This was our 4th year working at the Iowa State Fair Little Hands on The Farm.
This year we took Jayden’s friend Hannah. This was her first year as a 4-H
member and her first time to the Iowa State fair. The three of us had
different jobs and watched and helped all the little kids that came
through. I got to work in the sheep barn and it was a very busy day of people. It was warm and pretty hot by the end. By noon, we were finished and on our own. One of the neat things about volunteering, we get close free parking, free tickets in, free t-shirt, and the afternoon to do what we want. We had lunch, explored the 4H exhibits, saw Jayden's displays, and went through the animal barns. Each year, like tradition, we stop into the horse barns and visit with my CSU college friend Jamie R. Her family shows Draft horses. They are gentle giants that amaze me. After sampling some fair food, our feet were tired, so we headed home by 3.
