State Fair

Yesterday I had the opportunity to enjoy the Kentucky State Fair. I went to the fair to help Caitlin with the put-put golf at the KY Beef Counsil Booth. I will have to say that the put-put golf this year was a big success. There was a constant flow of kids coming through and participating in not only the golf but the beef displays as well.  The Fair Bear even got in on the action!

After a ribeye sandwich from the Kentucky Cattleman's Association booth I meandered through the "Pride of the Counties" area that features highlights from each county across Kentucky. When I found Owen County's display I was pleased to see that Eden Shale Farm was represented. I would like to thank the folks at the Owen County Extension Office for putting together such an nice booth and representing us so well at the State Fair.

After visiting some old friends in the cattle barn, I attended the Sale of Champions. This is the sale that highlights the hard work of the Grand Champion & Reserve animals of each species. It is always great to see these beautiful animals and all the hard work that these youth put into making them look their best. The sale is always well attended and I will have to say that the event makes you feel proud that you are part of Kentucky Agriculture.
