County Fairs

Well, here we are at the end of another work week, well for most of us anyway. And its that time of year for the county fairs to start. Our county fair starts today so that's were I will be at well at least for the parade on Sunday and good fair food, and check out all the livestock. One of my favorite things at the fairs is the Bucket calf shows! My sister had one bad experience when she was little with a Bucket calf and it makes me laugh now just thinking of her traumatic ordeal. The little kids give such good answers on why they named their calf and what they have to feed them, its a good time.

We have a good selection of farm flags not to many with hogs but, their is a few different one with cattle, and lots with horses and chickens. You can find some under our Evergreen Appliqued page: http://www.flagsrus.org/eapplique.htm and we have quite a few different horse ones under our Western page: http://www.flagsrus.org/western.htm. And if you like to watch the tractor pulls which is a fun fair event as well we have a lot of John Deere flags as well under our John Deere themed page: http://www.flagsrus.org/johndeere.htm. Hopefully everyone has a great weekend and if your going to the fair go check out all the livestock because I was in 4-H till I graduated high school and I know for a fact that those kids have worked hard on their livestock to make them show the best they can and let me tell you, that's not an easy thing to do get a 1,200 pound steer to walk and stand correctly!!
