On Columbus Day Greg and I went to the Topsfield Fair. We haven’t missed one yet since we’ve been here. This year was #30.
The great pumpkin weigh-off is an annual event. This big boy was the winner. They make up for in weight what they lack in beauty.
This was the first year there was a tiger show. They always have a petting zoo.
The above vegetable took first place and I’m sure it looked great at the time. We went the last day of the fair after there had been a warm stretch. Local scouting troops always decorate pumpkins. Looks like the candy corn quills couldn’t take the warm weather.
I think seeing the quilts got us both inspired for our Keepsake trip the next day.
What’s the fair without tractors?
One of the nice perks about going the last day is the sand sculpture is complete.
The flower barn is a peaceful oasis from the chaos of the fair.
The high point that we enjoyed was the demolition derby at the end of the day. It heralded an end of another fair.

On the way out we took this final sand castle shot at night.
