Heavy lifting begins

Our Governor reports that the State Fair is still possible but that it will be a "heavy lift".

That means that routine must be pursued at the Fairgrounds.  We have reached the time of year when all of the trailers, campers and boats stored over the winter in buildings on the grounds have to come out of the barns and go home.

Here on the parking lot which during the Fair becomes the Midway are some of the items awaiting pick up.
And speaking of heavy lifts, here is a shot originally posted on September 3, 2017, of a very large pig having completed the heavy lift of heaving himself up onto his feet.
The winner that year weighed in at 1,400 pounds, a lot of pork.

We may not see his like again any time soon and we may not see a crowd scene as seen in the background of this photo any time soon.

Today was a pretty nice day, 60-ish with partly to mostly cloudy skies, a nice day for a bike ride.

Interesting. I remember that really big pig standing up.It will not happen this year, I bet. Too bad, I was looking forward to sitting on our bench with Norah and Emily!
I better walk through the fair one of these days.

The state fair sounds like a very heavy lift at this point. Still, it’s good to see activity at the fair grounds.
Good enough day to ride is a good enough day.
