This weekend was our annual town fair. It's an event we've enjoyed going to ever since moving to this town. Thursday night is fireworks - but those were cancelled this year because we are in a Triple E mosquito lock-down (after dark activities are strongly discouraged). Then the fair runs Friday night through dinner on Sunday, with a parade Saturday morning.
The fair offers rides, local vendors (our friends Tom and Kathy sell the best honey and kettle corn), local clubs (all hosting kid games for charity), 4H exhibits, food, agricultural, food and craft competitions. They changed the way the kids exhibits are judged (now done on the danish system; whatever that means and how it compares to how things were judged before) - but Ray still won plenty of blue, red and white ribbons for his photography and crafts - and yours truly placed in 2nd for her chocolate chip cookies.
Ha-ha!! I knew I was a good baker.

So - you know what happens when your kid gets to be 36" tall? They get to go on the kiddie rides ALONE!!! Yeah, that wasn't happening but I did let him go with his big brother.
I spent the entire ride chasing their cart around yelling "Hold onto your brother!!". Yes, the dragons "flew" in the air.
