Last week was our county fair and although our kids aren't in 4-H yet, it will always be a part of our life. We usually go out most nights of the week and enjoy different parts of the fair. Having a breaded tenderloin sandwich, a funnel cake, several milkshakes, a pork burger, and a lemon shake-up are always musts on the list for fair week.
Being 10 year 4-H members has provided so many memories. 4-H is where I first learned how to sew, a skill I still use very regularly today. I took basketry and made several pieces that I love, including a fishing creel, a basket w a deer antler as the handle, and a baby cradle my last year of 4-H. I also did the photography project. It was always fun taking several pictures and then narrowing it down to your best and favorite one. Showing horses provided the most 4-H and fair memories! I grew up on a horse farm and had been riding horses since elementary school, but only showed them my last 6 years of 4-H.

My farmer showed beef, took the corn project, farm scene project, and woodworking. At fair time (and also throughout the year) we always reminisce of our 4-H days.
Having kids in 4-H allows you to enjoy it all over again and I cannot wait until our time comes ( 2 more years until our oldest can start). Next year we will enjoy mini 4-H! I can picture the projects that our kids will take and hope they will want to show an animal or two also (maybe a goats and Rhode Island Red chickens - what we have now).
Until then we will enjoy the fair time as future 4-H parents!
We enjoy the games and rides!
The food and milkshakes!
We show off our Farmall 560 as part of the Retired Iron antique tractors and parade!
Our kids enter in the open class!
We serve milkshakes as part of our Farm Bureau Young Farmer group!
We enjoy watching 4-Hers show their heart out during animal judging!
We enjoy grandstand events!
I enjoy when I'm asked to judge open class and 4-H projects.
4-H will always be a part of our life and we will always enjoy going down to the county fair!

I still use it a lot today. I took basketry and made a few things I love, like a fishing creel, a basket with a deer antler as the handle, and a baby cradle from my last 4-H year.
