A prestigious win for my nephew

A big event on the West Australian calendar is the Perth Royal Show, which is in its final days. It’s held over about ten days and would be somewhat similar to the State Fairs in the USA. My nephew exhibits a large number of goats and is always keen to win the Governor’s Cup which was first awarded in 1896 for most points across all livestock competition categories. This includes sheep, cattle, horses, goats and alpacas. This year, he won the award for the fourth time and for the third consecutive year. He gets to keep a replica of the silver cup but the original is kept in safe keeping at the Royal Agricultural Society office. Hopefully I can how an image of the ribbons he won on the first day. Otherwise, you’ll just have to imagine it.

Congrats to your nephew. So why can't he have the original, isn't it his to do with as he pleases?

Wow, four wins and three in a row is huge, your nephew must work so hard with those goats. That cup has been around since 1896 so it's a real honor to win it. Would love to see the ribbons if you get the photo up.

It sounds really cool, and a lot of fun. Lots of work, sure, but rewarding. Yeah, state fairs are big here in the summer. I haven’t been in a long time, but they get a lot of attention and publicity for many reasons.
