Here are some fun pics from the week, this crew had a good time.
 |
| So the poultry really set out to impress these "chicks"! |
 |
| Little did they know. they would end up catching the eye of the WaKeeney Poultry Team! |
 |
| They couldn't have planned it any better, even if they tried. |
 |
| Darien won the chapter mushroom hunting championship! She even shared with the rest of the crew. |
 |
| Dean is ready to judge some horses. |
 |
| Time for some last minute instruction before CDE's begin. |
 |
| Does our champion horse judger look dialed in on his reasons or what? |
 |
| Checking those placings. How do we compare to coach? |
 |
| Victoria is not happy with her drop. |
 |
| Sam never likes her picture taken. |
 |
| Study session at the Bartel Inn! |
