Dutchess County Fair 2012
Sarah seemed to have a tolerably good time at the Dutchess County Fair this year. We missed the fair last year because of a hurricane, but Sarah nevertheless won a blue ribbon. This year, Sarah went twice, on Friday and Saturday.
There were no ribbons for us this year, blue or otherwise. Jen’s blackberry jam was disqualified because it didn’t have a dated label.
And my hay (lower right) failed on the basis of general paltryness.
Still, we saw plenty of animals, such as this goat…
… and these newly hatched chicks …
… and Turk, one of the 4H Club’s Gentle Giants, whom Sarah knew from horse camp this summer at Southlands. Sarah was amazed to hear that we have another connection to Turk: we sell the Gentle Giants some hay.
There were also lots of rides.
This one might be Sarah’s favorite: she went twice on Friday and again on Saturday.
And here’s my favorite: bumper cars!
One response so far
There’s still time to turn the indoor dressage building into a bumper car ride. But what would you do with the hay wagon?
