County Fair and Rodeo

Last week was the county fair, and John and I entered a few items. John had some beans from my mom's garden that he entered. He was pretty proud of his second place ribbon!

I entered a bag that I made, a raggy flag quilt, some of my most delicious rolls, and pumkin bread. As you can see, I got first place on all of them. Yep, I still got it, I can enter stuff into the county fair and still get the blue!!
On Saturday John entered the syphon setting contest. (they are metal tubes that some of the farmers use to water their fields, he had to try and set them as fast as he could) He was able to get a few set, good job for never having done it before. Way to go John!


Two of the nights we went to the rodeo. Doesn't John make a great cowboy? Complete with wranglers, boots, buckle and hat!!


Trevin and Colby were in the Cowboy Challenge two different nights before the rodeo started. They had to get dressed in the outhouse with their partner, then put up a fence and weave a wheelbarrow in an out of it, then build a gate and milk a saw horse cow, then get on their stick horse and race back to the outhouse. Colby's team won, and Trevin just gave us all a good laugh.


This is Colby's team on the far right.






Trevin and Preston (my cousin) on the far left.



They did a little firework show right before the bull riding every night. I love fire works.
Taylor and John the cowboys.

LtoR: Taylor (brother), Brandon (cousin), Trevin (brother), Preston (cousin), John, Isaac (Cousin's husband)
Well, we had a great week at the county fair!! John, Taylor, and Trevin will be entering the wild cow ride at the Adam's county fair in the middle of next month, so be looking for video and pictures of that!!

Yeah upload them in medium :) Looks like fun. Can't wait to hang out with you guys when we come for Rhen's wedding/Adams Co. Fair. Watch out for Randy, Preston and Isaac at the Wild Cow Ride. They are going to win ;)

But tell them good luck! They boys say it's harder than it looks. I wonder if they will let girls enter...

I love the Grant County Fair. I have missed it for the last couple of years. There is always so much fun to be had. Congrats on the ribbons!! It looks like you are enjoying your new home. How is the new business coming along?
