We are off to Lake Tahoe for an exciting and cold weekend! My son, Jack is bring some friends up which is always a lively time. Friend, Ben, is coming and bringing a friend who is flying in form PA for the weekend and Jack is bringing the new squeeze, Whitney. Jack met Ben his /Frosh year at Penn State and they have been friends ever since. Ben even followed Jack out to CA two yrs ago after he graduated. Ben settled in the LA area and is working for an accounting firm and loving the life style of sunny CA. We are looking forward to seeing him again as it has been awhile. Should be a weekend full of lots of laughs.

Winters FFA sweeps at Yolo County Fair

Tyler and his prized turkey

It was an exciting time in the auction arena yesterday at the Yolo County Fair. The Winters FFA was well represented. Many of the Grand Champion or Reserve Champion animals belonged to Winters FFA members and of course, my nephew, Tyler was there with his Grand Champion turkey. Prices were sure down this year, I think the Grand Champion steer only got $2.75 a pound. Too bad for the kids who put so much time and effort into their projects but a really lesson that there is no guarantee of any profit when it comes to making a living in agriculture, or any small business for that matter. Kudos to all the kids and their families for being there and supporting them. There is a lot of hard work that goes on behind the scenes to make this a successful event.
