given when the team has made the distance or committed an error nullifying distance. The driver must stop the team immediately after the
signal.
Draft horses: No heading is allowed anytime a horse is inside a rope. No touching, petting, or speaking to horses by helpers at anytime. No touching or petting of horses
by driver. Any violation of the above will result in loss of that pull.
Each team shall be driven by one driver through the entire contest except in case of an injury or if the contestant chooses to switch drivers. This can only be done on a first
attempt to hitch to a new load, and only with judge’s approval. You can only make a change in drivers one time. Each driver shall be allowed no more than two helpers in
hitching. Helpers must stay behind hitch point when horses or ponies are pulling. All other individuals shall remain away from pulling track in approved viewing area.
Individual shall be given warning first time, and two (2) occurrences shall be grounds for removal from pulling arena. No pulls shall be allowed to start with individuals in such
areas. The driver may have a helper on lines until a horse(s), has foot inside the ropes. The pull will be forfeited if the liens are not release. Drivers shall drive with reasonable
tight lines. In no case shall a driver be allowed to stimulate or excite horse(s) with lines(s), including, but not limited to, slapping, whirling, or shaking of the line(s). Drivers
shall not touch horses in any manner, but shall be allowed to drive from in front of the doubletree. Any violation of the above will result in loss of the pull. A contestant shall be
disqualified by judges, officers, fair directors or other competent official for, but not limited to, the following: A: undue abuse or treatment to horses on or off the pulling tract.
B: undue profanity. C: Administration of any foreign substance by dermal, inhalation, oral or potential route. D: the use of any electrical or mechanical device that could be
used to stimulate horse(s) If any team is unmanageable or difficult to handle, in the opinion of the judges or board, the team shall be disqualified, placed last, no moneys or other
awards given, and shall be ordered to be taken from the field. A: By participation in this event, at least one competing member of the team is subject to testing for foreign
substances and to submit to blood and/or urine sample collection. B: Refusal to submit a horse(s) to blood and/or urine sample collection shall result in disqualification of the
teamster from the competition and forfeiture of all moneys and prizes from the competition in which the refusal occurred. Teamster shall be subject to any other penalty as if he
had been found with a positive substance. C: Teamster will be required to unharness the horses in a timely manner. D: Teamster must cooperate with the licensed veterinarian
and the sponsor in obtaining the test sample. Agriculture Society and/or Association shall provide assistance to the veterinarian in selection of correct teams. Agriculture
Society shall provide personal for aiding in urine collection. E: The sponsor reserves the right to detain the horses for a period of up to two hours for the purpose of obtaining a
urine sample. After two hours, a blood sample will be collected if no urine sample can be obtained. A blood sample will be collected to accompany each urine sample. F:
Refusal or failure of the teamster to sign the urine custody form will in no way affect the validity of the test specimen. G: No team shall leave the pulling arena without
authorization of sponsor and/or licensed veterinarian. H: Any team tested, prize moneys will be held until test results are completed and results are reported to the Fair Board.
Any foreign substance found in the blood and/or urine shall be deemed a positive test. Disciplinary action by the sponsor taken against a teamster for violation of any rule shall
be given full faith and credit and will be observed and enforced at all events by sponsors who adopt the uniform rules. I: The penalties shall be:
-One (1) year disablement for a positive test to any entrant, or entrants, as in case of a split team.
-Thirty (30) days disablement to drivers of any team testing positive if driver is non-entrant.
-Two (2) years disablement if an entrant refuses to have his team tested as outlined above. Driver, if not entrant, shall be given two (2) years disablement also.
Teams shall draw for position for pulling order. No late entry once a pair has taken their final pull (suggested method). In case of breakage, the team shall leave the track and
come in at the end of the round for their turn and pick up their proper place in the next round. No bits, chains, or extras shall be hung on the harness. Also there shall be no ropes
on the horses or harness. All teams shall pull with blinds on the bridles Scales for weighing shall open at least three hours before the pull starts. The scale shall close one-half
hour before start on AM pulls and one hour before PM pulls. The horses that are to pull together must be weighed together. Weighing must be done by the designated weigh
master at the time and place designated before the pull. An official shall hold horses while being weighted. Teamster may assist on end of lead rope. Division weight shall be
3300 pounds. From October 1 to July 1 the division weight shall be 3300 pounds. There is a 20-pound allowance for halters. No string halters are allowed. The heavy weight

blocks shall be added for a new load in the event pairs quit.
No lightweight horses shall be permitted to pull in the heavyweight contest except in case of not enough teams to make a good pull with the consent of the judges. They will go

fee of $5.00 shall be charged for each team entered in a competition.

Neither the fair board nor the show committee can accept the responsibility for lost or damaged items; therefore, the use of valuable articles must be discouraged.
Any treasured article belonging to the exhibitor may be removed after the judging and replaced by another suitable article so that the effectiveness of the exhibit will

An exhibitor may place only one artistic arrangement in each class. In the Horticulture section the exhibitor may enter up to four specimens with each to be a
different variety or type. Entry tags must be attached to horticulture exhibit containers, either by string or rubber band, to avoid becoming separated from the

of fresh plant material encouraged. Fresh plant material must not be artificially colored. Dried materials may be artificially colored or treated if the class requires.
