Zack took a pig to the fair this year.
We had lots of fun up at their fair.
On day one we had to take the pigs to the fair by 3:00p.m, I got off around 2:00 so I could help load the pigs. When Harding got to our place I was ready to load the pigs and head for the fair. It only took 30 minutes for Trever pig to load today, Iam glad no one had their camera they would be laughing over the pictures of us fall in the pig mud. So I had to go back over to house and change my clothes. So we finally got on our way, When we got up their they weighted the pigs then the boys had to fix up their pens for the pigs. They put us on the outside so I send Bryan home to get a tarp before he got home they let us move the pigs inside so I called Bryan and told him never mind, then sheila decide to have Bryan bring up mom trailer so we would have something to stay in while we were up here all week long.
The Second day we got up early we had to clean the pigs before they showed them to the judges, It was funny watching the kids running around trying to get a pen to wash their pigs because they showed up late. Zack did a pretty good job for never showing a pig before he had a little bit of a hard time because their was a pig in their that just wanted to run so it would get Zack pig upset also, they all receive a showing ribbon with $3.00 for even trying.
On day three it was market class and that when they judge your pig on the quality of the pig, today Zack did a lot better then yesterday by moving his pig around in the corral. Zack received a first place ribbon with $ 8.00 today we was very excited today.
On day four we got up early to wash the pigs like on the other days put the pigs in the pen soaped then down then the water went off for about 30minutes so our pigs were soapy and in the cleaning pen and they sure weren't liking this at all. Zack looked awesome today we was also very happy but also sad at the same time because it was the day to sell their pigs today. Zack did really good today he goes into the pen by them self today and their bidder that will bid on his pig he was happy when he received $675 for his pig and it only cost $300 dollars to raise it so he made profit.

Good job Zack! We're proud of you.
You know I was so impressed when I saw little Zack in that pen with that big pig and he wasn't even scared of it. He was taking such good care of it. He was so excited to show me how he could get it to stand. How he watered and fed it. I am glad that his pig sold for such a good price too.
