The 4-H exhibitions bustled with young contestants and their families at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds on Wednesday morning. Kids and teens refilled water troughs, brushed and bathed their goats, pigs, poultry and rabbits in the dusty, 90-degree heat. Recent winners spent time with their animals and proudly displayed their ribbons as friends and family congratulated them.
Mckenna Harshfield, 14, of Athol, sat beside her Boer goat, Chomper, to keep him company as they prepared for their upcoming competitions today and Friday. At 224 pounds, Harshfield says Chomper is the biggest goat in the barn this year.
