What would a county fair be without animals? I don't mean pony or camel rides but cows, goats and the ever popular chicken. Although the chickens may not be the cutest or cuddliest chicken in the building it is a big draw especially on Thursday nights at the Robeson Regional Agricultural Fair when we have our annual 4-H poultry shows.
This year we had youth showing both laying hens and broilers. Three cloverbuds, Adelmo Wyrtko, Regina Koch and Caleb Jacobs learned how to hold their laying hens as the entered the show ring and got ready for our judge to check out their birds. When they left they all had trophies in hand and big smiles on their faces. Up next was the Junior division. Long time competitor Benjamin Herndon took first in this division with his hen while Mikayla Hecker took first place in the senior division.
The broiler competition was a little more competitive this year. Although we did not have any cloverbuds we had two Benjamin's registered for our Junior division Benjamin Herndon and Benjamin Dial. Benjamin Herndon added another blue ribbon to his collection after this competition. The Senior division allowed for a brother sister match as Kelsy Bullard took on her older brother Sebastian. Kelsy took home the blue while her brother walked away with the red ribbon in this competition.
We will wind down our animal shows on Saturday with Lambs and Heifers. The lamb show starts promptly at 11 while the heifers will start at one. Come by and see us at the Robeson County Fair this year...just two days left for the 2009 fair year.
