Friday floriculture judging at the
Logan County Fair
[August 11, 2026]
Friday morning, gardeners
arrived at the fair with fresh flowers, herbs and potted plans for
second day of the Floriculture competition. Friday’s competition had
a junior division and two challenge classes in addition to potted
plants, cut flowers, arrangements, herbs and herb arrangements.
The junior division is open for kids under 17 with cut flower
annuals and perennials as well as two options for arrangements.
Friday’s themes included Route 66 and America. Herb arrangements
showcased three categories.
After the judging was completed, ribbons and points were totaled
from both Tuesday and Friday’s competition to determine the champion
exhibitor. This award goes to the person with the most blue ribbons
in all classes from both shows.
The sweepstakes award is the William Kavelman Memorial award, which
goes to the exhibitor with the highest points total for both Tuesday
and Friday.
Floriculture was a family affair,
with the gardening gene passing down through the generations. Jenna
Conrady and her sons Easton and Reid each won awards as did Jim
Wessbecher and his granddaughter Kaelyn Wessbecher.
