We're Goin' to the Fair, Fair, Fair

We were early birds, thanks to Annie getting the gang going Saturday morning. She had been out at garage sales and stopped by with donuts to pry Caitlin and I out of bed. We all piled into the Pilot and headed for the Chelan County Fair. The fair grounds are about five minutes away from their house. We had a great parking spot on this man's lawn...$2 for the day! I had to take a photo of the easy chairs out under the plum tree.


They were having a parking war on this street...I was headed into the $3 yard until "Eagle Eye Annie" spotted this spot.
We headed in to my first fair!
The girls let me wear Oliver!
Brooke and Kent loved the farm equipment - she sat and "drove" just about every one on display.

Chickens of all sorts...

Goats that were treated just like pet dogs...
Heading down the goat aisle.
An auction was being called - here a 4 H-er was showing a goat during the bidding.

It seemed that the hogs all came in pairs...I thought this was priceless and had Annie snap this photo! I learned that some farmers notch the ears for identification. Some of the poor pigs had ruffled ears!

Walking behind a food concessions I spotted this table of older gents shucking corn and shooting the breeze. This photo doesn't show much, but they were priceless!
 After some time in the Ergo Front Pack Oliver lazed in the stroller...not a fussy peep out of him all day!
