CA, And TWO nights of back to back demolition derbies :) I suspect there will be a LOT of scrap metal after those events!

Cindy, ALL the classic elements of a typical country fair here!

Andy, Those horses are nicely decked out :)

Hi Liz & Bill - Country fairs are so American in their presentation. It is refreshing to go back to the "earthy stuff". Demolition derby's appeal to our sense of adventure. Enjoy.

Anita, Then you'd love this one! I'm betting a wide variety of deep fried treats available at this one :)

Many folks know no more of a county fair than the sign on the road that says "County Fairgrounds".

County fairs across the country are a major event, especially for 4H youngsters.

Lenn, Used to go to them regularly growing up in Louisiana, and same thing there. The livestock competitions for the 4-H kids is tremendous. We're a nice mix of suburban and rural here, so plenty of serious farming going on here that fuels the entries.

Bliz, sounds like a week full of fun. I'd have a hard time decicing which day to go. Maybe that weeklong pass is not such a bad idea afterall!

It looks like it's going to be a blast. I like how you keep the community informed. How do you get all of the pretty pictures in your blog?

Leah, That weeklong pass definitely might be the option for those interested in all the contests and specialty events!

Janet, Judi Barrett mentioned a free photo site called www.morguefile.com that is populated with tons of great photos.

Hi Liz and Bill! I love small town county fairs! I miss the one in Newton, Kansas (Harvey County) where I grew up. Your post takes me home!

Cari, I think a county fair is probably much the same for all of us, maybe just a little variety in the livestock types is all! Used to go a ton as a kid :)
