- 11,174 square miles
- longest county in the U.S.A. 211 miles from the Utah border to just south of Alpine, AZ
- 2/3 of the population and more than 1/2 of the land is comprised of the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American Tribe
- total county population 70,000
Not surprisingly, Apache county is also the poorest county in AZ.
I thought the art exhibits were very good, and especially enjoyed this picture.
The Native American art was amazing.
Arizona is very proud to be providing the Christmas Tree for the nation this year. It has been selected from the forests near Show Low.
The 4-H program is alive and well.
Needlework is still valued. (The sign is sideways, not the picture!)
I didn't grow a garden this year, but I appreciate those who did. We had VERY little rain and most gardens suffered.
This coat of chain mail was hand made.
The artistry in this saddle was impressive.
The Boy Scouts always need support. The Girl Scouts were not represented.
Brandon proudly showed off his goat.
Julia is blow drying her sheep after it had a bath.
Here the cattle are bathed and prepped for the show ring. They used WD 40 to shine up the hooves!
And lastly, a very small midway.
Stay tuned............who knows where we'll be next!

I love this kind of stuff! When I saw the sheep at Casa Grande, they were spray painting their legs. See any of that here?
No, no spray paint, but it was interesting to see all the work that goes into preparing the animals for the show ring. I also like watching the junior showmanship classes.
That midway looked pretty good-sized to me. Looked like fun.
Hey Cuz, it looks like you are fitting in real well with the local establishment. I guess you won't be returning to our ever-so-lovely gloved peninsular soon!
