Kosciusko County Fair

We have a break in the weather pattern with no rain and low humidity today. Just in time for Senior Day at the Kosciusko County Fair. We missed the free breakfast, but we enjoyed the free ice cream and cookie this afternoon. We have not attended the fair in several years.

We walked thru the sheep barn, goat barn, cattle barn, swine barn, and horse stables. Judging of equestrian events was taking place in the arena. No poultry was allowed to be exhibited this year since a virus has decimated chickens in the Midwest and authorities didn’t want any risk of exposure and spread.

This young man doesn’t seem very happy with his 1st place ribbon; I guess he wanted Grand Champion?

We arrived shortly after 11 a.m.; some of the booths were not yet open. The midway only opens late afternoon into evening.



After eating a pork chop sandwich for lunch, we perused the craft and cooking displays. Then we moved over to the vintage tractors/trucks. Being a rural county, there were lots of those. 





Then off to the big white tent hosting the ice cream social for seniors. We saw a group from Grace Village there, residents of health care and assisted living with aides and volunteers.


Before leaving the fair, we stopped in the 4-H displays. Skilled and creative members participated in several categories.

Another beautiful day tomorrow, then temps in the 90s and high humidity set in for several days, including some rain chances. It was nice to have good weather for a change and enjoy the day at the fair. I feel lazy; good thing we are having leftovers for dinner that can be heated in the microwave.
