Did any boardies here participate in 4H at any time? Or does anyone go to the local 4H fair every summer or fall?
Where we used to live the fair was the one of the funnest things we'd do all summer. It was free to get in, parking was free, there were just a couple of food stations, but there were so many exhibits and animal barns to walk through and enjoy, and it lasted from Sunday to Saturday!
There was always a barn for the poultry, one for the rabbits, one for the sheep, one for the goats, one for the cattle, one for the pigs, the horse competition ring, which was also where they did the tractor pull with mules and whatever else would pull. There were always draft horses to pet, wagon rides, and in the evening a country music performer.
I really miss that fair.
Plus the building that housed the competitions of rockets, jams, cakes, clothing, knitting, and so forth. There were even adult 4H groups.
Our kids loved the fair too but never wanted to get involved in the 4H groups.
