Chelsea Community Fair.

Well, Troy and I have figured out what is the quickest way to blow $80 in less than 2 hours? Answer: take your kids to the fair. And, I will have you note that we all had eaten before we went to the fair so we didn't even eat dinner there! Geesh. This fair, mind you, is no Henry County Fair, for all you northwest Ohio folks. There is no circular midway that you can walk with your wooden cane, there is no awesome milkshake stand,there is no one calling peoples names over the loud speaker to the hog barn, there is a very small barn each for your standard farm animals and sometimes they even double-up and have the pigs, goats and sheep all in one. Of course it is chock full of those particularly interesting carnival folk. And there is a tractor pull. That is where we found ourselves after blowing 80 bones on unsafe rides and rip-off games.

Miss T was too short to ride many of the very unsafe rides. This train ride was her consolation prize.

Tractor pulling.
Yes that man has one arm. His job is to hook up the weight to the tractors. Of course I wonder how he lost his arm?

Black smoke. That's when the crowd gets all excited!

Look at our little dairy farmer milking a pretend cow!


This is her realizing what she was doing and thinking, "Was I just milking a cow?"
