If there is a fall fair near you, I highly recommend you go. It’s outdoors, so safer from Covid, the weather could turn to autumn at any time but right now it’s probably not as hot as it was, the animal pens are so much fun. And the food! Elephant ears, anyone? Plus handicrafts everywhere.
We went to the Saanich Fair on Vancouver Island yesterday. It is one of the longest running fairs, dating back 154 years. The local farmers all participate– draught horses, cows, llamas, goats, sheep, poultry of every kind from tiny quail to large crowing roosters! It was quite a sight.
There were thousands of people. The rides ranged from a giant swing that would probably make me puke if I went on it, to cute bumper cars and ‘the sizzler’- seats that twirl round and round as they swing by. The craft tables hosted a lot of handmade shawls and scarves of angora. Some of that wool was so soft, you couldn’t even tell you were touching it.
Lots of fun. What fair do you go to? The summer isn’t officially over until you’ve been to the local fair!
I went yesterday. And my feet still hurt. 🤣 so much walking.
I know the feeling. Actually it is my back that is sore today, but it was worth it. So much fun!
Love your site with all the wonderful writing and photos!
I didn’t go a fall fair this year. Wanted to, but sometimes life gets in the way. But now, I’m enjoying the leaves changing colors! 🙂
I know, isn’t it pretty? It even got a bit chilly for a while. I think summer is over. 🙂
