Hartford, Ohio Fairgrounds

Yes, two country bumpkins from the North Carolina Appalachian Mountains drove 8hrs up to some serious corn and soybean country, to Licking County, Ohio. We attended a Goat Show at the very nice Hartford, Ohio Fairgrounds [click to read the webpage]. We didn't take any of our goats, the real purpose of the trip to was to pick up GingerBreadGirl [scroll down the website to read her genetics] and Rhubi. However, we waited until they had a Show and made a long weekend out of it.


Some of the sights you see at a dairy goat show are folks sleeping/camping next to their goats.

Although food vendors were at the Show, Mike and I found this little Diner in town, by the third meal, we were bellying up at the big, "local" table.

The fairgrounds has it's own church,

racetrack,

sheriff's office,

and several riding rings.

but Goat Mote has been doing a great job. The fairgrounds consist of 200 beautiful acres, big-old-shade trees everywhere including the campground.

Jill was hesitant to sell GingerBreadGirl and Rhubi, but THANK YOU so much for letting us turn them from Buckeyes to Tarheels!

16hrs roundtrip, had fun, but always tickled to get back home. Brace yourself, many "Rhubi" photo's coming.
