Our daughter states, “Fair time is the most FUN time of the
year”.
I have to say I’m in complete agreement- it’s busy, at times
crazy but there’s something so wonderful about seeing all of those kids show
their animals they’ve worked so hard to learn about and raise all year
round. I’m a proud momma to my daughter
and son and a proud onlooker to the rest of the children there are well. Nothing makes my heart happier!
Although our son is too young for 4H showing (he has 2 more
years to go till he’s 9) he entered into ‘Open’ in Fair this year that is open
to the public to bring their animals to get judged. He entered his beloved Guinea Pig, ‘Batman’. Batman
WON! 1st Place Blue Ribbon,
GRAND CHAMPION and BEST OF SHOW! It was
extremely awesome to see his little face light up when we walked up to the cage
and the big ribbons were hanging there.
So used to seeing his sister receive ribbons and trophies it was nice
for him to get to participate as well.
This was our daughter’s 2nd year in 4H, 2nd
year in showing Cavy and 1st year in showing Rabbit. She was quite nervous and excited to show her
rabbit she told me- but then more relaxed once they moved onto Cavy. She did very well- in Showmanship for her knowledge;
she received a 1st Place Blue Ribbon in Rabbit and GRAND CHAMPION
for Cavy. The following day was
confirmation, judging of the animals- her Rabbit, a Blue Dutch Buck won 2nd
Place and her Black Satin Buck won Best Opposite for Best of Breed. Her Red American Cavy Boar won Best of Breed
and Grand Champion and her Marked American Cavy Sow won Best Opposite and
Reserve Champion. She was excited to do
so well in Cavy this year! Her smiles
could not make me any happier! She was
beaming from ear to ear!
Tiring, at times exhausting, fun, exciting, happy, proud,
anxious- we had a wonderfully fun week at Fair with our children and can’t wait
to do it all over again next year!
