Sanpete County Fair

Each year citizens of the county are encouraged to enter crafts and things into the exhibits at the fair. Last year I crotched a blanket that looked like an American Flag and earned a second place red ribbon. This year I submitted a counted cross stitch of a river front scene. I earned a first place blue ribbon! I’m already brainstorming what I can submit for next year. Spencer says he wants to put something in the fair too. Maybe he could join the 4-H Club.

We spent Thursday (Aug. 21st) afternoon enjoying the exhibits and the animals. There was a huge steer that weighed over 2900 lbs. The boys thought it was Paul Bunyan’s Ox!

Spencer was able to pet some reindeer, they had really fuzzy antlers. All three kids enjoyed seeing the lambs, pigs, cows, bunnies and chickens!

We topped the night off by watching Demolition Derby. We were lucky to get in because they had sold out; we had gotten tickets earlier in the day. Throughout the show three cars got completely turned over and the boys loved it! Ashley liked the part she was awake for! I didn’t think anybody could sleep through that kind of noise. She woke up when we had dirt flung at us as a car peeled out! I took her home while boys stayed for the final wipeout. We all stayed up late and I thought it was a good thing they didn’t have to go to school the next day.
