Our World - Frederick Fair

The Great Frederick Fair grounds are in the eastern side of the city. The fair exhibits are around a race track (rail in foreground) - food and exhibits to the left, large animals to the right, and the carnival rides and games across the track. The fair is a nine day event, with juried exhibits of agricultural, arts and crafts. (There are hundreds of photos entered). We spent the afternoon sampling a little of all the exhibits, but not taking any rides.

Food vendors continued to the right around the end of the race track. Lots of fried stuff, good barbeque (pork, beef and chicken), international selections and sweet stuff. (We had pork BBQ and fresh potato chips). 

This baby goat was born at the fair (he did get his head free from the fence). When we were there two cows and a sow were in labor.

PhotoHunt - Yellow gerber daisies

These yellow gerber daisies along a walk have done well this year and add a bright touch of color for people as they come down the hill toward our house.

Sky Watch - Chicken Little was right

The sky is falling, at least on Wednesday night, when 3 inches of rain fell. By morning the rain had stopped, but the creek flooded the low ground. By late morning the sky was brighter and the sun broke through the clouds. The rest of the day was cloudy but dry. (But the weather man is saying more rain Friday and Saturday,)
