Pinal County 4-H Fair

First ever official +55 discount!! Yeah, we went to the fair today and admission was half price. Whoo hoo! The fair showcased the accomplishments of area 4 - H clubs.  Man there are many talented kids around.

Of course, no country fair is complete without amusement rides.  I don't do rides but like to watch.  Lots of classic rides like the Ferris Wheel, bumper cars, haunted house, super slide etc.

The ever popular Zipper
We toured the livestock barns. There were goats, sheep, cows, pigs and rabbits. No horses though. Don't know why. We've seen some horses as we wander the back roads. Today the competitions seemed to focus on shearing sheep and showing goats.

No, no I won't go!
No fair is complete without junk food. We had delicious Italian sausages with sauteed onions, peppers, tomato and basil.  Fantastic.  There were lots of stands selling corn dogs, fries, funnel cakes and all manner of fried food.  We passed those up.

Not sure what adventures tomorrow will bring.  Maybe just laundry.  Not every day is a holiday, but every day life is good.
