Grandkids at Glenn Co Fair

Tom is showing "Dip n Dot" a young Holstein heifer at the Glenn County Fair. Tom also brought her mother, Dottie, showed them separately and then together. The mother and daughter won the highest award. To see more pictures at flickr, click here.
Laura is showing one of the Jersey cows she brought. Not sure if this is "Truffles" or if that was the other cow.
Both Tom and Laura did very well, winning championships for their animals and for Laura, she won Showmanship in the Senior division of the dairy and also in the "Round Robin" where she had to show 7 different species i.e. meat goat, dairy goat, sheep, dairy cow, beef cow, horse, and pig. The other animals were owned by other kids and Laura didn't have experience with showing them. There was a different judge for each type of animal. So, that was a big win. She has two new buckles to add to the one she won last year. Both Tom and Laura won cute wooden boxes with a place for a picture on the cover. They were very happy with their winnings.
