The initial highlight of the trip was the wide variety of farm machinery on display. After 45 minutes of touring the entire John Deere display, we finally pulled JGray away kicking and screaming.
We walked around and saw all of the animal exhibits. Everything from sheep, cows, and horses to rabbits, chicken and geese. Mommy was very glad that she (1) remembered to bring her Purell with her and (2) the State Fair provides hand washing after each exhibit. Mommy was also very glad that J Gray takes a bath before bed every night.
Above all the greatest exhibit was the Swine (for some reason they call Pigs, Swine, at the State Fair). I initially felt bad about the sign on this cage... but then I had visions of bacon, pork chops, ham and Scrapple.
If you were to ask John Grayson about his favorite part of the fair, I think he'd say "strawberry milkshake." Yes, a milkshake. Next year, I think we'll go to Dairy Queen instead and save Mommy from stressing about all of the germs and crowds.
