County Fair Review

Last weekend was the Hettinger County Fair. Both mine and Dusty's families have been very involved in 4-H. Dusty and I were both in 4-H for at least 10 yrs. My sister Lindsey and brother Aaron, as well as Dusty's sisters Jessica, Becky, and Katie have all been very active in 4-H. This year Aaron decided it would be his last year in 4-H. He showed a heifer, a steer, and market chickens. Yes...chickens. For quite a few summers now, Aaron has bought chicks and cared for them. He then sells them after we have butchered (for lack of better words) them. He decided to start taking chickens to the fair because he could get a little more premium money. His chickens received a blue ribbon and he had Grand Champion Breeding Beef and Grand Champion Market Steer. He was also the Grand Champion Senior Showman.





For as long as I can remember my grandma and grandpa Friedt have come to watch us show at the fair. This year our cousin Nick, his wife Jacey, and their two little girls Isabelle and Aliyah came back for Nick's 10 yr class reunion. They decided to come check out the show. Izzy had so much fun. She wore her little pink boots and fell in love with one of my necklaces with a heifer pendant immediately. (I may have found an idea for her birthday present). She had fun petting Aaron's heifer and drinking the pop Great-Grandma Friedt gave. I definately think Izzy will be seen in the show ring a few years down the road. Jacey's family shows and I don't doubt Izzy will join them.



Last Friday I also got to hang out with one of my good high school friends, Jasmine. She and I were able to do quite a bit of catching up and grabbed lunch together. Her oldest brother's family also ate lunch with us. When we were done, I went back to we went back to her brother's house to hang out with his 3 kids a little more. Jazlyn, the middle child, was loads of fun. She was very entertaining. I was even able to snap a cute picture of her. She decided to put her little sister Jada's swim diaper on her head and then put my sunglasses on. She is such a little goofball, but will surely brighten your day. Enjoy!!
