It was a good festival weekend. The weather cooperated – some drizzle early on Saturday with a mix of clouds and sun the rest of the day. Sunday was breezy and cool. Hodgepodge did well despite the ecomonic situation.

Below are pictures from the 4H Sheep and Llama costume competitions 4H is a big part of the festival and often overlooked. Many of our future livestock breeders and farmers are today’s 4H members. This is just one layer of 4H participation – there is so much more.


Here you see a dance partner, a soldier, a cow and a beauty contestent.

A baker with his helper - the sheep has a flour sack with baking utensils attached, which you can't see in the picture.

It's the blue ribbon for this 4H'er and her lamb who were butterflies.

Okay, I won. Now please get this off of me.

And in the llama competition - GO SOX!

At the end of the weekend, everyone was ready for some rest. See you next year!
