Butler County Forensics Students Perform at State Fair

Two students from Circle High School and one from Flint Hills High School were among the two dozen from around the state of Kansas who performed at the sixth Kansas State Fair Forensics Showcase. The event held at the State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson last Thursday, September 15 and was sponsored by the Sterling College Forensics/Debate team. Forensics is competitive speaking and interpretation events. Students who had medaled at the State Forensics Championship Tournaments last May were invited to bring their award-winning performances to the State Fair audience. Representing Circle High School were Addi Scribner who performed her oration “On A Roll” and Abi Tucker who did a series of three poems. From Flint Hills High School was Kaily Gilman who performed a poetry piece entitled “Hugo Sprouts and the Strange Case of the Beans” by John Loren. “It was impressive to see so many strong performances,” said Sterling College Forensics Coach Ken Troyer who hosted the event. “Addi, Abi, and Kaily gave exceptionally strong, poised performances and represented themselves and their programs well. They are talented and could certainly continue performing and competing at the collegiate level.” First year Forensics Coach Ida Piper from Hugoton brought two showcase students as well as other students to the event. She had never been to the State Fair Forensics Showcase before and said, “I was impressed. This was a great event for me and my students to see a variety of quality forensics pieces and performances from across the state. I’m so glad we came, and I want to bring even more students next year.”
