California State Fair 2011

I'm so excited to be able to go to the 2011 California State Fair!  For the past four years, my friend Jessica and I have volunteered as judges for the Equine Champion Challenge.  In exchange we recieve tickets and parking passes.  I love the Champion Challenge program!  It gives youth exhibitors the opportunity to be judged on their knowledge of specific species of livestock (there are sections for rabbits, poultry, horses, cattle, goats, and swine) and learn more about the different species. 

Check out http://www.bigfun.org/ for more information on the California State Fair.  It will be running from July 14 through July 31.

Movie Review: Secretariat

I just watched a great movie "Secretariat"  I came out in theatres last October, I wanted to go see it for my birthday, but it didn't work out.  Finally, it became available through Netflix and I love this movie.  It is a wonderful, "feel good" movie that everyone can enjoy.  The music is great, lots of seventies-gospel songs!  My mom's favorite being "Oh Happy Day" 

I highly recommend at least renting it, if you don't want to commit to actually purchasing the movie.  I love watching the racing scenes!  Even though I know the outcomes, I still find myself yelling "Go! Go! Go!  C'mon Go!" at the TV! 

And did anyone watch the Belmont Stakes yesterday?  I heard it was great!
