WEEK 3 AND 4

WOW!!! It seems like I just blogged, how the time is flying by. Before I know it I will be done with this internship!!! The last two weeks have been busy, busy!! We had our county fair the week of June 10 to June 15. That was a very busy week. On Monday I done something I have never done before, judge the pet show. Let me just say that was a day I’ll never forget. The pets some of the kids had were just off the wall!!! I had everything from a calf, dog, cat, (your normal pets) all the way down to an earthworm and crawfish. It was hard for me to pick a winner in some of the class because you could get see the smile and happiness coming from all the kids that I didn’t want to hurt their feelings. I mean come on they’re all so cute and having fun. So in the younger age divisions we just gave a blue ribbon to everyone. But when it came down to the very last class of the day, the costume class, and I had to pick a winner, oh my, that was a hard decision to make. And the winner was: THE MEXICAN CHICKEN!!!  

                     

I had the chance to go out with our Agriculture agent On Wednesday June 12. This was a very experience for me because we visited Blueberry farmers. I had never been to a blueberry farm before and I didn’t know much about blueberries. So being able to travel with him to visit farmers was very good for me. I learnt a lot of different things about blueberries and I also was able to meet some nice farmers in the community.

                     

We hosted the district Dairy Show on June 15 and it was a very nice hot long day. We had around 114 entries. It was a nice experience to be able to see all the different breeds of cattle and to be able to see the youth show them. I didn’t have it to hard that day, I was the ribbon girl. I hope I said something nice to each of them as the exit to ring.

    

Monday June 17, I did a wood science day with a few children. We had a toolbox and a bug barn. All have to say about that day is thank God I didn’t have a ton a kids. We had three kids that day and that was plenty because if one didn’t need help the other ones did. And there was only one of me so I had to help them all at the same time. But overall it was a good day!!

   

The next day we made our way to Bowling Green to the district horse show. This brought back a lot of old memories. I can remember when I showed at the district horse show there, and every time I went into the arena I had butterflies in my belly. So of course I enjoyed this day to the fullest, being able to set back and watch the show as I help with it. We had two young ladies that were showing and they both did an outstanding job. I wish them the best at the State fair show!!        

 

Now I’m ready to see what the next two weeks as to throw at me, hopefully it’ll be something fun!!
