Favorite Foods Day 2011

Five Raymond 4-H'ers attended the Madera County 4-H Favorite Foods Day, held January 22 in Chowchilla. There were many GREAT dishes on hand. All of our kids participated in Consumer Science Judging and Showmanship, and all of them came home with blue ribbons to boot! Hana, Ryan and Riley received perfect scores on their entries. Jessie's cake placed second in the "made from a mix" and Jordan placed second in Intermediate Consumer Science Judging.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

Dog Show Winners

The Dog show was small, but mighty. The judge had nothing but praises for all 5 showmen this morning. The sit stays and down stays couldn't have been ANY better. Raymond girls took 1st, 2nd and 3rd in Jr Showmanship. They are ALL WINNERS in my book! An Excellent showing girls! Raymond 4H is excited to have such awesome competitors.

2010 Madera Fair Horse Show

After the show - everyone is in various stages of changing - getting comfy for the ride home. :) Jessie actually has her pants on under her 'jammies, a trick we have learned to keep pants cleaner before the show. I'm not sure what she was thinking here, but hey what do I know. Alexis and Savannah wasted NO time getting into their comfy clothes. Jordan, well she's always last, note the t-shirt in her hand...

Here they are! As they should be. Our group photo of the day!

They really are the BEST!

Alexis and Saffire (the only ones to make both days) won 5 firsts and 2 seconds in gymkhana, a first, a third and two fifths in the horse show, and the jr Gymkhana HIGH POINT!

Jessie and Babe won 1 first, 1 second, 2 thirds, and 2 fifths.

Savannah and Ringo ended the day with 2 firsts, 3 seconds, 2 fifths and the jr English HIGH POINT.

Jordan and Dollar brought home 2 firsts, a third and a fifth place ribbon for the day.....

Jessie, Jordan and Savannah will be showing their dogs this Saturday!

We have Record Book Winners!!

They kept after them - and even though they were still putting in the finishing touches at the last minute. It WAS worth it. Raymond 4H entered 4 record books in the County Wide Record book Judging. They were ALL horse project records - and THEY ALL MEDALED!!

Jordan - 3rd medalist

Jessie - 4th medalist

Savannah - 6th medalist

Alexis - 7th medalist

AN EXCELLENT JOB GIRLS!
