We went to a bigger and better fair this past Saturday! The Dutchess County Fair to be precise.
That’s KLS with a prized turkey. It was for sale!
We saw many, many animals, such as this lovely duck…
A baby kangaroo…
And even camels!
The animals were all quite friendly, with the exception of a savage fowl that big my finger! Here’s the criminal:
If she wasn’t so cute I would have roasted her!
Speaking of food, I’ll shamefully admit I ate a gyro and a plate of fries at 10:30…
And then only a couple of hours later had a ‘Pluto pup’ (to use the Oz vernacular):
Don’t let those smiles fool you, because not ten minutes later I looked like this:
KLS enjoyed her Greek vegetarian platter, even though she could hardly eat it all!
Of course we saw the other fair attractions, such as the produce and flowers and farm equipment and – one of my favourites – the art!
This ‘painting’ made of flowers and plants was extremely impressive:
But you all know what I wanted to see most don’t you? Yes, the rides!
Sadly my gluttony had ruined me and I was too green to consider riding any…
This didn’t stop me admiring them just long enough to bore KLS! This one in particular I’d never seen before and was quite taken with:
Unusually (for us) we made quite a lot of purchases at the fair. But those are mostly Christmas gifts and will remain secret 😉
It was a fun day, and a good end to the summer!
I love the horse art.
