The Crook County Fair Board has elected to
discuss the alleged mistake made in the sale of
this year's prize steer at the Junior Livestock
Fair at a special meeting later this month. The
decision was made on the advice of Joe Baron,
County Attorney.
Baron's recommendation, made at the Fair
Board's regular monthly meeting, was to set
the matter aside to allow time for it to be the
sole matter to bediscussed and resolved at the
special meeting.• Teresa Fordyce, Who brought
the matter before the board, agreed to the deci-
sion and submitted her official complaint and
$50 fee to the board with a request for official
board action.
"I would like a date and time set for the meet-
ing tonight," she added. "This has gone on for
a while now."
A motion was passed to hold the special
meeting, administered by-an impartial media-
tor. The Sale Superintendent and Baron were
• both invited, but not required, to attend.
Upon Fordyce's query as to whether there will
be a timeframe for her to submit the names
of speakers, the motion was amended to al-
low names to be presented to the Fair Secre-
tary until no later than two days before the
meeting.
As both sides needed to agree on the choice
of mediator, Baron advised the board that
selection needed to take place at the regular
meeting.
The board proposed asking Bruce Brown to
mediate on the basis that he is knowledge-
able about the fair, policiesand procedures
and able to be impartial. Fordyce agreed to
the suggestion.
However, the Wyoming Department of Ag-
riculture's Mediation Coordinator was then
proposed, and, on Fordyce's approval, high-
lighted as first choice. The Mediation Pro-
gram is a process by which Wyoming citizens
can resolve their disputes through open,
honest discussion and, as pointed out by
Board Member Andrea Driskill, will involve a
mediator from outside Crook County.
The special meeting is scheduled for Decem-
ber 19 at 6 p.m. at the County Fairgrounds.
City Hall will be closed on Monday
Dec. 24th and Tuesday, Dec. 25th
Monday garbage will be picked up

about food. After enjoying
some fun food stories and flan-

chefs as the dirt cups were
yummy. Things did get a little
messy but not too bad.
