Successes!

Another Fair Week has come & gone.  The stalls are cleaned out, the animals loaded, the vehicles unloaded, and we're back home now hopefully going to get a much needed nap!  Sometimes we wonder why it is that we do this with our Family. But, as we reflect back on the successes & trials we had this week, a lot of different thoughts come to mind.  We do 4-H with our kids because it teaches them responsibility. It teaches them a love for agriculture and a respect for animals and what they give to us.  We do 4-H because it is a way to spend time with each other learning life skills.  We do 4-H because we like the character traits it promotes.  We don't always like the things that happen to us and can't always control the end result, but hard work, being together, and looking for ways to help others is something that we feel makes the ultimate Grand Champion! 

The Barker Family joined with the Ottley Crew and came to take in the Fair Scene at the Cassia County Fair.  It's a great tradition and for those that couldn't make it, get started making your plans to attend with us next year!  They ought to get a prize for the most dedicated "Out of towner fans" as they were die-hards hitting all 3 nights of the rodeo. You have a family gathering that is hard to beat with picnics, Kay's caramels & visiting at the motel courtyard plus swimming and maybe a little too much cotton candy, maple bars & kettle corn.
