One of my favorite parts of fair this year had nothing to do with ribbons or banners.
It was watching one brother step back from showing and become his brother’s biggest supporter. Whether it was helping behind the scenes, lending a hand, or just making sure Easton had what he needed, Tyson was always there.
Easton packed a lot into one week—surprising us by showing a dairy cow and a pig, mentoring in the Bacon Buddies show, being on the winning livestock judging team, mud volleyball ending with a quick trip to the ER, time with friends, and accomplishing a goal he’d been chasing by winning the Market Show.
More than anything, I’m proud of the way he handled it all. And even more thankful for the reminder that some of the best moments at the fair happen outside the show ring.
