Have never entered anything in the Alaska State Fair. We thought about it a couple years ago after attending the Ninilchik Fair for the first time. My daughter wanted to enter her two heritage bronze turkeys, Buck and Miss Cuba. Casmir had eyeballed the competition and figured they were a shoe in.
Came home and discovered that Russ Maddox's dogs had used them for chew toys, and they had passed away. Not a pleasant thing to deal with.
This year we decided to enter our goats and birds. This move was also hit by tragedy. Our handsome roan, Craigafer, developed congestion issues and passed away. Taylor was the unhappy receiver of this news, she loved that little goat. Our other goat, Oliver, is also coughing, so we put him on antibiotics and left him at home with a couple chickens for company.
Packed up the rest of the birds, and are headed north. Stop by the Poultry Exhibit and give the birds a gander. They will be on display until August 31st.
