Friday Mom was later getting off work then she thought so we were running a bit behind but nothing to worry about. We actually planned for it ... LOL ... When we got to the Fair we got our passes and paperwork and got the birds all in place. We took a little time to look around but not alot. Then we set out to find our hotel and get checked in. At this point we had our first mishap as we call it. You see we took the time to find a hotel online but When we got to the hotel we felt luck that we hadn't booked it. It was really not some place Mom and I felt comfortable staying. I told Mom that if we stayed there we would have to lock ourselves inside and not come out after dark. So, Mom went and found us another hotel and we ended up staying two nights there.
Saturday Morning we got up and got to the show to feed and water everything and then the judging started. This is the time that Mom and I took to really go and check things out. When they are judging you can't talk to the judge or even be in the same isle with the judge. So we find it better to go find something else to do. We checked out all the boothers. We caught up with some old friends....
Every year we find weird things at the fair to eat and this year was no different. There was things like deep fried cookie dough, Deep fried twinkies, deep fried kool aide and deep fried candy bars. Then there was the new additions of candied bacon and chocolate covered bacon.... LOL
After checking out all the booths the judging was over. I took 7 birds to the fair and in the end got 6 ribbons in the top 3 spots. 3 First place ribbons, 1 second place ribbon and 2 third place ribbons. Not half bad if you ask me. For the rest of the day I hung out with friends and just showed them all the booths we had already visited.
Sunday morning we got to the fair and my Dad and Sister met us there. We hung out for a bit showing them the sites. Then when it was time to come home we loaded up our birds and ended up buying 4 more call ducks.
We got home and Dad and I went right to the roping pen. Tomorrow it is back to normal so I better get some sleep ....
