Okanogan County Fair hoppin' with horses
Okanogan County Fair's rabbit barn wasn't the only place hoppin' last weekend. The horse barn, crowded with top quality animals, was buzzing with activities as 4-Hers, FFAers, and adult competitors readied their horses for on-going competitions. The fair, scheduled for Sept. 4-7, was set to culminate Sunday afternoon with the crowning of a new fair queen.
Barn for which animal?
At the Okanogan County Fair, there's no misaking which barn is for equines.
Bud's debut
Sue Brazil of Omak led her 3-month-old quarter horse, Bud, to capture Grand Champion Overall for grade horses at the Okanogan County Fair. Bud's mom, Rosie, took Reserve Champion. Brazil had three horses entered in a variety of events at the 4-day fair.
Raking up at the fair
Okanogan County Fair queen candidate Jerian Ashley, 15, of Loomis, spruces up the corral of Paco, a 16-year-old mini-donkey and family pet. This past weekend, queen candidates worked throughout the fairgrounds as part of their efforts to win the 2008-09 crown. Coronation was set for Sunday afternoon. Jerian, a member of the Range Riders 4-H Club in Tonasket, is the daughter of Susan Cooksey, also of Loomis.
Right on Cue
Katie Tietje, 13, of Oroville, and her 3-year-old registered paint gelding, Cue, stretched their legs between events at the Okanogan County Fair, held Sept. 4-7. Cue (aka Doc's Bar B Cue) grabbed top honors in several competitions. To see complete horse results from fair, click here.
