County Fair

August 29, 2007 By Carole

Can I milk another blog post out of my weekend? Of course I can, because the other thing I did over the weekend (Thursday night is the weekend, right?) was go to the Marshfield Fair.

We all just love the Marshfield Fair because there’s something for everyone.

Hannah_Gianna_pumpkin.jpg
There are giant pumpkins. That’s Hannah and her friend, Gianna, posing so graciously.

corn_canoe.jpg
And crazy vegetable creations. This corn and cucumber canoe was really clever. Aren’t the asparagus oars the coolest?

demo_derby.jpg
There’s a demolition derby and that’s my favorite part of the fair. Well, that and the beer, but they sort of go hand in hand, don’t you think?

Dale_model_train.jpg
There are model trains. I think Dale would still be standing there watching the train go ’round if I hadn’t enticed him away with promises of more beer.

There are even things for my blog friends.

pig_scratch.jpg
Swine for Ann.

cows_asswatch.jpg
And an AssWatch of a different sort for Dave.

Come back tomorrow and I’ll show you the one other teensytinylittle thing I did last weekend.

    I love me a good fair. Looks like yours was fun! The corn and cucumber canoe is a hoot! Great choice for the oars.

    Hannah and Gianna sounds like a new fall lineup! And probably better than many we’ll see;) I’m also imagining a pumpkin pie of great magnitutde!
    You sure know how to spend a Thursday! Cow butts, ~snort~ I think Dave has us all noticing “behind” the scenes now 😉

    Wow… you got teenagers to pose for a photo?? ha ha ha. I, too, like the demo derby. We go to the Topsfield Fair each year and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the racing pigs. We sit and wait for the racing pigs. It’s over in like a minute, but I love them. And the pulling teams (horses).

    And, tell Dale that Dan would be right next to him, watching the trains go ’round for days… Must be a guy thing.

    Add Smith as a train watcher. Sounds like a great night.

    Ooh, i love demolition derbies! That’s my favorite part too.

    LOL…the last picture is a hoot! I love the demolition derby…and beeerrr!
    The girls really give the melon a sense of dimension, who’s gonna eat it?

    I’m thinking the teensylittlething may involve another wheel?

    Country Fairs are always so much fun! I haven’t been to Marshfield in years.

    Hmmm……….I can’t wait to see what this teensy little thing is….

    he’s a cutie Carole! I wonder if he’s some kind of fancy pig with those rounded ears and his tan color? thanks for thinking of me!

  11. elizabeth says

    August 29, 2007 at 9:37 am

    Why do I get the feeling that the “teensy little” thing is actually totally huge?

  12. Molly says

    August 29, 2007 at 9:45 am

    Um, does that canoe look really, really dirty to anyone else? No? Just me? All right then.

  13. Kelly says

    August 29, 2007 at 9:50 am

    The fair looks like fun!

  14. Beth S. says

    “I know what you did last weekend”… ha! 😉

    And that’s Some Pig! 😉

  15. Dave Daniels says

    August 29, 2007 at 10:09 am

    Yeah….no. For AW, there is a strict NO NUDITY rule. He’ll have to put on his pants. Or a Speedo at the very least.

  16. Amy says

    August 29, 2007 at 10:18 am

    No, I don’t think you should ever milk anything for a blog post. God knows I never do. Live up to my example, please. 😉

    I love a good fair. The Spencer Fair always had a demolition derby and that was my favorite part as well.

    Hey, I dragged out our county fair for nearly a week’s worth of blog posts — I say, go for it! 🙂

    Boys and toy trains. It’s a genetic thing. My Smokey would be there for hours.

  19. Birdsong says

    August 29, 2007 at 10:51 am

    Great photos! I love going to the fair too … for many of the same reasons.

  20. Karen says

    August 29, 2007 at 10:53 am

    There is nothing like a trip to the fair! Glad you all had a great time.

  21. Cookie says

    August 29, 2007 at 11:52 am

    Of course, it counts! I love that you can get almost a week’s worth of blogging out of a weekend.

    Sounds like a wonderful way to spend a day.

  22. Kristi aka Fiber Fool says

    August 29, 2007 at 12:13 pm

    LOL! Love the ass watch!

  23. Teresa says

    August 29, 2007 at 1:11 pm

    The cucumber boat looks neat! I used to live in a small town and we would have fair days like this…now..*sighs*..I live in a huge city and there’s no “home town” feeling anymore. I looked like it was fun though! I love fairs for the food myself :D.

  24. Lucia says

    August 29, 2007 at 4:24 pm

    It all looks like great fun, but AW takes the cake. That Dave is quick on his feet, though.

  25. JessaLu says

    August 29, 2007 at 4:36 pm

    There’s nothing like the county fair when it comes to decorative vegetables :o) Looks like fun!

    You so did not do anything teensy or little. Spill it, lady 🙂

    So the first time I got a good look at the back side of a cow was at the NYS fair- a huge affair. O-M-G said I.
