We started out the last fair day with the pet show. This has become a favorite of our kids. Quincy took Lollipop the bearded dragon.
Preston took Curley the broken leg bottle goat giant baby.
Harper and Saige did the open class pet show. Harper took Dagmar and Saige took Chocolate.
There was not a prize for ugliest cat, but Chocolate was extremely well behaved and got a blue ribbon. Dagmar and Lollipop also received blues (and Harper was not happy with getting a blue again today).
Curley received reserve grand champion. This is the second year in a row that Preston got beat out by Hector the donkey. It's kind of a challenge for next year! He has already decided the donkey is going down. ;)
We followed up the pet show with the club tour. We had a great turn out and our club was very well represented at the fair.
This evening was the fair parade. Saige was not feeling really good but it didn't stop her from catching some candy!
Preston and Quincy rode the 4-H float.
After the parade was the livestock auction. This is the first time we have ever sold a baby that was born at our house. We amazingly were not overly attached to Larry the goat and nobody was sad this evening. We are proud that we had a baby born here that placed well, made weight and brought a great price at the auction!
Colin also sold at the auction. His nameless pink girl brought a great price and Colin is extremely pleased.
We finished up by serving the livestock auction buyers dinner as a thank you for their support. We had this amazing crew!
As we got in the car to come home, Preston and Quincy were saying how much fun they had this week. Quincy said she wished the fair lasted for a month. I do love the county fair. I love the fun and I know some of my best childhood memories are from county fair time, however I do not have the stamina to do a month of fair!
