tBGR at the Fair

Going to the Fair with a baby means an early start.

Geez, there sure are not very many people there before 10.  We were though.  While most of her staff got breakfast the baby was able to get her foot into her mouth.

She was really good but she was ready to eat before the rest of us were ready to eat again.  We found a bench at the DNR building.

We also had the lucky happenstance of running into one of my very best pals from the old days at the plant.

We didn't do everything that we have done some years in the past.  But for two of us it isn't a trip to the Fair without the State's largest boar.

1,200 pounds this year, a pretty big pig.

Because of the fact that there have been a couple of years recently when the State's largest pumpkin has been larger than the largest boar it is now our custom to beat a straight line away from the pig to the gourd.

1,143 pounds, this year pork defeats vegetable albeit by a slim margin.

On to the Midway where tBGR's primary attendant this year needed only a single game at that horse race game to add to her collection of goofy stuffed animals.

She also won at her first attempt at banging the hammer and launching a rubber frog into the moving lily pads.

As we started for home we stopped by to have Goldy give each of us a free pair of sun glasses.

The baby was hungry again and what the baby wants the baby gets.  But after she was satisfied Mom and Grandma got to pose with the baby and Mom's two Midway prizes.

So she has been to the Fair at the age of 5 and a half months.  It went just fine, she was either sleeping, eating or watching.  Always looking around, always watching.

A great day at the Fair.
