One of our favorite weekends... the Meeker Classic Sheepdog Trials!
Always a great event, this year the whole family got out in the
The Classic has many great side features, including a petting zoo, artisan booths, plenty of great food and souveniers. One of our favorites parts is the art contest - artists from all over submit their work in hopes to be chosen as the poster for next year's event! There are always many beautiful pieces - and this year we found one espeically unique... and now it's hanging in Jason's new office! He won the silent auction for this piece, an acrylic painting by CO artist Larel Bahe.
Always a great event, this year the whole family got out in the

Another of our favorite parts is the concert downtown! This year featured a great bluegrass band whose music was apparently good for flying around like an airplane:
But really, the main event is what we all enjoy - the sheepdogs (border collies primarily) and the infamously ornery Meeker sheep doing their thing!
It's fascinating to see the skill that
these dogs and thier handlers use
and the bond they share!
"That'll do"
Just want to pinch the cheeks on that lil 'airplane'!
