One of the great things about visiting Indiana in August is attending the State Fair and having fun with our family there . . . not to mention all of the good food. A week ago yesterday we went to the Fair with our daughter and granddaughter. Here are a few photos of the fun we had.
In front of the Pork Tent and by some of the corn planted all over the fairgrounds. It was "the year of popcorn" and there was lots of corn planted everywhere - and plenty of popcorn, free and for sale.
Making pork crackles in the old fashioned village. Much to our dismay, we forgot to go back and get some when they were done.
Entering the swine shrine. After all, pork is king.
And here is the big daddy himself - the biggest boar.
There was a great looking dinosaur that walked around and gave photo shoots to folks who could pursuade their kids to get near it.
There were also lots of farm equipment, old and new. I always like to watch the demonstration of how the old equipment was used. The tractor did it all. As you can see there is a belt attached to a tractor in the background. As I walked by it was attached to a buzz saw and they were cutting boards. It was fun to watch, but not as fun as eating all the good food: corn dogs, giant Amish donuts, snow cones, ice cream, cinnamon almonds, and popcorn, popcorn and more popcorn. And what a joy to hang out with our family.
