Day at the Fair

"Handyman" Biglefti tearing apart Preston's Weed Eater.

Pat and Karen are cheering him on.

This weed eater is getting serious.  Preston is hoping for the best

Two elephants were giving rides at the Fair.  Talk about "Thunder thighs"

Been a long time since we've been to the Fair.  It's much smaller than in the "Good Old Days", but still a lot of fun

Looks a little like our Mexican Swap meet, but the prices are a lot higher

Our group heading for the Food Court

All the normal Fair Food Vendors were available

Karen,  Pat, and a friend we met Square Dancing.  Cathy is a line dance instructor, and is in training to be a Round Dance Cuer.

Booth for the Sets in Order.  It's a Square Dance Club we used to dance with.

At least 50 some beautiful quilts were on display.  I'll only post 2 pics,  my favorites.

Love the colors in this one

The band stand and entertainment center taken from an up stairs display area

Many Flowers, Vegetables, etc.  I won't post those, but this rose was growing in  the grounds area, it's just beautiful.

One pint Kerr jar melted on to a stand.  Redneck Wine Glass...The topic is "Wine and Roses"

The Motorcycle  Related part:  Every year the Retreads have a 3 day campout here here in this area.  Lots of food, and  some good entertainment.  We attended them for years, but will miss out on it not that we're located farther South.

A Memorial Goat must be some kind of breed I haven't heard of.

This ladyis spinning Angora yarn from this pretty bunny.  A renewable resource.  Check out her shoes.

MANY sizes,  shapes, and colors of chickens.

A cute couple.

Coleeta Quigley.  We took our first square dance lessons with her and her husband Chuck back in 1998.  She has gone on to be a Caller.

They had 3 squares doing demo dances to promote lessons that will start in the Fall.  It was nice to see some old friends.

Before we left, Pat had to have ice cream at the Purple Cow.  Lanny had enticed her with his large cone.  Lanny is getting ready to head on on his bike, inland, to Bend, OR.  We had a good day! 

Left overs.  Was too hungry to think of a picture of the whole meal. :-)  Pat's son Gary, gave us a large batch of fresh Salmon, just caught a couple days ago.  Sliced  up a long fillet, seasoned, dredged in flour, dipped in egg, then covered with Panko crumbs.  A very quick fry in deep oil.  Deeeelicious!
