The hike was great and took us to an overview of Whitefish and Whitefish Lake (Nickel was not very impressed with the view). The fair was slimmed down from the usual version and was made up entirely of 4-H animal and plant entries. It was really cool to see the young girls out there pushing cows around and sitting in the corrals with their animals making sure they were eating their dinners. We watched a teenage boy milking a cow and talked to another who was in with the miniature horses. The rodeo was awesome and started with kids riding sheep. The 6 year old who rode his sheep backwards ended up winning. This is the kind of rodeo I miss, cow roping, bronc riding and bull riding. Halftime was a 12 year old Blackfeet Fancy Dancer who has won world champions.
