County Fair

Abbie having a heart to heart with Lula Belle the cow.




It has been a wild and crazy month. A lot of activities have happened in our family. The week of August 15th, we went to Burley, Idaho for the Cassia County Fair and specifically to be with family at a fun time of year. There are so many memories connected with the fair. This year was the 100th year anniversary of the county fair. My sisters and a few of their kids went up too.
First it starts out as a non-stop cooking frenzy. Everything made throughout the year is entered on Monday afternoon. Judging is on Tuesday. The parade is on Wednesday.


Grandpa's go-cart is always a fun thing to do while all the moms are gritting their teeth hoping the kids don't plow into something.

We all went to the open class building to see what ribbons and awards we received. Our family won quite a few! Here shows Jessica with a winning ribbon for her scrapbook and got a gift certificate. Celeste won a huge blue ribbon for her quilted doll slumber blanket. The rodeo on Thursday night was fun. There was a bull that didn't want to get out of the arena and then of course the scones and corn on the cob is always great!
