She's been at it again!

Kayla has been at it again....winning. This year Kayla was selected to go to the State Public Speaking Contest for Extemporaneous....she was not excited. She only did it at Presentation Day because I made her do it.....but that's what moms are for :)  So on Sept 11th she participated in the state contest at MU. We all went up and Donna Cook came with us. She drew 1st speaker and had a choice of three topics. (What do you want to learn in 4-H this year? Tell us about your Specialist or YPA? and What are good character traits?) She choose what she wanted to learn and talked about gardening. She made her three minutes! and after I had to ask if she really wanted to learn about gardening? She said NO, but it was the only thing I can could think to talk about! ha ha, I guess you can say she is learning to BS. Wonder who she gets that from?
Anyway, there were six in her room and we knew she easily made the top three but it would just depend on the judge that day. Well, the judge was in her favor and she won! She received a really nice medal. Taylor Crooks also received first in prepared and Leia Love received 2nd in prepared...Shawnee Indians kicked butt!

We ended the day by going to the 4-H Day with the Tigers. Taylor came with us and the girls had a ton of fun learning all the cheers from Donna...not sure who had the most fun! It was a great day!!!

This week she was also asked to do her Pork Demo at the Annual Farm Bureau dinner. She gave it and did really well....blew the older ones out of the water! It was her largest audience to date with about 100 people in attendance.
