Aug.29 Evergreen State Fair

110th year of the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe.  We went on family day. Jeanette prepared snacks and lunches and water bottles for everyone.  $12 for our group was a bargain to see and enjoy so much!  We hightailed it to the turkeys, roosters, chickens, and rabbits building.   A fun eye-opening start!   A brief stop in the dog agility stands to have a banana and a drink of water.

On to the goats, sheep, pigs, and cows buildings.   Sent a pic of Cotswolds sheep to RA.

We enjoyed some horse shows both inside the grand arena and in the outside covered arena.
This is where we ate our lunch and enjoyed an elephant ear for dessert.

We finished our adventure in the 4H buildings looking at quilts, and crafts, and photographs,
and especially the cats and dogs cages.     We enjoyed the different fruits and vegetables displays
by Granges in Snohomish County.

Everyone needed a nap and quiet time when we returned home.   After dinner, we acted out
a horse show featuring the kids on their favorite horses.   Everyone won a blue ribbon.
Then Matt got down on his knees and we coached Cameron how to use a board to show and
herd his prize pig around the living room show ring.    Jeanette was the judge and proceeded to
prod and check out this entrant.   Cameron & Matt won a blue ribbon!

Nothing like a county or state fair in August!   I'm glad Jeanette and Matt are keeping up the
tradition.    Creating fun memories for kids!
