Well, I didn’t get my hands on one of the home baked pies, but this little auction raised nearly $1,000 for the 4-H Junior Leaders group. I’ve drawn an arrow to point at the $190 pie. I think the least amount one of these goodies fetched was $35.
The Pie Auction took place inside the show arena. You can see here, where all the animals big or small are put on display for the judges.
And here you see Miss Presley taking her place on the front page of our local paper. This isn’t Holly, the overall show winner, but it is the one that caught the reporters eye.
We’re starting to wind down the fair now. Tonight is the Farmer Olympics. During this competition, the kids are placed into teams. Each team runs through a series of tasks and relays that are similar to a farmer’s day. From getting up and eating breakfast, to dressing, carrying feed buckets over fences and hauling wheel barrel loads of stuff to be dumped.
It should be fun and comical to say the least. Expect photos from the Farmer Olympics tomorrow.
