The day began with a parade, here's Jake driving the sheep down the parade route.
Wayne then showed the crowd our Indian Runner ducks, note...no fences...
We then had a ribbon pull for the kids. About 30 kids decended onto our sheep, in smaller groups divided up into age groups to race for a ribbon. We started with the little ones, figuring that the sheep would be calm.
This little guy was just thrilled to get a ribbon
We had a heck of a time getting these two close enough to pull a ribbon
A bit later the older kids took a turn, their enthusiasm got the best of the sheep, the snow fence could not hold them and off across the park they ran heading for the hills. But...Jake was there, off he went on a big out run gathering the sheep back up and returning them to their confines, to deal with the kids again.
Later in the day I demonstrating starting young dogs on stock. We had a great day and met lots of wonderful people that were amazed by what a well trained stock dog can do.
