Gympie Show 2009
Saturday, May 16th, 2009Hokay, so… we went to the show today. It was, interesting, but it was also not interesting. Obviously it’s been a few years since I visited a Sideshow Alley and ho dayum the prices seem to have sky rocketed, but that’s not really a surpise.
We had a look at the various exhibits including the caged birds which were interesting. There was a cockatiel that had the colouring we think Mario will have when he grows up. But really, that’s as good as it got.
Earlier in the week, Rachel noticed that our resident llamas down the road were missing… they went to the Show too. She was most excited to see them being judged today, including several that didn’t seem to be too fond of the judge. He copped a couple of good kicks which of course meant those particular llamas didn’t win anything. We heard the owner of one on the way back to their pen saying something along the lines of “I won’t be showing him off again, getting too old and grumpy like his old man.” I’m assuming she was talking about the llama, but she might have been talking about the judge.
Not being a fan of rodeos and the like, there really wasn’t anothing “happening”, so we came home. Visiting Mr & Mrs Zillmann tonight in their new box-filled house. That will no doubt be a little more lively than the Show.
