Our Local Fair

This afternoon we went to our local county fair. I have never been to this particular fair before. It is small, but just the right size for Tuki and her age. She went on 4 rides, walked through the animal barns twice, she loved the cows the best. I of course loved the chickens best. If we lived in the country I would have bantam chickens, just like I did when I was growing up. We also ate fried cheese curds and had a malted milk shake. I wanted her to taste real "fair food".

She loved the day. We were informed that she is the youngest to have ever gone on the "motorcycle go around", and she went on it three times. Laughing and smiling and honking the horn, as she went round and round.

She was also fascinated by the tractors and plows. I think I may have a farm kid. I knew several people at the fair from FFA, Future Farmers of America, and the leaders told me that they haven't seen a child her age be so fearless with animals before. With my assistance she would walk up to the calves, and heifers lying down and pet their flanks, attempt to pet the turkeys, rabbits (I didn't let her get close to the rabbits teeth), goats and sheep. It was fun to watch because it brought back many wonderful childhood memories.

The only problem is that I forgot to bring the camera........oh well remember my earlier post on forgetting...enough said.
