Troy, I know what you mean had the same thing happen years back at our
small county fair.......blew people away the first time they saw an
AG...........the fair really wasn't moving with the times.......so my buddy
and i decided to introduce a real weigh- off........then
we had the opposite kind of thing happen at "our" contest at the
fair......we had two catagories....junior and adult.....we offered $$100
for the adult division and $$75 for the junior......well the adults weighed
111 and the junior 321.....something just didn't seem right....and the the
kid couldn't figure why he didn't take top money..and he was right
.......so now we do cash prizes to 15th place heavy takes it....age mean
nothing until we see the need.......sounds like you in the position to
educate the fair of the new trend....of
AG..................congrats......MB
