Fair in a Nutshell

Trace did awesome with Oscar, especially since he's never done this before. His pig was at weight for a month, so he walked him everyday and put him on a diet. Within a couple days that pig tightened right up (wish it was that easy with my bum). He really bonded with Oscar, we'll just leave it at that for respect of Trace! :) His pig got a blue ribbon for market. And for fitting and showing he got, according to his big ribbon, "Champion round"; basically it was a call back for the grand champion round. We were proud he got that far. He really worked so hard.

Brooklyn did better than expected with it being her first year as well. The rabbit barn supervisor had been working with her all summer and he said he thought she had a shot at Grand Champion. She almost did it.....ended up getting Reserve Champion for fitting and showing. The judge said she is the one to watch out for next year, so we'll see if she keeps up her momentum. We're proud of her, she absolutely loves her rabbits, it's the first thing she does in the morning to take care of them. Also Courtney, NiCole, and Brooklyn (the Warden girls) got the Supervisors Award. Thanks NiCole and Courtney for showing Brooklyn the ropes.

Brooklyn, Courtney, and NiCole

This little guy is the newest member of our rabbit family. His name is Jersey.

We stayed in the camper at the fair all week....never left and when we did on Sunday morning the kids whined. On Wednesday during fair Brooklyn was already saying that she didn't want to wait for next year, so against Chad's wishes I guess we'll be going back.
