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!
