Fair week has been a ton of fun !
We entered a couple of things and came home with quite a few blue ribbons.

Fair started last Saturday, but we have been preparing for fair forever.
I took a nightgown that I had sewed and a basket I made. As many of you know Tyler didn’t make weight so that was one less entry on my part (I am naming my goat Samson or Goliath next year (maybe)). I did ok with my other entries but I hope to do better next year; I got 2nd place for my nightgown and 1st place for my basket.

Mom did well in with her entries, more pacifically with her Java Chocolate Cake that she entered in the Hershey Baking Contest…BEST OF SHOW!!! *way to go mom*
Abigail’s goat made weight and got 1st place in her class, it then went on to win Lightweight Champion. Lincolns got Reserve Lightweight.
There were 4 goats in each class and the 1st of those went on to the next class. There were 8 goats competing to be the Champion and Reserve. They got best out of 32 kids.
There were 3 main categories and then those categories were broken into 3 more categories. Then they picked a champion and reserve out of each main category and then a Grand champion out of all the goats. (I know it’s really confusing!)

We have been working a lot at the fair this year. Once in the cafeteria (cutting celery all the day long!), 1 time in the French fry stand and another time in the Drink stand.
This years fair has been a lot of fun for me, I have learned a lot and cannot wait till next year :)
Here are some pictures; enjoy!

Looks absolutely awesome! (Love your blue shirt.)
I was so disappointed to hear that you couldn't show your goat. Glad that you had a good time anyways.
I think your mom should make me that Java Chocolate Cake when she comes out. It sounds very rich and very good!
