Fun First Fair!

Addison had a fun time in her first year of 4-H

She started the fair off with the foods project.

She told the judge all about the foods she made.  Marshmallow chex bars and trail mix.  She got purple ribbons on both!

Next up was the goat project.  She got up early to go get her goats ready.  They did not like their baths.

The first time she went in the show arena she was a little nervous, but it didn't take her long to figure it out and she came out asking, "When do I get to go in there and show again?"

She worked hard at getting his legs set up straight so he would look his best!

Here she is showing in the grand champion drive.  Her goat got reserve champion in his class so she got to be in the arena when they chose the grand champion.  The class champion goats are in the front and Addison is in the back row with her reserve champion goat.  Her other goat got 3rd place in his class, so they did really well!

We had to stop and try out the huge pedal tractor! 

Then it was time to sell the goats.  She was a little sad, but is glad the project is over.  Taking care of goats is hard work! 

Here she is telling her buyer "Thank you!"  Our new neighbor bought her goat and she was SO excited because she knows him.  She can't wait to make some goodies and walk over to deliver them! He asked her what she was going to do with all that money.  She said, "Put it in the bank!"  Then he mentioned something about a college fund and she said, "It will get old by then!" Ha!

She was going to ride Aunt Natasha's horse in the 4-H rodeo last night for barrels.  But a storm came through when it was almost her turn.  We'll see if she gets to do that at a later date.
