At the county fair

Where we lived before coming to Florida the county fairs were always held in the summer, but here in Manatee county the fair is in January because the summers are so brutally hot. Like all county fairs everywhere there are the exhibits and competition, livestock, arts and crafts etc. including some very fine photography.

and there is the food, including deep fried everything

and the games


and the rides that seem to get more stomach churning





there was this guy that sang and danced and all the little kids were in awe of

and the livestock


and there was even pig races


and there were these folks
