Cow milking
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008At the VIP Cow Milking Contest Tuesday, everyone showed up except for Kaye Lani, whose daughter was celebrating her 12th birthday and probably came up with better ways to celebrate.

Fair T-shirts
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008When its a down time in the fair booth, you have to come up with a few things to keep busy. Tuesday, I decided to write down some of the best T-shirts people were wearing. Here’s a few:
“I’m Board. Entertain Me.”
“Saw it. Wanted It. Threw a Fit. Got it.”
“Rock On.”
“Rock Out.”
“You look different today. I noticed the improvement immediately.”
There were shirts from local businesses, lots of political candidates and sports shirts from nearly every area school: Monroe soccer, Monroe football, Wagar softball, Airport, Jefferson, Mason track and Mason baseball, Whiteford softball, Whiteford basketball, Ida, Summerfield volleyball and softball and Dundee, to name a few.

This year it’s the lambs, followed by the hogs and then the steers, said Judy See, the county 4-H youth educator. Last year, the beef cattle sold first and the hogs were last to go.
