| We have arrived! |
 |
| Hello Shonda! |
After getting set up we went out to eat supper at Kehde's BBQ. How on earth had we never gone here in all the years of going to Sedalia?? That problem is now solved! We went three times over that three weeks (twice with Jeremy and Shonda!) :D ha!

We ate dinner (the first night) in the old train car part of Kehde's BBQ. Very atmospheric and fun.

And oh my... the food!! It was delicious!! So good!!
 |
| Jeremy had catfish, Shonda had ribs. |
 |
| Jonathan's curly fries looked like they were made from 3 full potatoes! |

| Combo beef and pork plate. |
After dinner we returned to the fairgrounds and headed over to Mathewson Center for the Society Horse Show. Great evening with great friends!
Saturday morning was a little drizzly, but we were able to take a tour of the fairgrounds nevertheless. We were hoping the Coliseum would be open and were a little disappointed to find the stairs closed off. But a man in the office saw us and told us to just open the main arena doors and go in to look around. So kind!

And of course, I couldn't wait to show Shonda my beloved Swine Barn! She gets it now. :D :D :D
All that was missing was for the lights to be turned on. :)

Then it was back to Mathewson for more Society Horse Show.
 |
| this little girl was adorable |
Shonda and I were trying to read what was on this lady's hat/tiara. We finally realized it said 'Happy Birthday'. Then when her class was lined up for judging, one of the other ladies (a competitor) started singing 'Happy Birthday' to her. Everyone joined in. :)
The icing on the cake was when she won 2nd place! Good birthday present. :)
 |
| Marvin and Jeremy visited with this fellow in the horse barn. |
Yup... we had to head back for a late lunch at Kehde's BBQ! Just as good the 2nd time around!! But this time we sat on the main floor. It was decorated with old train station memorabilia.
 |
| That is a mushroom & swiss burger (the Kady burger) and I can't begin to express how incredibly yummy it was!!! |
 |
| INCREDIBLE pie! Pecan, Coconut Meringue, and Turtle Cheesecake shown here. :) |
Back to Mathewson for more Society Horse Show! :)

| I was so happy to see an organist back at the show. Last year they played canned music. The Society Horse Show just needs an organist! |
What a great weekend and start to 'fair season'. :)
