County Fair 4-H Rocketry group after fly day

Way cool!! I taught a 4H rocketry 40 years ago. The BIG BERTHA was a favorite. One of our more "colorful neighbors" was OCD for anything that went boom and made his own rockets with mini war heads. He wanted to launch one of his creations for the kids. It was a 2 stage. It went up about 30-40', fizzled and layed over on its side when the second stage went off. It shot about a 1/4 down along the county road before hitting an abandoned corrugated metal pump house. The kids loved it.
 
Oldest is finally old enough to do 4h and she did pretty good for her first year winning grand champion showmanship in the novice group and 2nd in carcass out of all the meat goats. She learned a lot and is very competitive so she’s already making plans on how she can do better for next years fair and what other animals she is planning to take. Pretty proud of her as she worked her butt off all summer working with this goat. Considering the first part of June I had to rope the goat every day for two weeks just so we could catch him to what he turned into it was quite the accomplishment for her.

Good for her, congrats.
 
He would fit in a freezer no problem.
Unfortunately I didn’t draw a tag for our unit and with only 20 acres I don’t qualify for an LOP tag. Lucky turd may make it until next year if he stays down by the creek.
