I just got back from MY time at the county fair. My daughter and I took the grandkids the other night. Of course they enjoy themselves, but forget about looking at what is the essence of the fair. They just want to eat and ride.

So, today, I went alone and had a marvelous leisurely time. I enjoy the exhibits of quilts, wood working, canned goods and especially the young 4-H's work. I took in a livestock judging of children showing their cattle. Oh boy, I am always afraid that one of those big bulls is going to get away from the little person leading him around. There was also a washer tossing contest going on. I guess yall don't know what that is, huh? LOL

I had a few beers, a catfish dinner from the Methodist stand, a huge dill pickle on a stick, a funnel cake and I brought home a candy apple.

Saturday is the last day of the fair and I'm going to take the grandkids out to watch the small animal dress-up contest. It is so cute. Some of the exhibit chickens, rabbits, geese and such are dressed in costumes by the kids and paraded around. It is total chaos. LOL

I'm so glad I live in a rural area.

Our county fair started last night and goes through Saturday. I kinda want to go, but then I don't. It's just not the same without kids.
