Also, I never knew people did such awful things in showing!
Oh, you haven't heard half of it yet, Kelsey! Some peeps go to no end to win! That's why I use to ride my show calf outta the arena...she should have place first but some of my competitors were relatives of the judges. It's just sad ....and a "hollow" victory!

Breeze my patootie!

We're somewhere on the wind sock between that "Gentle Zephyr" and "Hurricane in Area".
I guess I had better call the meteorologist, it's broke here but we're getting plenty of sunshine piped in today! :D

Wow that's ridiculous! I have hear dthe dog show world is like that a lot too and probably the horse world. It's all politics and who you know. Pathetic. The best animal should win but I guess not. Unless you have a truly exceptional animal that they can't deny
 
Is Cheyenne a very big city? Where is it compared to all of you?

See if this map shows up good enough for you to see Kelsey:

Cheyenne is in the SW corner. I'm currently between Laramie & Rawlins. Our new house is north of here. Where our "forever-someday" home is up in NW Wyoming, see Cody? That's in Blooie territory.

Population wise:
Cheyenne around 63,000
Casper around 57,000
Cody is about the same as Rawlins...around 9,500
 
They even cheat at plant shows- years ago I had a friend that grew & showed African Violets. One of the most important features for showing was how many flowers were open day of judging. She told me some people used egg white to glue flowers back on.
Some plants had "stick tight," blossoms- others would have flowers that dropped off prematurely for any reason under the sun. I never wanted to show plants so it didn't affect me but, I could not believe that even at plant level people cheated. :barnie

Wow that is a small city!! Just Googled and it says Cheyenne is the largest city in Wyoming!? :eek: Plymouth is just under 60,000 by a coule hundred. And I don't even consider that a city. But Plymouth is massive land wise but still.

W0w that is ridiculous! I have never understood why people want to win so badly and are willing to do anything to make it happen. Especially if it's a hobby or for fun. I guess it is not just "for fun" for those people. It would be for me. And any wins would be a bonus.

But I had no idea people cheated so much and can't believe they do and I also do not think I would ever cheat to win. Maybe I am too honest and/or naive. :idunno
