More Friday Fair Stuff............


These are the "city boys", fathers of the contestents, Doug and Kevin. They are trying to figure out which end of the cow is fed.........looks like Dug was attempting to feed the remains of a milk shake.

They couldn't figure out why one Holstein is black and white and the other Holstein is mostly white.



Trace's cow was unable to compete due to "warts" on its nose...........the vet said "no warts". He hung in there and helped take care of the rest of the cows. It came time for showing the cows and since there was no judging on showmanship for the handler he was able to enter the ring and show Cassidy's heifer. The heifer managed a blue ribbon and at least Trace was able to gain a little experience in handling the cow in the ring.


Hailey was entered in the Intermediate Class with her Roxy and she and Roxy came away with Intermediate Champion Showman! The best in her class. The judge asked Hailey if she chose a "white" cow to enter and if she didn't her 4 H Leader must not like her too much! A white holstein is a real bear to try and keep clean for the show; but, Hailey did a super job.




Chelsea and Lucy were in the Junior Class, the same class as Cassidy. Together they took Reserve Junior Champion Showman, which is 2nd place in their class. A super job by both.





Cassidy and Cory took the Junior Champion Showman award.

A lot of hard work for all and it certainly paid off for the Bossy Nova 4H Club!

Tomorrow is "kick back" and take care of the cows while fair visitors look them over and the kids field any questions that they might have. Sunday will be awards day and the final day of the fair's 10 day run. It's been "fun" (?)............well probably most of the time; but, I'm sure everyone involved is looking forward to that last day.

Becky and I will be attending on Sunday for sure and maybe again tomorrow as we still have more "fair food" to sample.

Later. W&B
