4H Fair 2009

We've been very busy this past week and a half w/ the Martin Co. 4H fair. The girls turned in projects & we had rabbits to show. I'm trying to get caught up so here's a few pics...The first one is Olivia checking on the sheep. It's hard work being a farmer!

Here she's telling the sheep what to do...
Kayla won the Clean Pen Award from Bob & Diane Dages. Bob made her a wooden carrying box, put a big water bottle in, rabbit magazine & really nice feeder. We were all super excited & very appreciative!!!
Kayla auctioning her rabbit Sugar last night....

Ellen & Mike Dant of M&M Trucking purchased Sugar. Here they are together. Of course it's just a donation to the kids so we get to keep the rabbit & the money---nice!
Kayla watching cousin Carter & Olivia play with Sugar.
Seth G. pulling around Olivia & cousin Emma!
Kayla & Danielle posing before the big show....love this pic!
I think this one is my fave though!
Right before the show!
Lindsey L. w/ the girls before the show Sunday.
Lola made it to the finals but was not chosen for anything. That's okay though. We can't get a trophy every year!
Danielle during showmanship. She did great. The judge is wonderful & invited us to his house for workshops.
Danielle w/ her rabbit Bryan & her winnings for showmanship!
Time for the baby show. Pop holiding Olivia w/ Eric.
Eric, Pop w/ Olivia, grandma w/ Danielle. She won 2nd for Prettiest Eyes & nothing for Prettiest Girl because she squawled & bawled the whole time because I took her bag of chips away from her! The girls wanted her in the contest or I wouldn't have even entered her in it since she won last year!
Alot of the grand champions. I loved the display this year. It was the "Year of the Tomatoes".
Danielle's flowers & garden vegetables.

Our Grand Reserve guinea pig! Couldn't believe he got a big award! That's my boy--haha!
