County Fair Update
September 7th, 2009Our trip to the fair was fun. Leavi felt better after a 3 hr nap and the storms made a parting in the sky for the fairgrounds. It rained all around us! We opted out on the Demolition Derby because we got such a late start. I got a few pics with my camera when the full battery died… time to go buy another. The boys took off with their friends and, for the first time, I went wandering by myself. I have always enjoyed watching people and found lots of entertainment!
The Tall Man was very colorful~

I followed this little number around for a while

Then I stopped to watch the Magic Show~

I went to check on the Little Man while he was waiting in line for a ride..

Went off of my diet for a Philly Cheese (oooH it was sooo GOOD!) and an ice cream. While I ate my ice cream, I was entertained by this guy~

But I think my favorite part was the 4-H Livestock Auction. I had many friends from “home” who were there to sell their projects -- chickens, rabbits, a turkey, cattle and pigs. This was the Grand Champion steer. His size put my Arabian to shame!! Sorry for the lousy shot -- I only had one chance to get this.

The auctioneer man was VERY entertaining -- you will need sound ~on~ for this.. again, sorry for the video quality -- it was my phone… but I really wanted to share the audio part.
I could have stayed until closing but I had to get home and feed the critters that I own!

Great re-cap, A! I’d like to link to that picture of the stiltwalker, since I mentioned him in my Friday post. Not sure I know how, though. I’m glad the clouds cleared for y’all and that you got to take in the auction. That’s always fun!
