The first one we went to was the Winton A and P show. I was really cool and Danny and Poppy both got 'highly commended', while our friend Hannah got champion for the pet goats section. There was a fancy dress competition as well, so Poppy was dressed up as 'Goat Kid' and got first, Hannahs goat, Bb, was dressed up completely in pink with a little hat on and got second, and Danny was dressed up as 'Bat Goat' and came third.
The second one we went to was the Gore A and P show. It took around an hour to get there, but it was worth it. This one was much bigger then the Winton one, so there where two different age groups for the pet section. Abbi was in the 11 and unders, and me and Hannah where in the 12 and over. Danny came first for our age group pet competition, Hannah third, and Abbi got second for the younger group (which I thought was pretty good as there where way more entries in her age group then mine).
There was a fancy dress at the Gore one to, and the goats where all dressed up the same as the last A and P show. I think there where about 12 people with their pets in this one though, which is why I was really surprised when Danny got second!
On Saturday, we all went to the Southland A and P show at Donovan park. It was heaps of fun and at the end we got to go in the grand parade with the goats wearing their ribbons.
For the pet competition, their was just me, Abbi, and Hannah in the goat section. So Abbi got first, Hannah got second, and me and Danny got third. For the fancy dress Hannah took one of her other goats, Jubilee, and dressed her up as a horse. Abbi dressed Poppy up as Goat Kid (again), only this time she dressed up with her and whore a cap and a back pac, and I dressed Danny up as Bat Goat, this time with some little booties (or leg bands), and I dressed up with him too- wearing black and grey and a cape. Hannah came second, Abbi came third, and me and Danny didn't get placed at all :( There where about 12 people there though, and they only had up to sixth place- but they DID give everyone a $10 voucher for East Road Pets, so it's ok :)
Abbi also got 'Reserve Champion', as all the people who won a first place in their class (minus the lambs) when in another round to see who got champion. Abbi came second :)
So in the end we came home with: a third ribbon, a first ribbon, a reserve champion ribbon, and $60 worth of East Road Pets vouchers!
It was a good day out :)
These photos are of the Winton A and P show- I will try and get photos of the Southland and Gore A and P shows tonight. (They are on Dads phone)
