Local Fairs

We have lots of local fairs here. One of the bigger ones occurs on the weekend before Labor Day Weekend. There were : 










sheep, both wooly and shorn; 



cattle of many varieties, lots of kids taking good care of their animals; 



some huge oxen including some massive white ones (Charlais ?) standing well over 6 feet high at the shoulder and weighing well over a ton; 






and a midway full of rides and serving such healthful foods as deep fried Snickers. 


There was a nice assortment of tractors and old engines, but I don't have any pictures of these.
