Well…the week after blast-off was my county fair. I was so excited, because I had a full schedule this year. I was in the Pageant, showing my Market Hog, Market Lamb and Market Rabbits. Well when I got to the Marshall County Fair to weigh-in my animals. I was let down :(. My Market hog didn’t make weight. This was the day before the pageant so now I was feeling pretty let down and didn’t have any self confidence. A couple of days before the fair started another state officer, Beth Morgan, came and was going to watch me in the pageant, well not only did she come but Scott Ash and Nick Beaver, both state officers brought a couple of people with them too and came and watched the pageant. They made signs and screamed for me the whole time. Nick’s girlfriend Rachel even stood up for me when a couple of immature people were making fun of me when I messed up on stage, but when I messed up. I didn’t run off stage like a little baby I stood there until I remembered what I was supposed to say. Yeah I might have got A LOT of points taken off by that but I’m not a quitter and I fought threw. So thank you guys for coming. You have no clue how much that meant to me to have a supporting crowed, and for those who could not be there to watch its okay. I know you were still cheering me on from afar. I ended up getting miss congeniality and fourth runner up, I was extremely happy and cannot wait until next year……
