The Labor Day weekend I went to the Fall Fair for 4-H.

This was my first year in 4-H. I learned how to show my lamb in the ring. To do well, you should look at the judge and have your lamb between you and the judge.

In one class, they dressed up the lambs in costumes. The winner was a dinosaur guy.

My favourite thing about the Fall Fair was the rodeo. The bull riding was really exciting. There was a goofy guy in a barrel. He was funny.
