Do you attend or participate in your local county fair?

Hi there rocketj1 My eldest son was this year chosen to be a page boy for our old English Fayre and he had certain duties to attend to and I was so proud of him. The next day after the fayre there was a church parade and my eldest had to attend that and my middle son was also marching in that with the Boys Brigade. This Saturday will be our Carnival where my eldest again will be walking through the street in his page boy outfit and my youngest son will be with his preschool dressed as a pirate. I am really looking forward to it.

We have always been associated with our County fair, as a child I showed my horse, and young adults we showed our garden produce, as adults we worked with the square dancing groups, and entered our crafts. Now we enjoy just visiting..

Yes, I have in my life. But, I have not been to one in a while.. I guess because it is not exciting as it was when I was younger.. But, I do plan to take my kids to one.. The county fair starts this week, I believe, in Sumter County. So, I guess I will try to take my kids..

no, i don't participate in the festival we have here once a year. never have been into things like that unless they had antiques for sale. my kids always enjoyed going to the canivals we use to have every july 4th. was so glad when they got big enough to go w/friends. lol

We have the State Fair here in our town and it goes on for 11 days, and I go 2 or 3 times and I love it. We have a big parade, and their are plenty of rides and games and entertainment, and food, oh my, the food, everything from great big turkey legs to the usual cotton candy and candied apples, funnel cakes, bar-b-q, burritoes, just all kinds of food. Their is a big rodeo with major bronc and bull riders and such, and of course the 4H animal shows and animal auctions, and the contests for best quilt and jelly and art and sewing and canned goods and all of that. I don't enter into any of that, I leave that part to the experts. LOL This year we had white tigers, a monkey act, a lot of local bands, and the Guess Who, and the Smothers Brothers, and a couple of country western singers as major acts to see. And a lot of vendors selling everything from hot tubs to hats and belts and such, it is just so much to do and to see. And a month after that we have our annual Chile and Frijole festival, which is a lot of the same as the fair as far as food and vendors and local entertainment and this one is a 3 day affair and we go one day for this one. It is just all so much fun for us.
