QUOTABLES, Day 1 without fair 😢. This represents two days technically, because y’all I was too damn tired to post the list Sunday. But it doesn’t mean I didn’t track ‘em. 😉

💬 “Well now, those are definitely 4-H quotables. 🍀 (straight from three fortune cookies during our post-fair celebration supper. See photo)

💬 “Hey, when’s the next 4-H meeting?” 😂

💬 “This is basically the first conversation we’ve had since last Sunday.”
“I know, right? It’s been all- ‘who has my golf cart?’ ‘Feed the pig!’ ‘go find me the show halter!’ ‘Has anyone seen Miles?’ Eat a damn sandwich’” …

💬 “Hey Susie look on the bright side. At least you don’t have to go clean up a duck pen.” 💀

💬 “Snip-Snap Cadillac!”

💬 “Today my goal is to eat kind of healthy. You know, so I don’t throw up on the Screamer.”

💬 “I exploded a green 4-H balloon on my mom while she was in the shower. She needed just a little more fair.” 🎈🍀

💬 “You dance like you’re from the 90s.”
“That’s because I am.”

💬 “Bone bone bone bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone. Now tell me whatcha gonna do…”
“I tell ya what I’m gonna do. I AM gonna hide. From my mama.”😉
“You gonna pray every day too?”
“Wait… I’m too young for this song.”

QUOTABLES, last day of the fair. Walker Montgomery 4-H meet and greet, rodeo, and the traditional water fight!

Today’s quotes will be left to our 4-H seniors. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

💬 Whoa… I needed 5-7 business days to prepare for this. But my advice to you younger 4-Hers would be to stick with it and don’t be embarrassed if you forget how to do something. We’ve all done it. Just have fun and remember these years.

💬 Take the constructive criticism… and use it.

💬 Work hard and put your animals first. We wouldn’t be here without them.

💬 You’re never too old to have fun. And if you put your heart and soul into your animal, it will pay you back.

💜🍀💜

QUOTABLES, Day 4 of the Fair - livestock auction and beef barn party!

💬 There’s just puddles of wood chips everywhere. In my house.

💬 You want to be weird and eat on real plates with forks?

💬 I really just needed them to get out of my oxygen.

💬 You two look so relaxed over there! (They’re obviously heavily medicated).

💬 Is that… purple dye? 🟣

💬 I been tracking you all over. Just following your breadcrumbs. I went to Annie Allison, to Nana, to Georgia, to Noah, to the beef barn. I guess now I know what it’s like to be you.

💬 2am dance parties are why I fair.

💬 I feel like Peter Pan, I can fly anywhere baby. If you show up here in tights tomorrow, I’m out.

💬 Duck around, that was a good time.

QUITABLES, Day 3 of the county fair. At first, I thought my iPhone was just messing up by always autocorrecting “quotables” to “quitables.”

Now I think it’s just the universe, trying to tell me something… 

💬 If you feel like you look stupid you’re doing it right.
Aaaaaand that’s a quotable.
Hey, I made it!

💬 Pistol’s not handsome. He’s amazing. I’m gonna go knock on these rodeo guys doors and tell him if they need somebody to help them, they can give me a call. Pistols a lean mean cowherd machine.

💬 The only thing I don’t wanna do is take a nap. But I don’t have a choice. So here we are.

💬 No blood before the show.
No promises.

💬 I’m all healed from Junior Nationals… let county fair weekend begin!

💬 Good things happen to good people. And come to think of it, bad things also happen to good people. And if you want to bitch about either, you can take that up with the good Lord, and good luck to ya. Because I’m certain county fair politics are high on His To Do list.

QUOTABLES, Day 2 of the fair. Beef show, Horse Racing events, and the swine show!

Reserve Champion Beef Showman, Grand Champion Breeding Heifer to Miles & Missy!
Reserve Champion Breeding Heifer to Emma!
Great runs (well, great walk-trots because Mom doesn’t know what she’s doing when we enter horse project events…) for Miles & Pistol!
Grand Champion Overall Swine Showman, and Champion Market Hog to Emma & George!!!

💬 And for my 4th trip down Hollingsworth Road before 8am…

💬 Hey don’t be judgey. It’s the fair. The cleanest place to p*e is the trailer or the grass.

💬 It smells like wet feet in here.

💬 (from the waitress) Are there any drinks needed other than water and alcohol?

💬 Well, Miles put on jeans… but we aren’t sure they’re his…

💬 Will you please stop cursing in front of the children? I mean, it’s one thing in the pig barn, but this is the horse project. We have to pretend to be respectable.

