Catholic goats: Bishop Coyne tweets from an Indiana county fair...you gotta love it!


Let Us Walk Together Blog by Bishop Chris Coyne, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis


I had my first experience of an Indiana county fair on Thursday night, June 24. I tweeted and photographed the whole time I was there. Here are the tweets as they happened. Please note this is all intended in fun. I loved the fair and I love being in Indiana.


6:31 PM Jennings County Fair here I come! Late getting here. Fr. Meyer of St Josephs is driving.
6:35 PM Shoot. No tractor pull. Track too muddy. Tractors getting stuck.
6:37 PM Record attendance last night. Missed the baby contest. I guess every kid under one years old gets entered and judged as cute or not cute.
6:40 PM There is also a little miss and mr Jennings County. The little girl who won is Catholic. Wants to meet the bishop.
6:42 PM Free admission. Woohoo!
6:44 PM "Good evening. How's the corn doing?"
6:47 PM Checking out the 4H projects. There's one for Lego construction. Cool.
6:51 PM Where's the goats?
6:52 PM I was just told that Ashley's calf has just won reserve grand champion.
Whatever that means.
6:59 PM I still haven't eat'n anything fried yet.
7:05 PM People are chasing goats in the ring. I'm not sure why.


7:06 PM Oh. They're getting ready to show them. I've been told all the goats are Catholic.
Whatever that means.
7:09 PM Goats

7:10 PM Sorry. Catholic goats.
Whatever that means.
7:14 PM Boy they certainly do have some interesting categories around here.


7:15 PM "Hey how's your corn doin'?"
7:16 PM Pigs. Cool.
7:18 PM Fr. Meyer has been asked to "show a pig". Whatever that means.
7:19 PM Show a pig what?
7:20 PM Ms. Jennings County Fair and moi.
