Our Fair List

Well, the Kittson County Fair is right around the corner, starting next Thursday.  I'm getting really excited.  The fair is one of the highlights of my summer.  Having grown up on the farm and in 4-H, I always had tons of things to get ready.  I'd bring a lead heifer, a cow/calf pair, a horse, and a bunch of other projects for the exhibit building.  Now with small kids, my preparations have changed slightly, but I'm anxiously awaiting the day (kindof.....I'm excited, but don't want time to pass too quickly, either) when Clarence and Adina are in 4-H and we have tons of projects to be working on for the summer.  I'm going to be baking next week with the kids so they can enter some things in open class.  Matt and I were also thinking they could bring in some garden veggies or hay/corn/oats, etc.  So, we'll see what next week brings.  I have a lot of stuff to get ready before then.  I think we're going to bring my brother's camper and stay at the fair. I think it will be easier to nap the kids right there and let them sleep there than run the 20 miles back and forth once or twice a day.  We'll see how it goes, I guess.

Here's what I know we're bringing for sure:

Since both Matt and I grew up bringing so many animals to the fair, we're excited  for the day when we can bring show animals again.  I think it's a wonderful experience for kids; it's one of my greatest memories - bringing animals to the fair, then winning trips to the state fair.  It'll be a chance for us to get back into the swing of things...I know we'll both love it!  :)

If you're bored next week, stop by the fair!  (July 12th-15th)
