County Fair 2010

We had a GREAT county fair this year.  Both boys made it to the Grand Champion drive with their sheep.  ZB ended up with Grand Champion Intermediate Showman and CB ended up Res Champ in the Junior Showmanship.  We were soooo proud of them!  Looking back I am sad, some of my pics were not so great, but, I wasn trying to be mom, photographer and organizer for one or both boys! LOL  Oh well.  We always camp at the fair even though its right here in our town.  It saves driving back and forth several times AND we camp with some great friends and the fun never ends!  It's also usually around 100 to 110 degrees during our fair and having the camper there with AC and food is worth every penny!
ZB talking with the judge in showmanship. 



ZB on  the right.  He's in the top 2, he and Chad have
been showing against each other since they were 7 & 8 yrs old!
It was a tough call for the judge, we thought he might
not EVER decide!  Both boys worked very hard
and it was fun to watch them.



WHOO HOO!  ZB getting the Champion Buckle!
