My kids are "Genuine Hicks!!"

We are quite the family of Hicks - but we have fun. Here are videos of my kids at the fair - Seth, Megan, and Shelby entered the Pig Wrestling Competition. They didn't do too bad. O.K.~the object of the game is to catch the little pig and put him hind quarters first into the barrel in the middle of a muddy ring. Doesn't sound to hard right?? The ring is filled with mud - not real mud, but even more slick. The event ended up having the biggest turnout that I've ever seen on a Tuesday night in Grace. It was a blast to watch. Some of the teams really dressed up and some were completely covered in mud by the time they were finished. Shelby's team went first and didn't have any success at getting the pig, but had a great time.

Shelby's team ( Shelby, Sierra Stoor, Jessica & Bailey McCulloch):

Megan's team (A.K.A. The Snout Crushers) they placed 2nd in the Junior division - got a paycheck of $41 :

Seth's first attempt with the "Wayan Crew":

Seth's second attempt - they actually won - watch close it's quick!!! He actually got paid $107 for about 6 seconds of work :

Can you believe what crazy kids I have - Mara had a group of friends that I'm sure she would have been in the ring with if she hadn't had to work. It was great fun!
