I've only attended one county fair and that was a few years back while traveling through Gunnison, Colorado. Four decades ago we regularly visited the Wisconsin State Fair because it was much closer to Chicago than the Illinois State Fair in Springfield. So today I went to Grayslake and walked all the exhibits and was immediately reminded that fairs are not only visual experiences, but also olfactory ones.
Let me crow!
Let me out!
Let me sleep!
Equestrian competition
A new event was the Mutton Bustin', a take-off on bronco bustin' but designed for kids six and younger and under 60 pounds. They don flak jackets and helmets and compete to see who can stay on the back of a ewe the longest.
