Our State Fair is a great State Fair!

Grandma and Grandpa Taller visited us over the weekend and we braved the heat and humidity to go the Indiana State Fair. Unlike the Minnesota state fair, this fair had a whole bunch of heavy equipment to check out. The most impressive was the combine with the 32 row head on it. Mom thought that would make quick work of all those test plots she had to harvest by hand. Then there were a bunch of show offs. This is an example of what NOT to do when you are a heavy equipment operator.
Mom drug everyone through all the animal barns. We touched everything (and then hand sanitized). The barns in Indiana are airconditioned. It made you want to go in and smell like manure. Annalise's toes get licked by the calves.
Of course, we checked out the ag building and mom went stumping for jobs. Meanwhile, Evie got a horsey ride with her political agenda balloon.
This fair was still a good old fashioned fair that people and 4-H er's are heavily involved in. Check out these Giant Veggies!

We ate some stuff too--pork sandwiches from the pork producers and milk shakes from the dairy producers. Of course, what is the fair without a lemon shake up? We even saw deep fried kraut balls. It made us think of Aunt Becky.

We actually have more pictures but mom and dad STILL haven't installed the software to rotate the pictures so they are upright. Maybe one of these days....
