44. So, I went to the Fair

It was held indoors! In a convention hall. They hauled in 8 inches of dirt to form an arena for the animal judging, and a fountain full of trout to fish, and stalls for the livestock...including the Belgians, Percherons and Clydesdales. They had the Clydesdales in a troika pulling a snazzy green wagon around the area.

It was rather surreal.

And the air conditioning is keeping it all cool, while there are large doors open on two sides--one to the animal trailers, the other to the circus, midway, and all that.

It sure wasn't like the State Fair I remember as a very young kid.

In any event, I am wiped. It wasn't horribly hot, like yesterday, but very sunny. There were a lot of people there. The Polish chickens were adorable as ever....and I don't say that just because I am Polish, too....
