First Official Fair Day Today............

and I started out by taking pictures of the M&M Milkshakers area of the dairy barn. Looked pretty good to me and there is an award for the "Best Decorated"; but, won't know who won that until tomorrow.......or maybe Friday. Anyway, Tami gets thumbs up for all her hard work making up the decorations.............I'm sure she didn't get much help in making them.




Took some more pics of the kids working before the masses arrived. We were still at the M/H this morning and we get a phone call......or text or something........ asking us to get an inner tube for one of the wheel barrows. Seems that they came up with a flat somehow or other. We got the tube and Dug fixed the tire before things really got busy.


Becky and I took a little break at 1400 to watch the Truck and Tractor pull preliminaries. They were kinda of interesting and some old fart who was 75 drove the tractor in pic #3. I think he was the crowd favorite. The big multi engined tractors were a sight to watch and they completely overpowered the short track..........and they left us about half deaf. Fun to watch.




The restrooms in the Exhibition building are kept pretty clean........think they are the best kept secret at the fair! About 1800 we went to watch a K-9 show...........all German Shepherds. One came out wearing sun glasses and they put on quite a demostration of attacking crooks and finding drugs. Also fun to watch.



The kids got in a little bit of practice before they put the cows to bed for the night. It was about 2030 before we left the fair...........after having a deli sandwich. Also managed to get in our milkshakes, baked potatoes and other junk food. Will do it all again tomorrow! W&B
