A day at the fair

Our county fair started on Saturday. We were there Saturday for Emily to do dairy judging with FFA, we were there Monday for the marching band to play and to watch the county tractor pull, and Emily talked me into going back today...and taking two of her friends along with us. It ended up being a nice enough afternoon, but I'm happy to say the fair is over for me until next year! I'm all faired out! LOL  

Here are two long horned steers that we saw. The picture doesn't do them justice...they're huge!



We also sat and watched some of the harness racing. This picture was taken later while we were standing along the back fence.


And most every year I've taken a picture of the kids on a tractor. Brian wasn't with us today, but Emily was happy to get up on one of the bigger tractors for a picture. After this her friend got up with her. They're both into tractors and pickup trucks! LOL

Dad wants to know where the long horns were located? He missed them.

She looks good on a tractor.

Wow those horns look lethal, don't they? We have harness racing here, my cousin has always had a horse there. Years and years now! He's done really well. Emily looks great on a tractor! That looks like it would be fun to drive!

Sounds like fun. Those huge horns look scary.

No wonder they have such strong necks, those horns are huge!

Hello Terry,

Looks a whole heap of fun. Glad to see the cows in a stall, would hate to be too close to them.

Happy days.

Did a new tractor come home???

So neat. Huge. I've never seen cattle like that before. Harness racing. Now that's the height of cool. Dig that. I have to say though, the tractor picture makes me smile. I just love that.

Cute pic of Em on the tractor! Our County Fair begins tonight. Not sure if we will try to go Sat or not. Depends on my knee and the weather! We love to look at the ribbon food, crafts and animals.

Oh My! Something is NEW over here!! You've done some re-arranging/painting and put up some new wall paper!! I.LIKE. It inspires me to do some 'bloggy' housekeeping too!

I LOVE going to the fair. Our county fair will not be until later in the month!!
