The last three weeks have flown by and are continuing to pick up speed.
County Fair was an 11 day event. That's right 11 days.
Carnies, cattle, swine, pottery, painting, goats, sheep, clothing, gardening, tractor pulls, country singers, recycling and non stop exhibiting.
The fair kicked off with our annual District Dairy Show. Over 60 exhibitors from surrounding counties arrived with their best cattle to parade around the ring and strut their stuff.
The following day was our Open Dairy Show which allowed for all age exhibitors to compete, which was a delight for all.
On that Saturday, we had our poultry show and our 4H Dairy Shows.
Lots of long hours spent in dusty barns, but it was well worth it getting to meet the families in the community.
The following Monday, we began taking the 4H county fair entries, and they were later judged and put on public display that night.
Wednesday we hosted the Rabbit show which I was able to help set up the display table for the exhibiting rabbits.
Thursday we were there for the dairy goat show.
Friday was a long day filled with hogs sheep goats and winding down with beef cattle. We set up multiple show rings this day and the day before. This allowed me to get some cardio and workout time in while at work. Just another perk of working with extension.
And finally on our last day of the fair, we hosted our open beef show.
for all of these events, our speaker system in the barn was down, so I was in charge of finding up coming exhibitors and letting them know how long before their class was due up. Also good exercise and a good way to interact with the community. Looking forward to next couple of weeks (4H Camp at Lake Cumberland)
