It was a fair day……….
It was a fair day in the county…..a day for the county fair. This was a real county fair, in the middle of a farming area. The roosters were crowing in all their glory. The Flemish Giant rabbits were amazingly large and beautiful. The work horses gave their all pulling way over 9000 pounds while we were watching that event. There were all the usual foods, games, and rides. The little one in the family was unafraid on the kiddie rides. We didn’t buy the Lerch’s donuts this year….trying to be good. But we did have a dessert with lunch in the Grange Hall where we could get a real actual meal. We visited the buildings and tents with organizations handing out pamphlets. I stopped at the Union table and was told that there is a list in existence of products made in the USA…..somewhere out there. We stopped at the Vietnam Vets table, too, to say hello, look at the map, and welcome the man home. Had a bit of a conversation about who was stationed where… in that country… back then. It was a good day with family.
