Meet the Board: Greg


Hello and welcome to the Pope County Fair blog!  My name is Greg Weidauer, and I am the Vice President  of the fair board this year. 
I am originally from Northwest Iowa where we raised row crops and had a diversified livestock farm, where we had a commercial cow calf operation and feed yard, along with a farrow to finish operation .  I attended NDSU, majoring in Animal and Range Science. I am currently employed as a conductor for the Canadian Pacific Railroad here in Glenwood.  I live Northwest of Starbuck with my wife, Liz, and our two children, Colin and Sara where we raise purebred Dorset and Shropshire sheep.  I am a member of the Glenwood Masonic Valley Lodge #174, and also a member of the Minnewaska Baseball Association where I help coach youth baseball.  I coach youth football in the fall. 


I serve on several livestock committees including sheep and swine.  I am also the superintendent of the beef, jackpot lamb and jackpot steer show.  The "barns" hold my fondest memories from my time in  4-H as a youngster in Iowa. 
I would like to congratulate the new Miss Minnewaska Queen, Alecia Johnson, and her Princesses, Jill Cihlar and Shayla Paulzine.  All three of these ladies are active with Pope County 4-H. 
I am looking forward to visiting with old and new friends over a bag of mini doughnuts at the 2010 Pope County Fair!
