As you may have heard we are showing sheep in the Weber County Fair again this year. Last year we brought home 2 blue ribbons and hope to get 3 this year. Its a great experience for the kids( you know... character building) and they really do enjoy it, most of the time.
A big part of the fair is the auction at the end. Each kid is supposed to find a buyer or 'booster' for their animal. We have not had any luck thus far finding a buyer for any of our sheep. Maybe the economy, maybe bad timing or maybe its just fate that you happen to be reading this blog right now! The purchase of the sheep is a tax write off and goes to support our child, the 4H program and the fair. If you would be interested as a person (or business) then please let us know.
If buying a sheep is not exactly your style, but you would still love to support Tyson, Jaden and Corbin you can be a 'booster' also. A booster is someone who donates anywhere from $5 - $500 (or anything in between). Sometimes enough booster can be more beneficial than the buyer. If you would like to be a booster please email us, call us or even comment below.
We really appreciate your help and sorry for hitting you with a sales pitch on the blog. We wouldn't do it if we weren't so worried about not having a buyer lined up. The fair starts next week!
