Three-County Fair

Kelly and I went to the Three-County Fair a couple of weeks ago. It’s a small fair, compared to the neighboring Big E, but it had all the delights, like fresh lemonade, homemade ice cream, and show animals. My favorites were the bantam chickens, who are just very tiny chickens. Some strange selective breeding decisions have led them to look exactly like chickens hit with a miniaturizing ray. They were, of course, the loudest in the barn.

We also toured the craft award winner showcase, featuring lovely quilts and photographs and 4-H display boards, and found this delightful award-winning bun. It was my favorite thing.
