Wake up. Throw on some clothes. Get out to the barn.
The animals need to be fed and watered. Need to make sure they're OK, and relatively happy.
Cows, chickens, rabbits, pigs: Champions in training can be demanding.
Some like to be brushed; others spook easily. Some like to play; others think they're in charge.
Being the best isn't easy. But it's what drives these teens - that, and their animals.
You'll find stories behind every pen at Tampa Bay's agricultural fairs. Come along as we follow the stories of several teens preparing for the 2007 fair season.

This is Dixie & I doing our daily walk. She is so friendly.
Dixie will keep bumping her nose on your leg until you pet her. If you pet her on her right side, she will fall down on her other side. She will not lay down. She falls over, and then she wants a tummy rub. Dixie can’t get enough tummy rubs. I never knew pigs were so friendly.
I was at the barn for 4 hours today. Then I went home & worked on my record book. And did homework. Studied for my spelling test. I wrote this on paper, and my mom will type this & send it to you. I have to get a bath and go to bed.
This week I have to give her a bath & clean her ears out. Along with A LOT of tummy rubs.
