Fun at the Fair

We were busy at the Cooper County Fair last week, that this week we're just taking it easy.

Last week was the Cooper County Youth Fair and we were there Wednesday-Saturday (good thing we live closer now!). Wednesday was the queen contest and a family friend of ours won! She did a great job, good luck to her at the State Fair! Thursday night was the heifer show, my brother took home Reserve Champion Heifer...YEA!! After the show was the truck and tractor pull, which I love going too...but hate the day after. This year I decided to leave at 11pm, Dale stayed until the end and got home around 1:30am, I'm so glad I left early. Friday night we got there early for the steer show and was excited for Dale's brother, he got 1st and 2nd place in both of his classes! Everybody had really nice looking steers this year, my sister took home Reserve Champion Steer. Friday was so hot that we weren't planning to stay really late, but ended being there most of the night. We went home to clean up and then enjoyed some ice cream before bed! Saturday morning was the sell and we stayed to buy a ham...I don't know who's going to eat this ham - it's a big one!!

Our next fair is the State Fair, I think we're going to take a day to go up and enjoy the sites and watch some shows. I just hope it's not too hot for me! Maybe I can rent a scooter and ride around the fair - wouldn't that be a site!

State Fair is always fun & hot! If it gets too hot for you and you are close to the sheep barn we have a camper back there with AC...otherwise there is always the ice cream "barn" right by the cattle!
