As promised... Fun at the Fair! Brandy and I went to the fair last week - exactly one week ago and since I never got my act in gear to write about it - here goes...
We saw lots of animals... started with the sheep and the pigs at the centennial farm - one of the pigs had piglets the day before the fair started - the piglets were very popular - the other momma pig that was pregnant didn’t seem to be so popular at the moment. Do you think they mate the pigs so they will have their piglets during the fair?
We then wandered over to the FFA and 4H animal area - and looked at more SHEEP - these are the sheep that get judged in the competitions - they were doing a sheep competition while we were there and the sheep were looking pretty sharp - some of them even had coverings to keep them clean (either that or they were smoking jackets). Brandy wondered why the kids that are showing their animals wear white pants - doesn’t seem like the best color for someone that works with farm animals. Was disappointed, though, that they didn’t have the baby animal barn - the fair just didn’t seem to have as much as it used to. We also saw cattle and a camel - since when is the camel a farm animal? And we really saw something really scary over in the animal area - but you will have to look at the pictures to see it - it’s more of a visual thing.
We then wandered around looking for the youth exhibit - Brandy’s step daughter entered an apron in the fair and won a 2nd place ribbon! Saw Deanna’s cooking goodies - a third and first place ribbon. Even in the home arts area - just didn’t seem like as many people had entered stuff. And the table decorating judging - not a lot of consistency from year to year - but there were some things we were in agreement on with the judges - even before looking at the comments.
We topped the evening off with the tradition of walking through the midway - they don’t accept money at the game booths anymore - you have to buy tickets - so we just wandered and looked - watched a couple of the rides.
Unfortunately, we decided to leave at the same time the Tom Jones concert was letting out - What’s new, pussycat?! That was a bit of a nightmare - trying to get out of the parking lot! But all in all - it was a good evening - how could it not be with such wonderful company! Check out the pictures here...

KILLING me with the picture of 'Scary'. I also enjoyed the festive smoking jacket. He must have been ready for quite an evening with 'the ladies'. I am enjoying beng your stalker and knowing that I am being stalked too keeps me on my toes for making sure I do posts. Where are those photos of the window that you and Teri have been working on at the church??
I popped over to the Picasa site to see the pictures; I found it ironic that there was a "Report inappropriate content" link on the page -- wonder if they can do anything about Scary!'s outfit choice?
I too had a great time espeically after such a lousy day that day. Thank you my other pea.
P.S. We should have had someone take a picture of the back of our heads. :-)
