NICE ! congrats !

 

[haulin8or]

You should be proud! Great shots, thanks for sharing them with us!

nice. I love fair time. I took steers for 8 years. My favorite thing to do though was to put a healthy size cow turd on the underside of a dollar and watch as people pick up the dollar. Expressions went from joy to disgust to anger. Most of the time they would drop the dollar, but even if they didnt it was money well spent.

It just occured to me that you are in SW lower Michigan. That would not happen to be the St. Joseph County Fair in Centerville would it? I used to live in Nottowa, kinda between Sturgis and Centerville. Had some great times growing up there

Robert:
the spoiled puppy is right on both accounts.

Greg:
Kalamazoo County.
Allegan is next week, Centerville the week after
Nottawa is about 45 minutes from the house
I might have a picture of the school
