Day at the Fair
Posted By Elaine on September 5, 2009
Today was the day we had all been waiting for, The Chick Show! Samuel’s chicks showed well. He got a Blue Award. A very nice couple bought his chicks at the auction for $12 each! That is a very good price considering the Grand Champion chicks sold for $15. I will put a picture in later as I forgot to bring my camera. A friend of mine took pictures for me.
Samuel with his awards with Bullet
After the Chick Show was the Pet Fair. Samuel entered Bullet as a pet and he won a First for the “largest pet”, Second for “most unusual” and Third for “longest tail”.
Samuel with his Farm animal awards
Samuel entered my Light Brahma Rooster for his farm animal. He got 2 second places and 3 third places. I wish I had written them down but it all happened so fast. Hopefully when we go back to pick up the prize money they will be able to tell us the categories.
Jacob with his awards for Bullet
Jacob cleaned up at the pet fair. Bullet was entered into the “pet” portion of the competition and I know he won First for “largest” and “longest tail” and got Second for the “most unusual”. He won other awards but again I can’t remember for what.
Jacob and the Turken...his farm entry
Jacob entered my yellow Turken in the farm animal portion of the pet fair. It was just Jacob and another boy with a horse for that so the ribbons were just flying. He received First or Second in every category. He was so pleased with all his ribbons and then he realized the there were money values attached to all those ribbons. He made a nice chunk of change in an hour.
We go tomorrow to claim our prize money. While we were waiting for the pet fair to start I checked out the jams and jellies that I entered. I didn’t win anything so my kids are the big winners of this fair. There is always next year.
Y’all come back now!

I’m surprised y’all didn’t enter Roscoe as the “world’s laziest dog” or something. I’m sure he would have won! ha ha
