I don't see how anyone can't love the fair! Getting out and enjoying the great summer weather, excellent people watching. I cruise through the barns looking at critters, something funny usually happens, a pig goes off, a goat eats something, a rabbit gets loose, something. Beautiful horses, unusual stuff. There are crafts and art to look at, tons of junk food. Everyone is in a good mood. Flowers, they pump 'em up with nitrogen to make 'em bloom just in time for the fair. I really enjoy spending a couple hours at county fairs, and most of a day at Columbus.

I like steam tractors and tractor and truck pulls, too. Especially the big vintage farm equipment events. I love looking at that old stuff, and watching it run. And, every little town here has a festival some time in the summer, the strawberry festival in Troy is big. New Straitsville, I think it is, has a moonshine festival. Old car shows, stuff like that, what do ya'll do to enjoy the summer?
