Clinton County 4-H Fair - 2008

For some reason I couldn't get the message to appear up here, so you will have to read it after looking at the pictures.
Kallee and Mamaw waiting on the parade to start!
I love this picture of her, it is sooo sweet!
She is picking up candy that the parade participants have thrown to her.

Keegan decided to ride his scooter instead of walking!

Talon rolled along on his roller-blades

Jerry gave all his candy away before the parade route ended : )

Just Hunter is one of our friends and Jerry was his "sign coordinator" for the May election. Justin is running on the Republican ticket as Judge. He and his family are some very nice people! Talon and Justin's daughter, Heather, are in the children's youth theater program.

Finally, the 4-H Fair has arrived! Each year we all look forward to this event, but are ready for it to end, by the end of the week. It always starts with a parade on Sunday afternoon and we have been walking/riding in the parade for years for some reason or another. This year was no different, Jerry and the boys walked/rode for Justin Hunter's benefit. They all had a fun time! -- For years I worked the Clinton Co. Right to Life booth while Jerry would take the boys to see the animals and such, but since we no longer have a local RTL chapter, we spend our week at Jerry's booth. The company has told him they would pay for him to set up, so we feel "obligated" to take advantage of that advertising. Anyways, we always have a good time seeing people we know and meeting new people. This year Talon asked his Daddy if he and Keegan could be clowns and work at his booth. Daddy agreed and the fun began last night : ) Talon painted faces for an hour or so and then switched to balloon animals. Both of these things are things he has taught himself, so he is pretty proud of his creations. He had a pretty good line of kids waiting last night, so stepped in and started blowing up the balloons for him. Jerry worked the Republican booth last night and when he asked a little boy if he would like a balloon, he said "no, I heard there is a clown in another booth giving out animal balloons and I'm going to go get one from him" : ) Of course that put a big smile on Talon's face! So if you all get to town, stop by for an animal balloon or to have your face painted.
