State Fair!

Hubby and I went to the State Fair yesterday. Seniors are always admitted free on the last day!


The day was absolutely perfect!



It's only a 10 minute ride from Coopville and there was plenty of parking when we arrived at 10AM:



The rides were just getting set up for the day:





There were no crowds yet and it was easy to walk around ( but that didn't last!) 


An antique peanut roasting machine:


Lots and lots of old machines:




Kids could practice "milking" this cow - when they pulled on the utters, it mooed!


So true......




B.A.C.O.N.



This was cute - push a button and the chickens would sing:


Unfortunately, most of the livestock went home Saturday night.  :o(



Real, live feather dusters:



A steam train - made by hand:













Beautiful quilts:



Starting to get crowded:


A cute kiddie ride:


Trick riding:




We spent three hours walking around and visiting all the exhibits. And we had a good time, too!




:o)

  2. Trains and chickens - what else do you need? Maybe an ostrich to keep Charlie in line.

    1. It sure was a LOT of walking, Gorges! I was exhausted after only a couple of hours!

  4. Looks like a great day! Always fun when the fair comes to town. I am glad my son is tall enough for all the rides now, which makes it more fun!!

    1. Used to love to bring our grandson when he was little! His eyes would just light up at all the lights, food and rides!
