Busy Weekend

10/10/2012

This past weekend was Applefest, the big event of the year here in Cedaredge.  It is a fun time with lots of vendors, good music, and of course, APPLES!  The whole downtown is blocked off, and about 10,000 people come to participate in the festivities.  We have a great climate for growing apples(and other fruit) hence the celebration towards the end of the picking season.  We also had company, our good friends Kent and Anna Chavet from Phoenix came up for the weekend.  We went to the Applefest Gala Friday night and enjoyed good food, dancing, and great company. 
    Saturday morning Winnie participated in her first triathlon- which she thoroughly enjoyed and did very well in.  Next year I will do it again(skipped this year) and Winnie, and maybe Tori and Alex.  It is a shorter one, and the kid distances are perfect.
    We also sold  our younger Pinzgauer bull and a steer to Rocky Mountain Pinzgauers in Elizabeth, CO, and they left on Saturday as well.  The day before we had loaded up a yak steer for a buyer, so our animal numbers are shrinking!  We do have a few more yaks for sale that I hope to move before the winter.
    All in all a fun and productive weekend,
