the County Fairs were going on.

Abbi and Phlip

A lot of our young relatives participated there & now ...

Phlip & Abbi ready to go ...

Abbi is 11 and this is her 3rd year in 4-H, 

but she was into pre-4-H a couple of years before turning 10. 

One must turn 10 during the year to enroll in regular 4-H.

Abbi's first year in 4-H her Mom, Jayna, 

bought her a ewe lamb.

She showed it as a lamb & yearling, 

going to State Fair both years. 

This year they had the ewe bred and she produced twins ...

a boy, Phlip and a girl, Phlop. (Flip & Flop, get it?)

Abbi showed both at 4-H County Fair, 

then with many tears, sold the boy at the auction. 

The girl, Phlop, is now at State Fair.

races held at fair, but this was not in a 4-H competition.
