Fair

Fair week came and it was time for Gabi to show her lamb, Smokey.  She was sooooo nervous, but she did a great job!  Her lamb was not cooperative, but she showed the heck out of him anyways and didn't let him get the best of her!  She is one tough little girl.  In showmanship, she qualified for the championship round and placed 7th.  She placed 4th in her market class...behind the grand and reserve champion overall!  Not bad for her first year.  I still have people come up and tell me that they were so impressed with how she showed her lamb.  Joe taught her well and she worked hard.

Showing her lamb to sell

Gio and Gabi getting their lambs ready for the show.  They had a good time working together.

Gabi also won the "Top Hand" award for the Sheep Show.  She showed determination, grit, and had good sportsmanship.

Gabi also entered the Fabric & Fashion competition.  She made this wool poncho and modeled it at the Johnson County Fair.  Her poncho also went to the Wyoming State Fair where it won a purple ribbon for construction!

She also made these really cute flannel pajama pants with a sheep print.

Gabi also made a set of holiday pillowcases that were sent to the Wyoming State Fair.  They received a purple ribbon at the State Fair!  It was a fun project.
