Minidoka County Fair

This week has kicked off the Idaho County Fairs! 

This week is Minidoka County's Fair. In two weeks it will be the Cassia County Fair and in the beginning of the summer it will be the Twin Falls County Fair. I am beyond excited!
I'm all geared up and ready for fun :)
This week celebrates the 100th Anniversary of the Minidoka County Fair.

To celebrate they gave out free cobbler and ice cream. The lines were super long but were definitely worth it. It was probably some of the best cobbler I ever had. We could choose between Raspberry, Cherry, and Peach. Of course I went for the Raspberry and wow was it amazing!

Tonight was also the night for the cattle sorting event. I didn't have the slightest idea of what it was but it ended up being fun to watch. Basically what they do is set up a fence in a figure eight formation. Inside the figure eight there are 10 cows. They are each labeled with different a number 0 through 9. Then there is a team of two people each on horses. The announcer will call out a number, for example he will call out 3. Then the team has to find the cow labeled 3 and get it to opposite side of the figure eight, followed by the cow labeled 4, then 5, then 6 and so on in order....They have one minute to get as many cows as they can to the other side. I only heard of one team getting all 10 cows through in order all night. It was entertaining to watch and there were some GORGEOUS horses. The one in the picture below is probably my favorite type of horse ever.
