It’s county fair time here in Knox County!
As a girl, this was the pinnacle of my summer. I was a 4-H member for 10 years, showing lambs and horses at the fair, and taking projects that ranged from insect collecting to sewing. As a 4-Her the fair was not only the culmination of the work we had done, but it was also (aside from 4-H camp) a time to see friends from all over the county. It’s still a big reunion for Jay and I as we take the kids to the fair each year.
The fair has always been very important to me. I’ve technically only missed one fair since I was born – at that was the year I was living in Montana. I even went the year I broke my back, back brace and all.
I encourage you all to head down to the county fairgrounds this week and spend some time walking through the Junior Fair barns and 4-H exhibits. Stop and visit with the kids, ask them about their livestock, their projects, what they’ve learned and why it is important to them. It should restore your faith in the next generation!
You can find all the information you need about the fair here: knoxcountyfair.org
Hope to see you at The Farm & at the fair this week!
