Five Rappahannock 4-H members show hogs in show
The 2008 Culpeper-Madison Rappahannock (CMR) Farm Show was full of activities for people of all ages: a draft horse and mule show, rock crawling trucks, a petting zoo and cookie eating and cupcake decorating contests.There was karaoke, a dance, many items to see and exhibit at the Homemaker’s building, and of course, many animals.
The 4-Hers could be seen caring for their animals in the barns and getting them ready for the various livestock shows, followed by the livestock sale Monday night.
This year, five 4-H members from Rappahannock County showed hogs: Caroline Massie, Tiffany Wayland, and Taylor, Kourtney and Allie Yowell. These 4-H members did extremely well, with the following results in their market hog classes:
Caroline Massie – 2nd, 3rd and 4th and Reserve Grand Champion.
Tiffany Wayland – 1st and 2nd
Taylor Yowell – 3rd
Kourtney Yowell – 4th
Allie Yowell – 3rd
Caroline Massie also submitted items in the Homemakers’ Building and received many first place ribbons, one fifth place ribbon, and a Best of Show for her senior scrapbook.
