Saturday, April 19, 2008 was a great day. Don’t get me wrong…there was a lot of planning, work and combined effort that went into making the plowing competition happen. But don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?!
H. D. Edgar and the city of Opp, Alabama graciously donated the use of the land. Mike and Susie Fleming, Cathy and LaDon Dewrell, Anne and Kerry Hancock and Elliott Wheeler worked long and tirelessly on everything from A to Z. Many special thanks to them for a wonderful day!
There was plenty of sunshine. There was a beautiful princess to greet everyone and another to pass out ribbons to the winners. Thank you, Hanna Seymour and Kaitlinne James. There was food, door prizes, singing entertainment, vendors, cake walks, wagon rides, various children’s activities, and lots of folks to enjoy it all.
And, of course, there was the plowing competition:
First place winners in the Riding Division were Jasper and Sassafras with Tip Campbell. Second place went to Fancy and Cletus with Cathy and LaDon Dewrell.
First place in the Walking Division went to Kate with Mike Fleming. Coming in Second was Rooster with Tip Campbell followed by Angus with Tip Campbell and Lowretta with Anne and Kerry Hancock.
Congratulations to all our winners and participants!
