Colorado State Fair General Manager Reinstates Weinroth Siblings
PUEBLO, Colo. – The State Fair found the presence of an
unapproved growth stimulant in goats 501 and 507 following competition in last
year’s Colorado State Fair.
Chris Wiseman, General Manager of the Colorado State Fair is
pleased to say that “Due to the circumstances, I have determined that Ben Weinroth may compete in this year’s State Fair pursuant to
his status as a member in good standing with the Colorado 4-H. If Maggie were not aged out, she would be
eligible to compete as well.”
Sue Weinroth, mother of the children says, “Maggie and Ben are happy this is behind them and that this case is resolved and thank the State Fair for working with them on this issue.”
