| Red, White and BlueSince the Fair is so close to the 4th of July this year, lots of things are decorated in red, white, and blue. I wonder if this gentleman remembers a wagon like that?
These were taken in the tent near all the tractors.
The red and white on the fenders is a reflection of the tent.
The white tent is the activities tent. A bluegrass band was playing inside. I took this picture especially for Firefighterswife. The shirts say Fire Rescue. I think they were enjoying the music. More fair pictures tomorrow.

| Can you believe........Our little County Fair has tigers this year! A lot of people think this is just great. I however, being a Grandma, worry that they might get out and eat my grandchildren.
They were napping when we saw them We didn't stay long enough to see the tiger show.
Now this is the kind of creature that belongs in a county fair. 5 yr. old grandson is awaiting his turn.....he's ready!
I think the chick is tickling his hands.
It cost $5. to ride the pony, but it was worth it to see her smile. (Spoken like a true grandma, ha!)
Grandson wanted to ride, but changed his mind after he saw the ponies were taller than he is, so we saved $5.
Grandpa met us there and enjoyed a turkey leg for lunch. We had a junk food lunch.......soft ice cream, cheesy fries, cotton candy, lemonade, and free candy from the merchants' tent. When we got home I gave them some cheese and hard-boiled eggs.
We saw a friend there, "Aunt Rosella", who lives at a nearby nursing home. Several people from the home got to go to the fair. I think that's so great that the staff and volunteers went to the trouble to take them. My dad would have loved that. Rosella was eating french fries and a tenderloin sandwich. She's not really our aunt, but she was a missionary nurse in Africa when we were there, and our kids grew up calling her aunt. She helped deliver this grandson's daddy.
Hubby and I plan to go back to the fair tonight to hear the Singing Auctioneer. He sings mostly Gospel songs.
We'll eat supper there. Hubby will probably have another turkey leg. Not sure what I'll have, but I might get an elephant ear for dessert. Don't worry, I'll share a little bit with him.....he's not supposed to eat sugar, so I'll have to eat most of it. Isn't that a shame?
