The Gillespie County Fair is one of the highlights in Fredericksburg, TX every summer. All the Future Farmers of America (FFA) members can compete in showing their goats, pigs, and cattle for prizes. The judge gives a running commentary for each entry and it is always a relief when he has moved on to the next competitor. They also hold quarter horse races at the fair and the winner gets to compete in the American Futurity in Ruidoso, NM on Labor Day. I was looking at my photos recently and thought I would try to paint some of these events. It has been hard to concentrate on painting with all the other things going on this summer, but every now and then I have been able to get a day in here and there.
