Litchfield County 4H & Linda McMahon

Yesterday we went up to the Litchfield County 4H Fair held at our fairgrounds. I enjoy seeing all the kids with their animals--many of them show at the Goshen Fair, too. I took along a bag full of fair books & passed them out. An exhibtor & her beef cattle. Exhibitors and their dairy cows. As at most fairs, the dairy department had the most entries. I was sorry to see there were only 4 sheep entered. I talked to one family that has given up sheep--said it was just too expensive.

There are not as many large dairy farms around, but many families are now keeping a dozen or so cows.

This child below was so small next to her cow--her family is from one of the larger farms in the area.

Linda McMahon decided to come to "Meet & greet" at the fair. I know that folks in CT ( Unless they've been living under a rock) know who she is, she is a candidate for the US Senate( and the wife of Vince McMahon of the WWE) & is spending LOTS of her own money on her campaign. We have a primary on Tuesday & hopefully after that, things will calm down a little. It will be weeding out a few people from all the races. Alan & I both spoke with her for a few minutes--I'm still undecided. Here she is with the Goshen First Selectman, Bob Valentine.
