2007 Apache County Fair

Well, even though I was just in SJ last weekend for my hunt, Ben & I decided we wanted to go up again to get out of the heat & support my sibling and cousins in their 4H stuff! I have always thought (and still do think) that 4H is such an awesome program. It teaches kids how to be responsible and lets them make some money for their savings accounts! My brother and sisters each raised a pig and a steer. I think my CrOsBy family filled up about half of the kids there! Included was: Ashley, Alissa, Eli, Breonna, Austin, Garrett, Jorden, Jacy, Tyler, Levi, Brock, Kyla, and Mackenzie! They all did really well. TyLeR was even the OVERALL top showman! Way to go Ty! The fair was great too. I love the atmosphere of the fair in our small town. Other than the fair, we were able to go the SJ vs. Hopi football game (our first win!), drink A LOT of the famous Bride's pepsi's, play some "Scene It" with the family and cousins, sight in Ben's gun, do some coyote calling with my dad (Ben), and have nice long visits with all of our family! I do have to put in a word about my sister Alissa...she got drawn in the SJ Booster Club raffle thing for a chance to win half the money they collected if she made a field goal from the 20 yard line at halftime during the football game. She, along with two other BOYS were chosen. Let's just say, she kicked their butts! She was the only one to do it! Yep, that's my little sis! We ended the weekend with a nice turkey dinner my daddy made us before we had to head back. It was very yummy! Now we are back to the heat, laundry, and LOTS of studying for me! Hope everyone had a great weekend! :)

I wanted to go to the fair, but didn't get to:( I love the SJ fair! I love St. Johns! Except what's up with Pepsi? Coke is the ONLY way to go:)!

I know lots of towns have fairs, but I just love ours. I love this time of year! The new school year, the leaves changing colors, the cooling down, friday night football games....it's the best! I associate all those things with the fair, because it all starts around the same time. I love the fall.

My family was all in California the weekend of the fair and all my siblings that are living in St. Johns right now were so sad to miss it. It really is such a fun time. I always loved the Cohen's little donut stand. Good luck in school this semester!
