The Earhart family has a long history of showing livestock at the Park County Fair.
Larry Earhart began showing cattle at the Park County Fair around age 8, and he still helps his grandkids today almost 70 years later.
His daughter, Andrea Earhart, started showing cattle in the open show at the Park County Fair as soon as she was school age.
Following in Andrea’s footsteps, her son, Holden Cooper, showed his first calf in 2010 when he was 5 years old.
“He used a cow/calf pair with a 15-year-old cow that was one of my old show heifers,” Andrea said.
Her daughter, Hadley, also has been showing since she was 5. Hadley is now 12, “and she is probably the most committed of all of us,” Andrea said.
“She lives for the fair and dutifully prepares for it all year round,” Andrea said.
While the Earhart family did not have cattle at every Park County Fair since Larry’s early days, they have been at most of them.
The family recently looked through photos from past fairs.
“It has been a fun walk down memory lane,” Andrea said.
