Deschutes County Fair 2018 - Cheers to 99 years

Getting ready for Showmanship w Gus



Blue Ribbon in Showmanship









Conformation w Gus

Open Class w Princess

Barn duty is a big part of having their animals there and showing. They can be paired up w someone their age or w one of the young members to mentor or by themselves. It always great seeing these kids taking cares of their responsibilities and enjoying it as well.

Volunteering at the 4-H's Over the Clover Café is another task these kids look forward to. Jaxon and Aaron are supposed to be cleaning out the cupboards before opening, but couldn't resist playing w the industrial size mixing parts!

Sneaking in playtime in between Showing and Duties


Getting in a round of golf w Grandpa Matt.
Grandpa Matt and Dilene came to visit and stayed the whole week w us at the fair. They were such great sports and really seemed to enjoy it and getting involved as well.

Goofing around out at the trailer

 Waiting for Big and Rich concert to begin
 This was just a little bit before we walked out. The beginning of the concert and the tribute to the military and veterans was really enjoyable but when the rapping cowboy and then spiderman came out and the concert turned into a hodge podge of pop music and ridiculousness, we left.


 We were getting pretty nauseous and only two mild rides in, we bailed on the rides and wandered the fairgrounds



Dawson is a tougher rider than I am.

Redmond High School Cheerleader Dunk Tank Fundraiser
This is a favorite of my boys' - go figure - but they do love trying to out do each other w their bullseye pitching. Jaxon, the clear winner over Ethan this year!

The Rodeo - one of my favorites at the Fair!
Another one of Jaxon's favorites - the rodeo queens- I love this look of his.



Now this is a concert... Gary Allen - A favorite of ours from back in the day
A lot of just good ole country music
Enjoyed the concert w some great friends

Look at these two being all adulting and such

Our next 4-H project- yes please!

He loves the Poultry

Mutton Bustin - a favorite of Dawsons and now Haydens as well


 Dawson eatin dirt

Hayden gives it a try 
 Way to ride and be tough

These exhausted buns say it all - another great week at the County Fair
