Around the farm
At the left - Andrew Hounshell, Gary
Hounshell Jr, Jacki Stuppy and Zach
Hounshell in front of the Rose bushes
at the State Fair. As you can see they
really wanted to have their pic taken.
This was taken right before they went
to change clothes to give their speeches
about what they learned curing country
hams.
To the right is all of the non- smoked
hams at the fair. There was over 400
hams total (including smoked hams,
didn't get a pic of those) at the fair this
year. Each ham was divided between
smoked and non-smoked, then again
into the different years the child was
born.  Andrew won a Blue ribbon for
his ham, Gary Jr won a Red ribbon for
his and Zach also won a Red ribbon for
his. All of the children there did a great
job procesing their hams, all the hams
looked and smelled wonderful!
We just got the results from the speech part of the  Country Ham Projects at the State
Fair. Zach recieved a Red Ribbon , Gary Jr. recieved a Blue Ribbon and Andrew also
got a Blue Ribbon. Great Job Boys!!!!

Everyone ready for another round of "Ring around the Pond?"
This is the trailer we purchased this year
to make going to shows a lot easier. No
more loading and unloading the truck
several times a week. We where lucky to
find what we was looking for with a
dressing/sleeping area.
This is her Before pic, and will post After
pics as soon as it's warm enough to have
her painted,  Red and Black.
