Young Dairyman’s Booth
For the last 3 years the Gibson-Posey Young Farmer’s have worked at the Young Dairyman’s Booth on Wednesday at the Vanderburg County Fair. Wednesday is always the night of the concert, so it’s usually super busy. This year was different. Matt and I got to the fair about 5 and were still able to park…
Read MoreHow to Build an Outhouse
Yes, this post is titled “How to Build an Outhouse.” Why would I be building an outhouse? Surely you can get custom metal buildings these days. Well, yes you can, and I wouldn’t personally be building an outhouse… but our local Antique Machinery Club has been building them. We’ve been custom building old fashioned outhouses…

Very recently, I’ve started the process of trying to monetize my blog. What does that mean exactly? Well… it means that while I love writing my blog, it would be super awesome if my blog helped to pay for some of the things I’m blogging about. My first step in this process was to sign…

Read MoreA Queen is Crowned
Last night was the 2012 Gibson County Fair Queen Contest. As always, the contest was held at the PCHS Auditorium before the fair started, that way the queen and her court can participate, as queens, in all of the fair events. Dave and I run the sound for this event every year. Mostly that means…
Read MoreOpen Class Photos
Each year the Gibson County Extension Homemakers sponsors the Gibson County Fair Open Class Exhibits. This year I have a photo for every one of the photo categories – one of the many pluses of documenting everything I do for my blog. I have two nature photos, one black and white and one color. I…
