Day Two of the Huntingdon County Fair

Day two of the fair was filled with livestock shows and entertainment! Today we had the pig showmanship and fitting show, the 4H and FFA show, the halter classes of the horses and breeding sheep show! The livestock barns were filled with exhibitors all day and even this evening clipping and washing their animals.  I started my day off traveling with one of my "Fair Queen Moms", Amy Houck, to Hunny 106 station to speak with Rick Hamilton about our fabulous fair! After having my quality mom time, I went to the pig show with Junior Ambassador, Shayla, to hand out ribbons and to watch the exhibitors show off their knowledge in front of the judge in hopes of being named Master Showman! Luckily this afternoon, I was able to get a little break before my hustle and bustle evening.  I got the opportunity to watch the breeding sheep show as a spectator and even learned some things about the different breeds.  Did you know that there are more than 40 breeds of sheep just in the United States??!!  Our Little Red Schoolhouse, located by Johnson Hall, opened for the first time since last year!  We only had two children come in but they got to kick off what I like to call "Kids' Farmtastic Coloring Contest"!!!  I also got to meet a special person tonight, McKenzi was one of the children and it was her 4th birthday! What a better way to celebrate your birthday than at the Huntingdon County Fair!! Happy Birthday McKenzi! My court and I would love to have some more children come to our schoolhouse to spread our farm safety knowledge so stop on by and color a picture to put on the wall and get a goodie after learning something new! Day two is in the books and I'm tired beyond compare so time to turn before day number 3! We have many shows tomorrow also along with entertainment on the Midway stage and the Antique Tractor Pull in the Grandstand!! Stop by to hear about my exciting day! Come and check out the premier agricultural fair in Pennsylvania next to the state farm show! Hope you and your family come to "treasure the memories"!
