2009 Mason Dixon Fair

Tuesday July 8, 2009 some pictures of the kids with their goats at the Mason Dixon Fair! It is a lot of fun and the kids learn alot of important lessons! It is hard work. We take the animals to the fair on Sunday evening...get them settled, fed , watered and then we leave them their and go home. We come back Monday morning to feed and water, Monday night to feed and water and talk with fairgoers! Tuesday morning we come back to feed and water and then the show is Tuesday. The kids won lots of ribbons and even a trophy for Ben! Premiums too to add to the feed bill!!! LOL We come back Wednesday morning to feed and then the goats are released after the fair is over at 11pm...Yess! 11pm we have to muck the pens and then haul them home...UGGH its the best part :)!


Ashlee Blevins,my girlfriends granddaughter , another child, my Meghan and Ben.

The judge was Diane Kelly...she was great! We hope she comes back next year!

The kids have a great time and feel very important!























They make lasting friendships! Julia is in the orange she is wearing Meghans shirt from last year!

























The older ones help the younger ones with holding their goats and making sure everyone is included!
