Mr. W, JS, MS, GC

So, what do all the initals behind Mr. W's name stand for you ask? Well, they have to do with our cousin and his pig Jonah that he showed at the local county fair. This post is long overdue, but nonetheless, finally posted.

So, on to the initals.......JS - That stands for "Junior Showman." MS - well, that stands for "Master Showman" - yep, you got it! He won both! And if you saw him show you would well understand why. He outshowed every exhibitor at that fair and then some - and topped it all off with stopping the pig at just the right moment, right in front of the judge - which received applause from a lot of people.
Oh, and don't let me forget the GC - that would stand for "Grand Champion" because he and Jonah took that, too. It was an amazing night for Mr. W and he had a lot of fun doing it. Oh, did I mention that when he stopped the pig that wasn't even in the showmanship contest? Nope, it was during the Grand Champion contest - but Mr. W didn't care. He was there to show - and show he did. I wish everyone could have experienced the determination in his face and in his step while showing and the contagious smile on his face when he won. It was priceless - and really fun to watch!

CONGRATULATIONS again, Mr. W!!!
