The Albemarle County Fair has come and gone! So much planning, so many contacts, so much organizing...but the fair went SO well! I was very impressed with how smoothly the whole 3 days of the fair went! We set up cages and the ring and pens on Wednesday, animals and people arrived Thursday, then Thursday evening, Friday, and Saturday were spent having fun, showing animals, selling animals, riding rides, and eating at the fair! All the 4-Hers who showed animals did a GREAT job and were all very excited to receive ribbons for their projects. We had some awesome judges, good lookin' animals, and great people in our 4-H exhibit tent all weekend! We had a large number of animals including poultry, rabbits, lambs, hogs, goats, and a steer. All did well in the show and those who sold did great in the sale! I am from Rockingham County so seeing the difference in the show and sale between Rockingham and Albemarle was fun. Sale prices here are AWESOME! I am so excited for the opportunities these buyers are giving the 4-Hers they support. Dakota Pullaro surpassed his goal of reaching $50,000 from selling animals at the Albemarle County Fair over the last 11 years. That blew me away! What an awesome goal to meet! Many other 4-Hers found success in the sale this year as well. Thank you buyers! You are making a difference in the lives of these 4-Hers! Each 4-H member who was showing also received a feed bucket, water bottle, shirt, and 4-H decal thanks to fundraisers, donations, and local businesses and support. I feel like the fair was a success overall and everyone had fun! I will definitely be back next year to see how the fair goes! I am happy I got to be a part of the behind the scenes work and effort that went into planning the fair!
