Better late than never, right? lol
Back in April, I participated in a Plow Competition in Holly Springs, MS and won first Place. This is an event that we have been going to every year for the past 16 years. I always plow and usually win 2nd or 3rd place in women's. About 5 years ago, I won first, but haven't won since. Me and my competitor had to have a plow off this year because our rows were so close. For those of you that don't know, a plow competition is when you walk behind a horse or mule holding a plow used to plow the fields. The goal is to have the straightest furrow (row) so the crops will be lined up nicely. We do it as a fun day and have many other fun events for people of all ages. The favorite is the kids competition. Every child that plows, wins at least $5. First place gets $50 i think, 2nd gets 25 and everyone ties up for 3rd. Pretty fun, huh. My trophy was a wooden mini plow mounted on a plaque. I looked back and couldn't find any pictures of me with my award. I put it in the playroom on the bookshelf to show that thing off! haha ~I guess being raised in the country, I have come to love these country fun events. Houston also participates each year and our entire family has so much fun.
