Barbeque at Webster Co Fairgrounds to Honor Terry Plambeck

     The Webster County Junior 4-H Leaders and Agriculture Association will host a Barbeque at the Webster County Fairgrounds on Saturday, March 14 to honor long time Webster County Fair Board member, Terry Plambeck, who lost his battle with cancer this past week and was laid to rest. His memory however is to live on with a celebration of his life, coupled with a fund drive to garner resources to build a new announcer’s box in his name at the Webster County Fairgrounds Rodeo Arena. It is something Terry always wanted to have replaced and what more fitting memorial could there be than a new facility in his name - or as many will refer to as “Terry’s Perch”!

     Terry dedicated 18 years of his life to serving on the Webster County Agriculture Association and particularly was heavily involved as the driving force behind the Rodeo that is held in conjunction with the Webster County Fair. He also was a huge supporter of the 4-H and FFA livestock program serving as livestock superintendent as well as fair board member. He was instrumental in developing the very successful market beef carcass contest and the Webster County home bred and raised heifer program.  The 4-H and FFA Programs benefitted from his hard work, vision and support and they want to give back to him in supporting this event in cooperation with his fellow members of the Agriculture Association (Fair Board) to put a lasting memorial to his hard work and dedication to the fair, the rodeo and the youth of our county.

     Please consider coming to the barbeque that will be held at the 4-H and FFA Exhibit Hall at the Webster County Fairgrounds in Bladen, NE.  A meal consisting of hamburgers, brats, hot dogs, chips, beans, desserts & drinks will be served from 5:00-7:30 pm and attendees may bid on many outstanding items that will be on display for a silent auction.  A dance will be held starting at 8:00 pm with music provided by “Complete Music”.  All proceeds from the meal, dance and auction will go towards building the new announcer’s box that will replace the current one. Not only is the facility used for the rodeo, it is used for the Webster County Fair 4-H Horse Show as well as other horse shows, penning and roping contests as well as other events. The new facility will be named in memory of Terry Plambeck.  Come join us in Bladen on March 14!
