The Beef Festival



Ok.....Let me explain.

One of my best friends from college lives in Harrodsburg KY and for the past several years they have had an event called The Beef Festival.  This year Jonathan, Navy and I joined in the festivities and cheered on Amy's husband, Mike, and his team, Fattened Calf BBQ, in their cook-off.  Mike's team won 1st Place in Backyard Burger, 2nd Place in Spicy Sauce, 3rd Place in People's Choice and Overall Grand Champion.  Each team allowed the public to sample their entries, and all I can say was that there was a lot of beef....hamburger, sirloin, brisket, etc....I don't think I will be eating beef for a while :)

 

They also had some really neat stuff for the kids to do.  Navy got to see a cow for the first time.  She liked them, but was a little intimidated.  The calf kept trying to lick her fingers but she wanted no part of that!  They also had some sheep and a maze for kids to wander through. 









The best part of the weekend was being able to spend time with Amy and her family.  Navy loved Addie, Amy's daughter, and wanted to walk with her and hold her hand whenever they were together.  I wish we lived closer to one another :(

  1. From Amy Dailey Riley: Awww! This is so sweet! You are such a good friend, Rebecca, and I wish we lived closer, too. Addie is already missing you guys. Thank you again so much for coming and we will come see you soon. Isn't it interesting that many of your trips to Harrodsburg have revolved around cows in some way? First Ashley & Guy and the cows over the fence fiasco and now the Beef Festival!!!! Oh and do't forget the cow on the loose near that church and us stopping the car to pet them. hahaha! We love you guys!
