Another crazy day is in the books! This morning was the quiet no hassle morning where exhibitors got to sleep in since there were no morning shows! I was able to relax and not rush because I wasn't needed until 11 to watch the Premier Showman Contest. This contest featured seven exhibitors: Brooke Emery (rabbits), Chely Miller (goats), Cristina Kern (pigs), Katie Anderson (sheep), Michael Yoder (dairy beef), Valerie Coleman (steer), and Amanda Fisher (dairy). These exhibitors were asked to show each species for two judges to become the Premier Showman. After a long and hard decision, the Mac Trophy will be traveling back to Southern Huntingdon in honor of Cristina Kern winning! Congratulations Cristina and other exhibitors! The Clifford McElrath Scholarship were given to three showman for their further education. Congratulations Allie Miller, Kendra Semple and myself! The Youth Public Speaking Contest was directly afterwards were I got to present my speech, "Why Should You Come to My Fair?". I got to spend the afternoon with a long lost friend, Tyler Watkins, making faces at each other during our speeches! Congrats to all public speaking participants its extremely brave to get up and speak in front of a crowd! I got a break quick before going on WTAJ for an interview with John Clay. Myself, Emily Davis (Huntingdon County Dairy Princess) and Danielle Varner (Pennsylvania Alternate Dairy Princess) were asked to bring our favorite fair food to showcase to the viewers. Emily brought an ice cream cone, Danielle brought cheese pizza and I brought a snowball. It was great to be able to show our viewing area what our favorite "treasure" at the fair was! I then rushed to the Little Red Schoolhouse where I was entertained with two ambassadors, Lissy and Katie. At seven I was asked to be part of the Celebrity Milking Contest at Dairy Fun Night with Marra Aurand (Miss Altoona), Rufus Brenneman (Chief of Police), George Zanic (Huntingdon Judge), Mike Fleck (Representative) and John Clay (WTAJ broadcaster). I was put with the stubborn cow that didn't want to be milked whatsoever! After trying the cow done, I was given a cow that actually wanted to be milked. Congratulations to Mike Fleck and Marra Aurand for winning! My court and I stuck around to watch the ice cream eating contest, animal dress-up, milk chugging contest, and the wheelbarrow race. It was a great evening celebrating with the Dairy Promotion Program! Well tomorrow is the Junior Livestock Sale so stop on by to support our 4H and FFA members. Come and "treasure the memories" before the week is over!! Hope to see you here!!
