It is 4-H Fair week in Tipton County. Yesterday afternoon was gorgeous, so we went to the fair! For years, I have told kids who were whining that "It's not fair!" that "fair" is where the kids go to show their pigs. And it is true-- pigs and so much more.
In her considered opinion, to go to the fair and not have an elephant ear would just not be fair!
We saw some fowl.
This lad's bird was being judged. I think he did not like everything he heard. But I really liked his shirt!
We saw lots of rabbits.
A barnful of swine.
Some sheep
and some goats.
Some bovine critters
and a departing shot for Lin. She'll get it.
A number of the kids showing their livestock were children of kids I taught when they were in junior high. I got to visit with some of those former students. I was also collared by a local and introduced to my Congresswoman. She has a winning smile and a firm handshake.
The Fair runs through Wednesday, July 17.
