It has been a couple of years but I
finally got to go back to the PA Farm Show. As part of my normal
routine I of course went on sheep to shawl day. This year there was a
lot of blue for one reason or another. I actually didn't stay for the
awards ceremony. I wasn't staying for the auction so I decided to
head out before the big crowds left.
Besides the wonderful shawls they
changed some things around on me. They added a calfing arena and
moved the bunnies in with the fowl. They didn't have the duckling
slid this year. The goats and sheep came in late and they redid the
goat barn.
They also changed the main hall around
a bit. They added some new areas that at one time were part of a
large area or just didn't exist. I never new that there was a cheese
guild in PA. Some of the buy local was in several places. In same
areas it worked out really well. The rest was just a bit confusing
for us, just because it became new.
We did get to see the horses get hooked
up to wagon. Something I have never seen before and very impressive,
plus a lot of work. The goats and sheep seemed to like the attention
as well. All in all it was a really fun time with new experiences.
