Dallas County Fair

After we were finished at the Sioux County Fair on Tuesday we drove back to Cherokee to spend the night before we headed to Dallas County. Of course I worked out on Wednesday morning. My father and I found a wellness center that had a basketball court so I got some shots up and had a short little work out with him. Thanks Dad! I knew better then to leave Cherokee without seeing Bruce Jones, so before we took off we made a pit stop to see Bruce at his office. He is a one of kind guy. I look up to Bruce because of many different things. For example since I have met him and been aquatinted with him he has always given me good advice, believes in me and always tells me how proud he is of me. This is what has been neat with this whole experience, it is people like Bruce that I have met and they have made an impact on my life and  the relationships with those people I will cherish for the rest of my life. It is always great to chat with Bruce and catch up with him. Off we went to the Dallas County Fair which is in Adel. Adel is located just north of Interstate 80. I was asked to come help crown their county fair queen and to eat at the sponsors dinner. The dinner was absolutely delicious; it is tough to watch what I eat as I travel around to different fairs as all of you know fair food is the best food! :) I was able to meet all the queen candidates as they were excited for the crowning to take place. The young lady who was selected 2011 Dallas County Fair Queen was a great gal and will have fun representing her county. After dinner and the crowning I was able to walk around the fairgrounds and of course I hit up the cattle barn. Every fair I have been to it has been a must for me to walk through the cattle barn. It is kind of comical to see the look on some people's faces when I walk through the barn with a dress, heels, crown and sash on. Most of them probably think I am crazy but behind that dress and heels is a girl who loved to be in the barn working with her cattle and wasn't afraid to get dirty. :) I want to thank Tammy Straight and the Dallas County Fairboard for having me at the Dallas County Fairgrounds for the evening. My parents and I drove back to Knoxville that night and I was able to sleep in my own bed, it was great to be home.

God Bless,
