We went to a chicken show today. Yes, a chicken show. This was the 4-H event where our great nephew Jordan took three of the chickens he's been raising since early May.
The temp had been in the high 90s earlier but by the time we arrived at 4 p.m. a few clouds had gathered and it was only 93 degrees in the shade.
After the show, the 4-H did an auction of the chickens in the show. Jordan's three chicken sold to the high bidder for $100. OK, I was the high bidder. Jilda and I had made up our minds to donate the money to 4-H because we believe in what they are teaching our children.
Jordan called me a sucker because he said I could probably have bought them for $40. We had a good laugh as I wrote the check.
Jilda is going to blog about the show too so she's going to post a picture of the ribbon Jordan won.

I saw Jilda's post and the wonderful ribbon pic! He's a winner for sure and how sweet that the chickens get to stay with you! 4H is big around these parts and I agree that it's a wonderful organization for kids.
ReplyDeleteYay Jordan. And yay to you and Jilda.
ReplyDeleteThat dude is gonna remember Uncle Rick and Aunt Jilda (his mentors) for the rest of his life. You guys have enjoyed him I am sure, but what a joy to him to have you guys!
ReplyDeleteIt is also nice to enjoy some fun with a donation....

Congratulations to Jordan and also to his main assistant. It is a good job well done.
ReplyDeleteMany of us are suckers when it comes to the children in our lives
ReplyDeleteYay for Jordan for winning second place. Wow, his chickens have grown a lot. I bet with the price you paid for them, they will lay golden eggs. You never know. I would be tempted to paint one with gold paint to have a good laugh with Jordan. Anyway, it was money well spent.

You two are so good to Jordan. He will never forget you. I never miss a good chicken show.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Good for Jordan and how much he learns from both of you. Glad you wrote the cheque
ReplyDeleteSoon as I read they went for $100 to the highest bidder, I guessed that you were the bidder!
