horse show

We went to Perry Ga for a car show and swap meet to sell stuff.  We got there early so that we could set up and cover it up  before the storm hit. Yes, once again, we left home heading toward  the direction of a storm.  We finished just in time to hook up the R.V. and  go inside and read.  After the storm ,  Mark hit golf balls.  Then we checked on our stuff. All was find.

We went for a walk around the Perry fairground.  We have driven by that big clock for years, but this is the first time that we been here.  It is huge, with a lot of walking space.  We stopped by and met our neighbors and visited with other vendors that we know.  Then we headed to the cattle barns and ran into a friend of ours at the cattle show.

.Next, we went into the Horse arena that is named after Henry Reeves. He is  from  Mark,s home town,  Quitman.  There was a horse show about to start..  We ate quickly and found a good spot in the stands and watched our first arena  horse show.  I have  been to the kind of show with calf roping and barrel  racing.   This was very different.  It had  horses that trotted and pranced with girls dressed to match their horses  and a ring master. There were tiny pony  carts and harnesses driving around the arena.  You could tell that a lot of money and effort went in to each contest.  Blue ribbons were awarded. We were very good a guessing who would win.  After all we are such experts..  After it was over,  everyone was invited to a progressive barn party.  You just went into the barn and each stable was  opened with plenty of food for everyone.

  We love it when we fall into interesting experiences like this.  Life on the road.   We never know what we will find.
