A fond memory of mine growing up in Iowa is being a 4-H member and attending the county fair every year. This year, I had the honor of assisting my dad as a clerk for the Floyd County sheep show! It brought some great memories of caring for my 4-H lambs and showing them at the fair. The young girl who won the Grand Champion award looked so proud, as did her sheep!
We also attended the Mitchell County Fair, one county to the north of us, and enjoyed walking through to see all the animals,
…crafts, and the Figure 8 races! I had never seen a race like that. Watching it had this weird effect on us by making us all want to talk like we were from Hazard County. Yeeeeehawwww!
