Lauren received a blue ribbon for her Ada art! And so did Sam for his oil pastel drawing of a lighthouse. The reflection in the water is pretty cool, but you can't see it in this photo.
The fire department had relay races and gave out prizes. Even Jonas participated.
Quinn and Jonas both did some mutton bustin' (riding sheep for you city folk). Jonas fell off before I could even snap a picture, but Quinn got a pretty good ride.
Then the pony rides....
Sam was in heaven when he found out there was a juggler/entertainer performing. During the afternoon the juggler was teaching kids how to juggle. He was getting pretty good and I caught some on video.
What would the fair be like without the carnival rides? Or the funnel cakes? (that I forgot to take a picture of)
I don't remember ever going to a county fair when I was a kid, but this is an Earnest family tradition that I intend to continue with our own kids. I draw the line at raising pigs, though.
