Hello,
Tis the fair season. Now, I don't
mean weatherwise. As far as the
weather goes, it is the season when
farmers and ranchers have an eye cast
on those thunderheads building up in
the west. And living with the fear that
that 90 degree day will suddenly pro-
duce a chilling breeze and a hail
storm can destroy a beautiful crop. I
mean it is the season for county fairs
to kick off.
I don't think there
is anything much
better than a county
fair.
I don't think there is anything• to rabbits. If you've ever driven
much better than •a county fair. I across .Harding County, you know
the world. Especially when it comes
there is a huge supply of rabbits, deer,
and antelope.
And I am proud to announce that
our granddaughter, Gracy, won the
Grand Champion girl rabbit at the
Harding County Fair! We always
knt~w that girl was meant to be a
ch~impion, and now she has a trophy
to prove it! And since then, both
Gracy and Gage have won the water-
melon eating contest! Genetics of
good eaters is passed on.
Speaking of Harding County and
fairs. It seems there is an'old story
about a couple of steer wrestlers from
that area, whom one time stole the
Grand Champion turkey at the big
Fort Worth Stock Show. They pro-
ceeded to feast on roast turkey, not re-
alizing till afterwards, when they saw
it in the paper. $50,000 TURKEY
STOLEN FROM STOCK SHOW!
One of the cowboys told his sister it
tasted just like ~abbit !
One of these same guys pulled a
switch on a clown at the Houston As-
trodome. The clown had an act where
he would turn these two domestic
ducks out of a gunnysack. His dog
would haze them around and herd
them back into the sack.
One year, after weeks of planning
and trapping, our cowboy took two
wild ducks, captured in the Dakotas,
to Houston. Under the veil of dark-
ness, with a:litfle help from a case of
beer, the switch was made. The
clown came out, dumped his ducks
out, and away they went," flying
around the Houston Astrodome!
With twenty-five thousand people
going nuts, and a Border Collie dog
going insane!
Wish I could have been there!

mean, I'm not talking a big deal like
the State Fair, but a little deal. Like
the Grant County Fair, or McKenzle
County Fair.
Where the Homemakers,
Lutheran Women, and the Lucky
Leaf 4-H Club man the food booths.
Where the steers, heifers, chickens,
and rabbits are housed within cluck-
ing distance of each other. Where
there are turtle races, petting zoos,
rodeos, and a parade down Main
Street.
In Grant County you can place a
friendly wager on the turtle races. In
McKenzie County you might buy the
winning bronc rider. In Slope County
you can watch the rodeo or 4-H sale
while sippin.g on a bloody mary. In
Harding County, you can rodeo, enter
the watermelon eating contest, street
dance, and pick up all the free zuc-
chini you want at the produce display.
Nearly all counties have home-
made apple pie, juicy burgers; crop
• displays, and homemade ice cream.
I grew up showing steers at 4-H
and FFA. Usually halter broke a few
days before the show. And Dad
would sit just back of the crowd on
Cim (short for Cimarron) with his
rope down, waiting to rope the steer
after he had drug me through the
crowd and escaped. Seems a little
funnier now than it did then. I usually
had the only steer in the show that
had that purple stuff all 0ver his wire
cuts. Never did do real well in show-
manship.
When our kids were showing
steers one year we had a couple bad
ones. I mean real bad. They were
Chi-Angus steers, with about an
eighth pure devil. I mean they would
kick, chase, and honest... They
would bite. I never saw anything like
it. You know how many young kids
cry when they realize their steer is
meant for the barbecue. Will and Car-
men
named their, steers T-Boneand
Ribeye! If it wasn'i for a certain vet
and some wonder drugs, I don't think
we could have shown them. But that
is another story.
Our highlight of the fair circuit
one year was .the Harding County fair
down in South Dakota. I mean that
fair has the toughest competition in
benefit, J ne 8,
We are so blessed to
have such amazing
friends, famiJy and
neighbors.
Thank you again,
