Weekly post: 6/3-6/10

Oh hey! I was late this week. My bad!

I really don't have a lot of different assignments to post but I have a lot to post from a few assignments.

Ya'll the fair was just in town. I haven't had a fair in forever. I love it. So many community features are to be shoot at the fair. Not to mention that we had mutton busting- which for those who don't know, that is small children riding a sheep like a bull. It was amazing. I've wanted to cover mutton busting forever.

Also the Distinguished Young Women program happened. This is a scholarship program. It is interesting. I've never one to be a pageant person. But when I hear the stories from the winners that this is a tradition for them to be in because their sisters, mothers and grandmothers have done it. That small town tradition I like and respect.

In this edition of 'What did Kaitlin shoot last week':
• Rodeo
• Distinguished Young Women
• Fair fun
