Proud to have been a sponsor this year of Isle of Wight County Fair! Due to some health issues, I wasn't able to go enjoy it much this year. Hopefully next year works out a little better.

We’re grateful to our Building Sponsors for supporting the Isle of Wight County Fair! 🎪

Thank you for your helping make the fair possible.

Well.....I walked outside to a sight I've never seen before. I'll give y'all a hint. I may have fertilized emu eggs soon.

My White Chinese Gander was NOT in the mood during coop out on Sunday at the Isle of Wight County Fair poultry show.
Funny story along with this. Another exhibitor came over to talk to me about the geese. He asked if I had any available, I told him I will try hatching in the spring. Then I reached in to grab my goose. He bit me, and beat me with his wing. All while this is happening, the exhibitor says "I STILL WANT EM!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wasn't really in a position to respond at that moment, but a core memory was formed, and I got a good laugh about the situation later. At least he has an idea of what to expect from these little buttheads.
Here's a picture of my bruise, and the butthead in question. I also need advice on how to teach geese that domestic violence is NOT OK!
