This past Saturday we went to the county fair. It was all free - parking and admission. It was definitely a different experience than the
Tanana Valley State Fair that we're used to. It's held indoors at the Expo Center (the convention center here) and had a few vendors, lots of animals and all the judged exhibits (cookies, cakes, jams, flowers, veggies, art work, etc.). Then there was a big barn full of super huge cows, horses, pigs and goats. The only thing missing were the politicians, games, fair food and rides. The girls had a great time in the petting zoo and seeing all the caged animals.
Before we went into the petting zoo, I had Abigail leave her swimsuit (she carries it everywhere - see an earlier post about that one) in the stroller. She enjoyed the animals for a bit, then ran out of the zoo and ran right back in...with her swimsuit. She had NO fear when petting the animals with her "security blanket".
Had to get a picture of the only prized cabbage. Coming from Alaska, this thing was just a baby.
Oh yes, and there were a group of scarecrows...another judged exhibit. Something we
wouldn't find at the TVSF :)
