Today was the South Greenville County Fair.
My daughter was excited for three reasons.
The first was that her grandfather (my wife’s dad) runs the fair and her cousins would be showing cows.
The second was that she knew she would get to show a cow (with her eldest cousin’s help).
The third was that a classmate at school told her on Friday that she would be there.
The first reason turned out great. Her grandpa was emcee for the cow show. Her cousins showed cows and showed out with multiple ribbons for their showmanship.
The second reason was a winner too. We showed up, she walked around a little calf named “Walnut,” and then she was awarded a blue ribbon for her effort.
The third reason? It didn’t materialize. I’m guessing miscommunication.
Overall, it was a good day. 4-H and cow shows are in our daughter’s future. Today was a preview of coming attractions.
