A unique attraction that pulls in people from around the world to the San Diego County Fair, is the different variety animals and projects that can be seen throughout the areas of the Fair. Although many know of these animals and special projects, they do not understand the work that is put in and time that is sacrificed. Another interesting aspect of FFA and Agricultural Education is Ag Mechanics in wood shop. These students who are also FFA members, worked for hours on creating projects from their imagination and bringing them to life in time for fair. The students that are apart of Julian’s FFA Animal Program, first received their animals that included pigs, sheep, goats and rabbits, towards the end of March, with an exception for our only steer which arrived in November. From that day on, the responsibility of raising and caring for the animals, rested on the shoulders of the Julian FFA Chapter. The stress of correctly exercising, feeding, and cleaning the animals grew, as the dates of the Fair creeped closer. For an individual raising an animal, it would not be uncommon to spend over an hour each day practicing for shows, cleaning pens and animals. As summer reached Julian, the FFA members who raised lambs and pigs spent seven hours in one day trimming and shearing the animals preparing for the Fair. A few days later, this was accompanied by students tattooing their rabbits’ ears to mark which rabbits belonged to each student, for close to three hours. Finally, the day of June 24th arrived and the Julian Animal Chapter Members moved their animals into the barns of the Del Mar Fairgrounds at midnight and finally headed to sleep to start the exciting yet exhausting experience. Throughout the week, these students changed in and out of their distinct blue and gold corduroy jackets, as they showed their animals in front of judges and stands full of supporters. The days filled with tiring work and fun, as the auction for the animals crept closer. The shows with judges came to a conclusion as blue, red, and white, ribbons were awarded to winners. On the day of the auction, the members of Julian FFA dressed for the last time in their symbolic blue jackets and sold their perfected animals to the highest bidder. The blood, sweat, and tears, that had been drawn throughout the time of raising animal was finally repaid and the weight of every hardship was quickly lifted. On the last day of the Fair, the members of Julian FFA sat as a family as an assembly was called for the recognition of members from all chapters who won honorable awards. Cheers rang out from Julian’s tight group as awards were handed out to members of the Julian Chapter. Laughter and joy followed the Julian Animal members as they gathered together for the last time on Sunday, and finally left at three in the morning to head back to their homes, waving goodbye to the Del Mar Fair. After only a short three weeks, our FFA students were back in uniform, showing at the week long Ramona Jr. Fair! The stress and excitement magnified as show days for animals finally arrived. Our Julian FFA members did not let our community down, winning awards and ribbons, with smiles across their faces. For these wonderful experiences, I would personally like to thank Curtis Martineau, the Advisor of the Julian Chapter, and Mary Martineau, the Advisor of the Ramona Chapter, for everything they did to run these incredible trip. Thank you!

Saturday - the annual Grape Stomp Festa at Menghini Winery held it’s 23rd edition. This years beneficiary of the frund raising event was The Inner North Star PTSD Retreat Center, here in Julian. “Through fundraising events like this Veterans and First Responders can go to a no-cost PTSD retreat to receive the support they deserve.” Well attended as usual, the all day stomp with some tasting thown in, or the other way around, saw the weather cooperate with mid 70’s temperatures and a little more wind than needed. Which did not dampen the spirits of the stompers young or old. At the end of the day there was enoungh stoping done to reduce the grapes to a nice juice for next years vintage.
