Hubbard County Fair

The kids and I spent the last 5 days in Park Rapids to take in all of the Hubbard Co Fair festivities.   Macy was showing her calf, Annabelle, and competing in the horse show with her Arabian, Tequila.  The LaFleurs are rookies with these events.  We clapped when others clapped.  It was very interesting to watch the livestock judging.

 This was the sunset Thursday night in Mom and Dad's backyard.  The pic does not do justice to the sunset.

 Some daylilies in Gma's backyard

 The boys entertained us with campfire songs around the campfire Thursday night.  It was a perfect night for a campfire.

 This is Annabelle.  A red holstein.  She was born on Christmas Day, hence the name.  You know....from the movie, Annabelle's Wish.

 Macy grooming Annabelle prior to showing her.

 Grand Champion!!!!  Way to go, Macy.

 Hanging out in the backyard with Kayla.

 After the excitement of the Grand Champion ribbon, Macy had a drill team performance.

 I believe these red boots belong to her younger sister, Addison.

 Grandma entered her famous gingersnaps and blueberry pie in the fair.  Both got reds.  She was ripped off.  Jonathan has planned to use the pie recipe in the cookbook he is putting together for the Morton Co Fair.  We joke that he will now call it 'Red Ribbon Blueberry Pie"

Macy earned the "Most Improved Rider" award, as well as the big leadership award.  Well Done!
