The Fair











This year was a fun year at the Elkhart County 4-H Fair! I don't know if that was because we had free passes, great weather, or just great memories with friends. We were able to spend a day, riding rides with friends. On another visit, we watched an elephant show and Hope & Jonny rode on the back of the star. Looked at the animals ate lots of junk food on all the other visits. The kids both received blue ribbons for their projects in 4H. Way to go kiddos!! Of course, the fair would not be complete without the tractor pull. The Cripe fam bans together, gets decked out in John Deere green, hoops and hollers for our men on their JD's. The men had a great year pulling.

The kids did the pedal tractor pull. Hope pulled 550 lbs around twenty something feet. Jonathan pulled 450 lbs about the same length. They both did great in their separate age brackets. Of course, I video taped it, but no still pics. Use your imaginations, it was brilliant!