💬 I’m not even videoing this. I’m just mesmerized by her.

💬 What’s wrong Miles, you look sad? Oh nothing! This is just my thinking face.

QUOTABLES, First official day of the fair! (are we kidding? It’s only Day 1?)

Kamryn’s first WyCo fair!! 💜
Reserve Champion Overall Goat Showman, and Reserve Champion Market Goat goes to Miles and Tuxedo! 🖤

💬 (All animals in place by 8am)
“What time do you want to get there?”
“7:59”
“That’s sounds about right.”
(See photo)

💬 (While driving to the fairgrounds). “MOM! Did you see that bunny we just barely missed? Pull over!! We can catch it and take it with us!”
“Sure buddy. Then it can go live with the duck.”

💬“Mom, Abigail told me if I help her take care of her baby bunnies all week long, then I can keep one for free!”
“Miles, I’m not leaving this fairgrounds with more animals than I brought.”
“Good thing we’re sellin’ the pig then.”

💬”Your boy. He was at the top of the ride and just threw his shoes down to me and Cindy.”

💬”Here I am covered in goat schmoo and Delaney asks me if she can take care of the horse. Of course you can! I have no idea what I’m doing anyway!”

💬”So a guy dressed as a leprechaun came up and put his arm around me…”
“This sounds like the start of a bad joke.”
“You see some weird biz at the fair.”

💬”I will not be late. This is my home court and the last thing I will be to my beef show is late.” (Mom tears up with pride)

💬”Son, you need to focus. Stop asking me about bunnies during the goat show. What are you trying to go out there and do right now?”
“Exactly what Blake taught me to do. Win.”
“Whoa. I don’t know what answer I was expecting, but that’ll do.”

PS- Special shout out to Sarah Goss, who continues to take care of kids and cattle across Kansas through her cinnamon rolls!

QUOTABLES, T=-1 day until the fair (part deux). We get by with a little help (and a lot of really great calls, texts and comments on social today) from our friends!!

💬 “For the inquiring minds that want to know if the duck made it to the fair, well, you’ll just have to come on out to the fair and find out.” (Ever the salesman)

💬 “So… did they catch the duck?”
“No- they made a valiant effort but she remains free.”
“Maybe she didn’t want to go to the fair.”
“What a lame duck.”
“Things went afoul.”

💬 (when referring to his flat trailer tire) “This is not the first battle I’ve lost today Marcus. My first one was with a duck. And I don’t like to lose.”

💬 “We haven’t even made it to the fair yet, and already I think we’ve peaked.”

Y’all, there’s just too much content before noon to waste any time.

QUOTABLES, T= -1 day until the fair. Foods, horticulture, and building exhibits all turned in!

💬 6:30- “That’s the fastest I’ve seen you get out of bed all summer.” “Well, I’ve got fair business to take care of.”

💬 7:20- Hey are you listening to Mommy? Sorry Sue, you’re going to have to repeat all that. We are driving past the carnival and you lost him.

💬 7:30- “Why is your dad soaking wet? And why does he have a net?” “He was trying to catch the duck. They both ended up in the pond.”

💬 7:45- (after three different people came to pick up three different McCrackens…all before 8am) “Geez, this place is like a car rider line.”

💬 8:00- “What time is Zach on?” “9:00 show, I think around 9:15. Could be a little wild. There was some miscommunication with the Zombie Bus Man.”

💬 9:00- “Karlie’s got that county fair fever!”

💬 12:24- “T minus 36 minutes until the duck show. Let’s go swimmin.”

💬 1:15- “Guys, we need to talk about realistic expectations for naps this week.” “Mom, don’t worry. I’m growin on fair naps.”

QUOTABLES, T=-2 days until fair

💬”You know, while I’m clipping this goat…”
“What on earth are you doing?”
“Giving myself a six pack.”

💬”Just getting the swine ready for the pig show.”

💬 “Dad! It’s the coffee truck! Dad, it’s Screamer! Dad!!! It’s the FERRIS WHEEEEEEEEEL!!!” 🎡

💬 “Does anyone else know about this? I mean, do regular people know what it’s like to live county fair?”

💬 “Miles is showing his duck this year. He’s gonna… wing it.” 🦆

💬 “We’re working too hard to take anyone else’s sh*t. Oh dang, sorry I said sh*t.”
“That’s ok Mom. You better stop apologizing for cussing now. Otherwise I see a whole lotta sorrys comin up.”
