A day at the fair
Last Wednesday night and Thursday I spent at the Okanogan County Fair as a chaperone for Katy. She had raised a pig this summer and brought it to the fair to sell. It is quite a scene to watch the kids clean the pig pens and wash their pigs to get them ready to show and be judged. The first picture shows Katy washing her pig, and the second one she is showing off her pig to the judge. The kids from Pateros did have a bit of bad luck. There were 10 kids from Pateros who raised a pig and only three of them had a pig that met the required weight to sell. They were all feeling pretty sad. But they still had to stay at the fair to take care of their pig until the fair closes on Sunday. I don't know why they can't take their pig back and feed it a few more weeks and then try to sell it after it is bigger, but I guess that doesn't happen.

so did katie not get to sell her pig, then? that is a bummer! glad you survived the fair!
What a cute pig! Even if it is "skinny". I do feel bad for Katie; what a disappointment to put all of that time and energy in, and not make any money. Hopefully, there were some parts of the experience that were fun.
