Its 4-H fair time!

Ladies and gents its that time of year again..time for the St. Joseph County 4H fair! Its a little early this year, usually its in the last week of July- to the 1st week in August but because of the extension of the Indiana State Fair we had to move the fair to the weekend of the 4th-11th of July.

This is what Dustin got so far on his projects. He still has to show his guinea pig and his rabbits ...

Cats-- honors on his kitten and a blue on his female longhaired cat (callie)
Microwave Foods-- a blue on his Pumpkin carrot muffins
Consumer Dairy Foods--a champion on his butter cake (I admit it was very tasty..lol)
Foods-- a blue on his butterscotch cake (again, very tasty!)
Collections--an honors
Cat Notebook-- a champion on his book for Callie and a blue on his book for the kitten
Guinea Pig--Reserve Division Champion on the notebook, hasnt shown the guinea pig till wednesday of this coming week

Dustin is doing an outstanding job in his 4H career. Sometimes I wish his dad would get his head out of his butt and see that. He is missing out on so much and doesnt even care.

I got the chance to go up to fair on Thurs morning and stay till Saturday afternoon. Rey came up Saturday morning so I could leave my van with mom and dad to drive since I now have a new van. Rey and I bought me a 2003 Pontiac Montana and I love it, so we decided that since I didnt need my van anymore (it has 207,000 miles on it) that it would be perfect for mom and dad to drive, so I took it up there to "retire it" and then of course that meant that Rey would have to pick me up and bring me back to Indy, so Saturday morning he showed up at mom and dads and we all decided to go to fair for lunch and to ride a couple of rides. Kelly brought her friend Mark and his 4 year old daughter Ellie and so it was like this new generation of the Kukla Family. Mom and dad seemed so proud seeing Kelly with Mark and me with Rey. Now if Kris could get her life straightened out then it would be all good but who knows when that is going to happen. Anyways we all enjoyed lunch at the Coalbush UMC Pavillion and then went and looked at Dustin's exhibits in the exhibit building and then the kids got to go on 2 rides (my sister emphasized it like the late Billy Mays, she so sounded like an infomercial...lol)
