Thursday Thoughts is going to be a little weak this week because I’ve been at the Benton Franklin Fair all week with Toni, Kade and Jaxsen.
Meanwhile, we left Mom, Dad, Ben, Kicker and Kaine at home to handle all the chores on top of their regular full-time jobs. I’m sure they’re thrilled with us. Anna also went back to the University of Idaho, which gets a big blah from me. Not the school, the fact that she is not at home.
Since today is Thursday, if you haven’t made it to the fair yet, you missed watching Kade show for the final time at Benton Franklin.
The good news is that you can still watch him show at CBJLS—for free—or at the Othello Fair. He is saving the steer he considers his best for Othello, so there is still more to come. He showed my favorite here.
You also missed watching Jaxsen show, but thankfully, you can catch him again next year.
You haven’t missed everything, though! Kade’s steer sells tomorrow. He is out of our cow Foxxy and by Trump Train, and we would love to see you at the sale. It starts tomorrow morning, so come support these hardworking kids and the livestock they have spent months raising.
Full disclosure: I wrote this before fair started—but I am SURE we had a great week. That is positive thinking…or tempting fate. We’ll find out.
Good luck to everyone competing at their county fairs this season, no matter what kind of animal you are showing. Fair week takes a tremendous amount of work, dedication and family support. Enjoy every minute of it—even the early mornings, late nights, dust, exhaustion and inevitable fair-food decisions you’ll regret later.
