The Cobden Sheep Club has been preparing for fairs since late May.
They are preparing for their Achievement Day which is at the Cobden fair.
But. they also go to other fairs as well, such as Beachburg, Almonte and Renfrew.
On July 18, some of the sheep club members competed in the Almonte Fair. The Ancaster fair was the weekend of August 16, and there were also a few members there competing as well.
Congratulations to each member who competed.
Everyone did exceptionally well at both fairs and are looking forward to competing in the upcoming fairs.

Members of the Renfrew County 4-H rabbit clubs have been having meeting and preparing the rabbits for the Cobden and Arnpior fairs.
The rabbits are being put through their paces in the agility courses and the members are learning showmanship.
Agility courses are when rabbits go over jumps and through obstacles. The agility course is for more energetic bunnies.
Showmanship is when the bunny sits still on a mat while the owner answers questions about their bunny. Showmanship is good for less energetic bunnies.
Anyone from the age 9 to 21 is welcome to join 4-H, also any breeds of bunnies are welcome.
