Each year, the Albany County 4-H Council holds a county-wide carnival, and each club in Albany County must make a booth to run during the carnival. This year, the carnival theme was “Marti Gras” (even though the date did not coincide with Marti Gras). Not to be deterred, the High Plains 4-H Club, under the leadership of our carnival committee chairman, David Decker, made our traditional rubber-band shooting gallery booth, which of course featured the notorious HIGH PLAINS CARNIVAL CONTRAPTION. Not to sound like I’m bragging, but it won 1st place at the carnival.
