Southwest Florida Fair

Well the fair has been in town this past week and even though I missed five days of it due to the cruise I was still able to make it to the pig show and auction. The Pig show was last Sunday and the kids did fairly well placing. Kelly Drye won 1st for her class and then came back in for Grand Champion and Reserve Champion and the judge seemed to take great interest in her pig but then ended up choosing another one. Sadly this year they did showmanship on Monday night and not during the actual show, so I missed that. As crazy as it seems to sit in bleachers for 5 hours to watch kids walk their pigs around, I greatly enjoy it. We are fanatics. Our bleacher consists of the Russells, the Gears, the Dryes, the Schaffers, the Willis, and then us. Anytime any of our kids would be out there we would scream like crazy, you know like the family at the little league games with the coin shakers. It was a ton of fun and I'm glad I was able to be there to support them.
