It be the end of August. and runs into the labor day.
Competition is fierce, people get nasty and call ya dim-witted some times.
Judging goes on all week, in diffrent catagories, everyting from canning, quilting, painting, arts crafts, photography and oh yeah livestock.
Preparations go on for awhile. And diffrent days have diffrent animals. This year i plan on taking 6 birds. 2 Silkies, I Buff Cochin, 2 Black Sex-links and I Rhode Island Roo.
They judge roos diffrent from chickens down here, Don't know why.
The Mrs. has pickled eggs, hot peppers, salsa, and hot pickles in the canning division, I think she's baking a few pies too.
Our county is so small, that the next county over the river invites us into the competition also.
Our county only has a population of 7700. And half of them are retirees.
They have the carnival thing, and displays of new trucks, a demo derby for midget cars and the big ones too.
They have Horse things, show, pulls, parade, and a Mule show too.
All in all it's a great time, but it is alot of long hours if you compete.
I plan on bringing sweet peppers and maybe green beans into the competition also.
