The Puyallup Fair: Mischief in the show ring
Hale sure had fun with the fair ribbons.
Which was great until he decided to run into the ring with them. Catch him Landon!
Fortunately, with some guidance from dad...
...his path is diverted. Total family embarrassment avoided...
...but only for two seconds until Hale makes another attempt. Dad is already expecting this and doesn't let him pass.
Landon is successful at rerouting Hale again.
Hale is happy kicking up the sawdust for a while.
Then tries to distract the judge's table.
It works. They are definitely distracted. Hale gets a wave through the screen.
The spectators are apparently also distracted. We get many comments after the show about his antics. Fortunately, his mischief is taken with good humor by all. It is a good thing that farmers are used to dealing with the unexpected. This is not an opera where you are glared at for rustling your cough drop wrapper. Most cow shows are casual enough that if your child lets out a cry (or runs all over the place) it's not a disaster. Good thing!
The one exception may be at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI. They roll out the red carpet for that event. We're going in October.
We're leaving Hale at home.
