The animals that visitors see at the Clallam County Fair are raised and shown by various 4H clubs. Many of the dogs we saw last Saturday competed in agility trials.
I know the bunnies were judged on their bunniness qualities but for me it was a walk down the Cute Animal isle.
Mama swine had a passel of suckling piglets. While we visited her, 4H members who had raised pigs were moving them through their paces at an auction nearby. Many 4H livestock projects culminate at auctions at the fair. The animals they raise are auctioned and the “project” quickly becomes a commodity.
This rooster had just finished a “cock-a-doodle-doo” serenade.
The cattle are really groomed for showing.
Our fairs start up in earnest in September with the animal barns a big draw.
September, when the kids are in school? Hope not because they should all have State Fair experience!!
First day of our Fair and it’s raining! Glad I hadn’t planned on going today, but can’t wait to see the same bevy of animal beauties that you have posted here!
It’s such a great experience for kids to raise animals. These all look well cared for.
We do have fairs as well, but in September, where there’s still the agricultural facet to the whole thing. I remember going to them as a kid.
Oh, I do love county fairs. Tomorrow I will either go to a fair or play golf. Choices!
Awww….
ooooh, how cute!!
