At the NCW District Fair in August, members of Cashmere’s Open Pastures 4-H Club added some personal touches to their horses’ fly masks: painted-on eyes that represent each horse’s personality. Kamille Cummings, 15, explains that Gunner's "eyes" (which include science-lab glasses) reflect his tendency to be laid-back ... but smart. See story at right for this year's fair results.

The area's horse community shines at Douglas County's big whoop-de-do in Waterville. Are your friends among the winners?
