Fair 2008

This past week has been our county fair. All I can say is 'thank goodness it's over'!!! I really enjoy the 4-H portion of my job, but this fair was a killer! For the most part the kids were great and their projects were excellent, there were just some issues that needed to be dealt with along the way. I could not have been prouder of the goat project kids (I have been working with them since March on their showmanship). These kids were AWESOME!!! The judge came to me and told me how difficult it was to place the showmanship class...GREAT JOB GUYS!!! The two top showmen got to go into the 'Round Robin' portion of the show to compete against the top showmen from the other species and while the goat kids didn't win, they had a great time and are really excited to go back. All in all, fair is a great experience for the kids and I hope that next year's fair will be an even better experience for them! A few (very few) pictures from fair can be found here.
