Day Three of the Huntingdon County Fair

Well another day of shows have hit the books! On this hot muggy then cold day, we held the market hog, market lamb, open dairy, and horse show! I started my day off at the market hog show handing out ribbons and watching exhibitors vie for the title of Grand Champion Market Hog.  I had a great time with pig volunteers and our 2009 fair queen, Kelsey Dysard.  There were many laughs and many "what was that number that just left the ring" and "how many pigs are in the ring".  I can definitely say that I learned a valuable lesson on how to "properly" count pigs because you know you need that in your everyday life!!  This afternoon, I got the opportunity to handle my calves to prepare him for show tomorrow afternoon.  I even got to meet our daily sponsor, Valley Rural Electric Cooperative and visit with them since my uncle is a big part of the company.  Not only did I get a chance to catch up with my uncle but I got a chance to talk with a group of people that donate to our fair to have the fair happen. So thank you Valley Rural!!  From 5-7pm, I was at the Little Red Schoolhouse at got to meet four children and got to talk with them.  Two of these children were from Maryland and came just for the fair! How wonderful is that knowing people from all over come to the Huntingdon County Fair!  This picture included is of the masterpiece of what Jayla and Summer created during their time in the schoolhouse! We would love to have more children stop by the schoolhouse so stop on by and check out our place!  I got the opportunity to watch the market lamb show and check out our midway and of course, food vendors!  Those CC's fries and Hewlett hot sausage sandwich definitely hit the spot! Well another day is in the books and I got a packed schedule tomorrow so I will turn in so I won't have to drink caffeine to keep awake, even though I will.  Tomorrow is Senior Citizen's Day with Dan and Gala at the Midway Stage, the Antique Tractor Parade at 1pm, the Talent Show at 7pm and Mini Tractor Pulls in the Grandstand! We have the market steer show at 8am, dairy beef show at 1:30pm, and horse speed events at 5pm! Come on down and check out the shows or the entertainment, I'm sure you will find something that catches your eye! I hope to see you and your family here to "treasure the memories"!
