A SPECIAL AWARD -- Cole Roeder, 18, a member of the High Forest Chippewa Champions 4-H Club, earned the Mike Hurley Memorial Award at last week's Olmsted County Fair.  The award is given annually to the area 4-H club member who shows the reserve grand champion beef steer at the fair.  The award is special for Cole because his dad, Robby, was Mike Hurley's good friend and business partner in the late 1970s and early 1980s.  "It's nice to have this," he said.
