Our state fair is going on this week, we went on Wednesday. The big celebration was the 100th year of the butter cow. Whoo Hoo. There's quite a history and you can read all about it here, if you're interested...
We saw all kinds of interesting and fun stuff...
Randy and LAD road the Crazy Mouse. LAD was just barely tall enough to ride.
There were lots of little concrete cows scattered all around. Painted and decorated up in many different themes. LAD took this photo.
Maybe one of my favorite photos of the day.
This years butter cow tribute to Duffy Lyons, who sadly passed away this year.
View from the gondola ride up the hill...
Sand sculpture in the Cultural center...This was awesome!
Click on the photo to bigify it. LAD was fascinated with the cotton candy this year. He was also very disappointed we missed the horses, they had all left the day before. He was actually in tears that we didn't get to see a horse show...guess i had better plan better next year...
We made our traditional visit to the spin art guys, always a hit. And found a bumper boat ride.
Note to self, do not park near the gate near the carnival entrance next time.
