Corn, Beans, and Parades


Angelina, Lynette, Paula, Hayes, and Laurie on the farm truck, getting ready to wave, wave, wave.

It was a fun and busy week this week in Modoc. The Fair is in town, and that means we're trekking to Cedarville to see everything from rides to the destruction derby to the giant vegetable contest...and of course, the parade just wouldn't be complete without Frank the Farm Truck and the beautiful women of Fort Bidwell sitting on hay bales on back waving and throwing...lettuce? Next year we'll have it more together with a shade, some green beans to throw, a dressed up donkey, and more. This year, we're happy Frank made it to Cedarville and back before his starter died.

On the farm, the corn is jussssssst about ready, and the green beans are coming on strong. The melons aren't quite there yet, but the pumpkins are big and are starting to get nicely orange. A chill is in the air in the mornings. Labor Day weekend is almost upon us, and we're looking forward to welcoming many guests from near and far.


Carlos with the world's longest green bean, and Pinney checking out the corn. It's about ready, right on time!
