The Ashtabula County Fair!

Well, fair week went very well for us! No rain...which I think may be a first! But boy was it HOT! We had 90 degree days! Hadn't had a 90 degree day since June! Figures it would happen the weel of fair! The poor kids and animals too! Our 4-H club members did an outstanding job, which does not surprise me! We have a wondrful group of kids! All of our general project members got blue ribbons! 9 of their projects were chosen to go to The Ohio State Fair! Our animal members did well! Lots of ribbons, trophies and plaques!

As far as my children go, Tori got 2nd place in her weight class for market steers and Cody got 2nd place in his weight class for dairy beef feeders! We were very happy with their results!

Our club display--
We made scrapbook pages for each member!
The junior fair theme this year was "Red Carpet A-Fair"


Fair week was exhausting to say the least! But it is well worth the exhaustion to see all the kids enjoying themselves and having a great time! We are already looking forward to next year's fair! The kids are getting ready to look for market steers for next year! Tori & Cody both plan to take a market steer next year!

Your booth was really great this year! I thought it was creative and showed all your members. Did you get to keep these pages or did they?
