About a month ago, I went to the St. Joseph's County fair -- an activity that might have left me feeling very American, but the experience was so foreign that it was quite the opposite.
Here's a pig.
Here's a cow... (or dairy beef, to be politically correct)
Here is the judging of the heifers!
Here are some dog's for adoption. None of them seem as cool as Grant.
At the pony-barrel-races they had to occasionally smooth over the surface with this country equivalent to a Zamboni.
Well, that was technically just a tractor with an attachment, but they also had some cool vintage tractors. This is my friend Q sitting on one of the vintage tractors before we saw the "do not sit on the tractor" signs (yes... signs, multiple).
I even managed to find some rare books for sale!
So, there you have it. I'm not really sure what the takeaway from the experience was supposed to be, but I got two books that were about 200 years old.
