Sawyer County Dairy Breakfast - June 23,2012

Good morning friends- It is a bright and sunny day here in the north country! The sun is shining,  can here the grass growing after last nights rain, the birds are singing and flying around, maybe feeding little ones. Oh course the geese are happy, they have headed out to the pasture to have some breakfast- talking amongst themselves all the way! What is going on in your neck of the woods? I sure am praying for those folks in CO with the fires and Duluth, MN with the flooding. I know even here in our state of WI we have certain areas that have not had rain, or have had very little. We have been very blessed to have had rain, at times a lot of it. Everything has really been growing, the crops are looking great.

Mikhaila and I went to the Sawyer County Dairy Breakfast yesterday and wow what a turnout! We did have to stand in line- that is because one 15 year old wanted to sleep in! LOL The food was wonderful as usual - and we were very impressed with the fair grounds as we had not been there before. Thanks so much to all the hard workers and all the people that donated money, time or anything else. You all did a wonderful job and we appreciate you!

This is Kevin from the Ag Station. Need to know what bug is killing something in your garden?  Would you like to be a Master Gardener? He is the one you talk too.

One of the cut signs that they had up.

A very cool sign when you enter the building. The trees and things are actually wood cut outs so it has dimension to it!

This is Otto from the Ag Station. If you need help with animals or a grazing plan- he s the one that will help you! Mikhaila has the same cow shirt and she almost wore it that morning! LOL

Some of the line. There was probably 1,000 people that went through!

Volunteers hard at work!

This was a very cool cooker- the top went around as the pancakes cooked on it! Very cool! Never seen one of these before!

Mikhaila thinks we need one of these squirters! LOL Really?? How many pancakes do I need to make at one time?

Royalty was there as well!

Springbrook Organic Dairy was there with their awesome milk. Wow they now have their drinkable yogurt! Way to go!

Yes we had ice cream and strawberries on our pancakes and free cones as well!

Mikhaila loves her naked neck chicken!! This one was pretty fancy!

Wanted to take this little one home!

What a cutie! What is dairy month without the cows??

These are Mule footed Hogs! They are on the endangered list. They are awesome and I want one! Wilbur needs a girlfriend!

Strawberries anyone

Yes these are tulips and they are carved! Amazing or what??? He had all kinds of toys and things he had carved out of wood.

These should be in my yard! They are the cutest thing!!! Whoever planted them did an awesome job!!

Yup there are cow ones too on the picnic tables!

These were hung from the rafters in the building. Mikhaila wants a bunch of these to hang in her room! Yes she is a cow freak!

These signs are just too cute! Can you tell we had a rainy Saturday?

Once again thanks to all the hard working folks! You did a fabulous job! We look forward to seeing all of you at next years Dairy Breakfasts! Please remember to thank a Farmer for all they do!

Tri-County Dairy Breakfast- 6-9-12

Hello there friends. I am praying you are having a good weekend. Ours here at the farm has been pretty busy.We have had wonderful weather, sure makes it hard to stay inside and get things done around the house!!
Yesterday we started the day by getting up early, getting the chores done and getting going!! We had a dairy breakfast to get too! June is dairy month and well what is Wisconsin known for dairy cows and the products that are made from that milk. So off to the dairy breakfast we went with our mouths watering and our stomachs growling.

The local kids made posters that were very cute! Great job guys!

This is a great cow! Someone has talent!

This is where Mikhaila got excited. If you know my daughter she LOVES food- the more the better. So when she saw 4 of these griddles lined up she was SO happy! She thinks we need to get one of these- she reminds me every time she sees one at one of these events. LOL Like where would I put it? Isn't it alittle extreme  to cook for two on one of these???

Can we just say yum!! Yes we have ice cream on our pannie cakes! Oh its is divine.

Yes strawberries as well. The crop must be good this year as they are selling them along the roadside from the various farms, lots of buckets. I need to get some this year and make some jam.

Isn't he cute?? Yes he came around to give folks seconds on the pancakes. Love the chaps!

I should be up there driving! LOL Nobody would be safe!

I rally am not mean- just had sun in my eyes!

Some of the people that were there. We were the early birds- it started at 6:30 and we were there at 6:45! As we left there was quite the line! Some people say that they have over 1,500 that come to the breakfast! Way to support the event! Thanks to all the volunteers and thanks to all the farmers!

Ok I really like John Deere tractors. I really have no idea why as I have never owned one. I don't even know what my farmers in the family drive. Maybe its the color, all I know is that they are sooo cool!

The little kids had a blast in these blue barrels. What a great way to put these barrels to good use!!

Ok Mikhaila had to get a picture of the cow. Since she was little she loves the people dressed up as different things- IF she can tell they are human. If its a costume with a head thing on that makes them not look human than she doesn't like them. Once she told the Easter Bunny who had a real hot and elaborate costume on that he was not the Easter Bunny, he was just a human dressed like the Easter Bunny! Fun huh?

The red hat ladies were there dishing up yummy ice cream! Yes breakfast followed up by ice cream!

This was amazing. All of these were built and painted and well created by some guys.Very elaborate, detailed, miniature and so detailed! What a fabulous job they did!

Love the piggies and the mom in the haystack!

What can I say this was one of my favorites. Love the wily fox!

Each cow had his name over them on little pieces of wood! Very cool! This was another thing I thought wow wouldn't this be something awesome to pass down to your kids. What a cool hobby- so much talent!

Well that was the Dairy breakfast. Thanks to all those who helped put it on- you all did a wonderful job! Before we left a friend a friend got a picture of the two of us- thanks Otto
