County Fair

Today was the first day for the daughter to show her rabbit, Bambi. It was about 102 degrees sitting in the stands, enjoying the barely-clothed locals, breathing the dust, cigarette smoke from the various carnies and manure from the nearby beef exhibits. I can only imagine how hot the poor rabbit felt in her pet taxi (formerly used by my grandmother for her cat, "Blinky.")

I do know that her face shown with enthusiasm and pride as her junior doe was chosen as second place in its class and received an "A Class" rating.

Now, let's start talking to some 4H people and create an air-conditioned show ring - then I'll try to stick around for showmanship.
