Four-year-old Grace Zwilling (pictured with Miette Woolworth leading her) won first place in small fry showmanship – done without adult assistance – and first place, second place, and five third place for gaming. She also won three ribbons for showing a baby goat.

Seven-year-old Jaxon Paulson won blue ribbons in all small fry gaming events. He also won grand champion in his trail class. This is the first time Paulsen rode independently (without a lead line) at the fair.
