The County Fair

Both Henry and Nora had entries in the fair this year which made our visit that much more exciting. The Fine Arts building was our first stop. Here is Henry with his picture of a rocket headed to the moon. Nora and her goldfinches. Grace and Ian had artwork entered too and Ian won Best of Show and the People's Choice awards for his picture! Yay!
Next we toured the animal barns. There were ducks, chickens, rabbits, goats, and sheep to pet and admire. There was a magnificent white turkey that was a favorite.
We saw Henry's Lego models and eventually found Nora's peppermint patties hiding under the Best of Show ribbon! There was a BBQ cook-off that day and we sampled a few of the entries. We had lunch and then had snow cones for a treat while we watched some mutton busting. This picture makes me laugh. I'm not sure what has earned Nora's disapproval. It was a great morning with our friends!
