We visited the animal barns, the art pavilion and the home making pavilion. We got tired sooner than we used to. By edict from Clarine our lunch had to be a Navajo taco. I also bought some candy coated pecans in a cone shaped container.
Let me tell you about the Navajo taco. It was a large piece of fry bread (very much like a big scone only maybe lighter) covered with the stuff similar to what is in a taco salad. It was large, so we ordered one and shared it. We ordered a second piece of fry bread (big a s a paper plate) and shared it as well. We covered it with warm melted, runny honey, cinnamon, and powdered sugar. It was yummy too. Clarine had a Dr. Pepper. Water was fine for me. We got very full, but I even bought the pecans after our fill. It was a very indulgent way to cap our fair visit.
I think the photos I will include will be something from the gardening area and from the livestock area. In the Dairy pavilion I was amazed at the size of the udders on the cows that had been bred to produce milk most abundantly. (They will never be able to place their hind legs together again.) Some of the garden produce had been on display for several days and had begun to dehydrate. Much of it such as squash had grown to huge sizes. We also saw beautiful floral arrangements.
As I mentioned in my blog yesterday, after we left the fair, we drove to the City and County Building where I photographed the tile pattern in the main entrance on the first floor. After that we drove to the Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolate Factory, so that I could take a picture of the sign and show Chris that all of their signs do not have inane phrases with them. Since we were there, we stocked up on about two pounds of their seconds which are as good as their firsts except maybe for appearance, and the cost is about half. MMMM!!!!! They surely do taste good.
We paid little attention to rides, shows and novelties. The shows seemed to be for a younger generation. Nevertheless our day at the fair was a good one.
