After winning the Supreme 4-H Dairy Champion award Tuesday afternoon in the Youth Show Arena at the annual Crawford County Fair, Courtney Carey, 16 of Titusville, embraces Candy Morrell, of Meadville. Morrell’s husband, Cochranton dairy legend Bob Morrell was killed in July as a result of a traffic accident. Mr. Morrell had been showing cattle at the Crawford County Fair for over 40 years. “He was like another dad to me.” “I just really looked up to him,” says Carey of Morrell.

My kind of picture.......
When I came into the photo department of The Meadville Tribune Harmony Motter told me how she had taken her 'kind of photo' today(the one up top of this post.) This was great to hear and her excitement really was energizing. As I was struggling to stop the fast paced action of the FMX series event at the fair those words came into my head - my 'kind of photo!' So instead of trying to do something nearly impossible with the waning light, I calmed down and looked for my kind of photo and there it was. At first I thought this kid was picking his nose and I shot that, but getting back and looking closely it was more of a scratch and he was looking at me, so this photo seemed more of a moment unaffected by my being there. After I got this frame all of a sudden I was finding myself stopping the action--good things make other good thing happen. Meadville Tribune photo by Richard Sayer
