Pennsylvania State Farm Show

  This morning Pop-pop and Uncle Mike drove up from Maryland and took Joshua, Lillia, Hope, Joy, and I to the 96th annual PA State Farm Show.  It was really fun!  We saw cows, horses, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, and roosters being, powdered, groomed, sheared, showed, and judged!   There were tons of free food samples and many interesting booths with cheese, ice cream, honey, meats, breads, etc.!

Cows being showed in the Equine Arena

Groomed sheep sleeping in their "keep 'em clean" blankets!  :)

This cute little sheep was sleeping with it's head on his leg!  :)

Check out this guy's horns!




The 22nd annual butter scupltur this year was a scene at the county fair. 
Made with 1,000 lbs. of butter, this piece of art took more than 10 days to create!

Leave a comment letting me know how much you think this pumpkin weighs  :)


This little boy was laying in the straw with his cow!  :)

  1. Wow you got some great shots Kaitlyn! You should enter the one with the boy sleeping on his cow in a contest. Did you get free ice cream? Oh, I'm guessing the pumpkin at around 100 lbs. I didn't go over there to see it.
