\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Another Ellis County Fair is in the books.\u00a0 This is a low stress deal as we don’t show many animals at this fair.\u00a0 Between a football game, softball tournament, no money in it, some kids sick and some hurt, we just don’t hit it hard this time of year.\u00a0 Now, we have 120 students that enter some sort of project in the fair.\u00a0 And the Shattuck kids run the concession stand.\u00a0 Although not a large fair, our kids actively participate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 We actually upgraded the livestock judging contest this year as we used scantrons to score via judgingcard.\u00a0 As most contests now use scantrons, clipboards are becoming a requirement.\u00a0 Keeping kids from folding the scantrons is a priority.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0A bouncy ball bucking bull contest was added the past couple of years for little kids.\u00a0 Yet, several of us adults were guilted into a treat for the spectators.\u00a0 Four grown men on the little kids bouncing ball bucking bulls.\u00a0 Yes, there is video of it.\u00a0 Lot of cheating in this contest, yet I stayed clean and managed to win this event.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Sounds like the Kansas State Fair goat show was pretty tough on the top end.\u00a0 Congrats to the Kratzer crew on their 3rd overall wether.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
