Going Country at the Fair!

Attending the Ventura County Fair is a longheld tradition. When I was in high school I raised a pig and several sheep for the fair. During the fair, my family (along with many other FFA and 4-H framilies) would bring a trailer and camp for a week. We all had a great time caring for and showing our animals! As we wraped up the fair, we would auction our animals. Some kids would be sad, but I generally did fine. Raising an animal taught me a lot about responsibility and hard work. It also taught me some key financial lessons.

My kids have not had an opportunity to raise any fair animals, but we still enjoy attending the fair. The kids typically dress country . I just wanted to share a few pictures.
