Fair
It had been a long time since Megan and I went to the County Fair. Too long. We finally rectified this matter on a beautiful fall afternoon. I tried and failed to leave work early, but that did not deter us from heading Fairwards. Megan found one of her secret parking spots. The parking goddess usually smiles on Megan (I think it’s the country version of her uncanny city ability to get a cab anywhere, and in every weather), except when she frowns. Then she really scowls.
Fortunately, both the parking goddess and we were in good moods. It was so great to see the Fair signs stretching across the highway:
There wasn’t even a line to get in:
Our first stop was Gowan’s cider stand, where we each got a cup of cider to inspire us as we strolled around. Our first stop was the animals, where I admired the adorable bunnies:
and the fancy chickens:
The biggest pumpkin was not that big this year:
Maybe it was the drought and the water restrictions not allowing it to grow to epic proportions. It’s still pretty big, though.
This was my favorite garden exhibit:
We stayed late enough for the lights to come on, making the Fair look even more magical:
It was a really wonderful afternoon and evening.
A YEAR AGO: Oh, deer.
FIVE YEARS AGO: More message boards fun.
TWENTY YEARS AGO: The secret lives of mailmen.
