MIDDLEBORO — Tom Brady may wear the title of Greatest of All Time but to six-year-old Nora Pelletier, the title equally applies to her sidekick Frankie.

Unlike the former Patriots quarterback, Frankie, after all, is a real-life goat.

“My nana says they call him the GOAT,’’ Nora said of her decision to dress Frankie in a Tom Brady jersey.

Nora and Frankie were two of the participants at the East Middleboro 4-H fair, which took place Saturday, Aug. 31 and Sunday, Sept. 1 at the fairgrounds on Route 105.

The fair allows participants to showcase their efforts and the public to be reminded that the food chain does not start at the store.

“Agriculture gets smaller and smaller’’ in today’s world, said Brenda Easter, chairperson of the East Middleboro 4-H Fair. As that happens, she said, “people forget where they get their food from.’’

East Middleboro 4-H dates back more than 70 years, when Hazel Blanchard started a 4-H crafts club for seven neighborhood girls. Membership soon expanded, with more projects added and boys included.

Today club membership is not limited to East Middleboro residents. Anyone ages five to 18 may join.

The organization features a range of clubs, including baking, crafts, tractors, quilting and sewing, as well as those dedicated to raising and caring for animals, including chickens, rabbits, goats, horses, cows and even dogs and cats.

One of those members, Joseph Keeley, 16, explained that he likes doing the chores involved with caring for his goats, including sweeping and using the wheelbarrow.

He also is amused and amazed to watch the goats he raised go from newborn to adults. “They grow up so fast, just like people,’’ he said.

Rubie Janz, 2, enjoyed petting certain animals in particular. “I like the cows.’’

Eric Silvia, 13, befriended some of the geese on display. He has his own at home, he explained, and they are more than everyday farm animals.

“We let them sit on our laps.’’
