It was a typical Friday for fair goers as they ran across the midway to enjoy rides and games. I also noticed a few people checking out funnel cakes, deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and lemonade.
For those of us behind the scenes we spent tonight in the livestock building getting ready for the stampede of animals tomorrow. We already have the baby ducks and chicks snuggled in their shavings, and tomorrow it will be time for the adult chickens, pigeons, and ducks to fly in. Let's not forget the excitement of the horses, cows, and lambs that we are expecting also.
However the first Saturday of the fair is traditionally reserved for our goats. Not only will some be coming to stay with us but they will be coming just for our shows. We have more than 60 4-H youth registered for the 4-H shows that start at 3 p.m. After that we will have the Adult/Youth Breeding Meat Goat Show which is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. You can see some of the finest goats and showman in the state at these shows and we are looking forward to a huge crowd.
Although tonight was mostly prep work tomorrow we will start getting down to the business of the fair. Stay tuned to our 4-H blog for photos and winner updates as we move through the shows this week.
