Both my parents were in 4-H, too, and both are still supporters of the program in my home county.

And that wasn't that long ago!

Randy is at the fairgrounds helping weigh in pigs and will hep with the swine show tomorrow AM. I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to bake for the Hudson Cream Flour bakefest. I entered a bunch of open class photos. We'll see how I did later today or tomorrow. And, whether I win or not, it's fun to be part of the fair!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030884632849692028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746965660860204993.post-77634910543739055902013-07-17T18:06:22.014-05:002013-07-17T18:06:22.014-05:00I would say that we still have a fair amount of op...I would say that we still have a fair amount of open class exhibitors, especially in foods, textiles, arts and crafts and photography. I haven't looked yet, but I'm guessing open class horticulture was back up some this year, since we've gotten a little rain. Enjoy your fairs!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030884632849692028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746965660860204993.post-9208762032777801912013-07-17T18:04:16.444-05:002013-07-17T18:04:16.444-05:00It is cooler for fair week, if you compare to the ...It is cooler for fair week, if you compare to the last two years. But, it's still plenty toasty with the humidity, etc. It certainly helps to have the foods judging in a nearby. air-conditioned church basement, even when we have to haul a bunch of it to the fairgrounds afterwards and spend some time setting up the display, etc., in a very hot tin building. One of my former 4-H cooking students won overall Grand Champion today and her sister did well, too. I still love seeing kids succeed!

I miss the Stafford County Fair & all the fun surrounding it. Our county fair is held a few miles from us, but it certainly doesn't have the same feel as the ones I grew up attending. Enjoy the fair & thanks for continuing to help make memories for the next generation.Deborahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819608247382027972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746965660860204993.post-80464704754603388242013-07-17T09:11:49.402-05:002013-07-17T09:11:49.402-05:00Our fair, (Leavenworth County) is in two weeks.

My home county is Wyandotte, and our fair is next week... can't wait to go and see how the new fair grounds has been expanded!

I think Mom still helps with the Round Robin Showmanship and takes pictures for the local paper.<br /><br />I learned earlier this week that The Buffalo County, NE Fair that I showed at is celebrating 100 years this year.<br /><br />I also learned that this is the first year that Mom and Dad will not have any calves at the fair. They spent the majority of their marriage raising and selling a handful of Club Calves. Today their cattle are not "clubby" enough. They had show calves at the fair for well over 30 years.<br /><br />Stay cool and enjoy the fair!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
