Thea wanted some pictures of the crops growing in the field to take back to Texas. Jonathan is standing in a row of drying hay next to the corn. You can see the soybeans, timber, and beautiful rolling hills in the background.

The Benda family from Minnesota won this year. Our families have been friends and have done sheep business together for many years. They told us that this ram's grandmother was sired by a Van Arkel ram. So it is very fitting that he was awarded a trophy in Dad's name.
Some other highlights from the fair included:
We topped off the evening with a buffet style meal and entertainment at the Heidelberg Restaurant in Germany.
A paint roller extension pole for painting ceilings with a light bulb changer attached to the end works quite nicely.
This is a photo of Jonathan with the biggest mango harvested to date.
