Well, I am home to feed the animals and thought I would update everyone with a quick note.
In the first weekend of Pima County Fair, Wyatt's chickens did pretty well. Sgt Major the Phoenix rooster received a blue ribbon, Annette the silver phoenix hen received a blue ribbon and Best Variety title, Pearl the big fluffy Plymouth Rock received a blue ribbon ( and made friens with the rooster next to her), and the Silkies Plume Snowflake and Trooper earned blue ribbons and Best Variety honors as well.
Also that weekend, Bailey helped show her leaders Boer goats. That was lots of fun! The judge spent a lot of time explaining why she ranked goats in a certain way, which was really informative. Bailey competed in archery, and won fourth place in her division.
This week has been quite busy as well. In showmanship, Bailey made a great showing , landing in the middle pf the pack in Pygmy goat after a rough morning, and making call backs to the final 7 of 32 in poultry. The following day, her animals made their own impressive show. Vital took a blue rosette in her group, with Glory taking second to her. (I am sure those of you who know Glory know what dirty looks she gave the judge!) Jada also won a blue rosette in her age group. The chickens did pretty well, with Princess Gala earning a red (broken father issue) and the spanish sweping the top three places in their breed. They all received blue ribbons and Annie won Best of Breed.
Since all of that insanity we have been shivering our way through barn duty for long hours, and last night we went out on the midway for a little fun. Yesterday, Charlie and the kids helped put on Fair Fun Day with Mrs Hatley while Mama went to work. More Barn Duty and an outreach project today, then the auction and the final ceremonies tomorrow. We will be SO READY to go home! We will post photos and more fun when we return.
Hugs to everyone!
