Scenes From the County Fair

This time, the scenes come from the county fair of my youth...the Shiawassee County Fair. I used to ride my bike there when I was 12-13 years old. Using my math skills...I am now 66...and 66 minus 13 is 53. IT WAS AT LEAST 53 YEARS AGO WHEN I WENT TO THIS FAIR! Probably more 53 years.

This time, (instead of being a teenager) I went as a senior. Free admission, and a free lunch. Hot dog, potato salad, bag of chips, water, and a sugar cookie. WOO-HOO!

Again, I like seeing the youngsters working with their animals. I got lucky today since there were plenty of horse competitions. Most participants did really well, except for the poor miniature horse in the middle. There were six jumps that he was supposed to make, and he made zero of them...didn't even make an attempt. I felt bad for his handler, and I hate to admit it...but it also made me smile...qualifying it for Happy Hump Day...run by Laurie54.

As for the thumbnail? Give it up for some blue ribbon ears of corn.
