Showmanship in Lee County

Now Sandy & Tinkerbell have changed gears. She is now doing showmanship where the judge looks to see how well Sandy handles her cow (no matter what happens) and also how well she interacts with not just the cow but also with the judge. The judge must be watched at all times and questions must be answered as the judge walks around.
Cousin Lee is on the left and Sandy on the right. One of the toughest things about showmanship is that Lee and Sandy will always be in the same class and they are both REALLY good! They truely are about equal when it comes to this b/c sometimes Sandy wins and sometimes Lee wins but they are always proud of each other!
On this day Sandy decides she really like the Lee County Show cause she won 1st place in showmanship. The red chair that she is holding is her 1st place prize. Mom thought it mighty nice that Sandy would win her a new Softball chair...hehe!

Pretty Cow in Lee County

Of course being the day after the Cardinals won the World Seriese we all had to represent!!!

Thanks go out to Aunt Gaye, Aunt Nana, and Momma Dell for a beautiful blanket! All momma has to do is show up and video tape!!!



Sandy and Tinkerbell get ready to win 2nd place & $50 in the Pretty Cow competition. In this competition you must create a blanket that could advertise Milk. Ours is "Milk Makes Happy Thoughts." For those that are a little slower than others Tinkerbell sprinkles fairy dust on you and then you must have a happy thought to be able to fly. You would be surprised how many judges do not get it!
