Thursday, October 7th was our day for the fair. We’ve been going every year since we moved here back in 1981. Although it doesn’t change all that much except perhaps to get more expensive it’s still something we enjoy.
I love the flower barn. It’s such a peaceful place and inspires me to work in the yard. Maybe it would be more effective in the spring versus the fall.
One of the barns had a display of various fair memorabilia through the years. The sand sculpture is an annual event. I keep thinking one of these years I’ll put together all the photos we’ve taken of them, maybe next year.
The pumpkin barn houses various prize winning vegetables, fruits, pumpkin art and of course the great pumpkin which would give Charlie Brown nightmares. I didn’t realize Cortland apples, which are our favorite, had their roots in NY.
For me, the fair is all about the horses. Every year the Hallamore team comes to the fair. Their gentle beauty always puts me in awe. This year was a special treat in that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were there. We, me especially, enjoyed their performance. Here is a link to some fair videos online. Fair Snippets
Very impressive!
ReplyDeletethanks for the quick visit to the fair. Looks so much more interesting than out "Overblown" fair that is mostly about food and rides.
ReplyDeleteI love the big horses. My favorites are the Percherons. We go to the Penn. Farm Show almost every year to see them.
And the flower barn looks inspiring.
