Kruse, along with his brother Jonathan and Mason Riemers, comprised the opening Small Animal class, each earning a purple ribbon with their knowledge and presentations. Jonathan also had a hamster, while Riemers' showed an American Bullfrog.

Capping competition Saturday was the dog show, where Kelsey Miller of Sidney earned the first Grand Champion ribbon of this year's fair, showing her furry friend Molly.

Horses took to the ring Sunday, when the 4-H Open Class Horse show got underway, beginning with the Halter Class.
