Every year we have our annual "Lamb Fair". The town literally shuts down. The kids cant concentrate for a week because the carnival pulls in and sets up in the school parking lot. On Friday there is the street dance- they used to shut down the street and literally dance in the street, but now it has moved to the fairgrounds and stage... the kids get to hang out with all of their friends while the parents visit with people they never get to see... There are food booths, activities, the parade, forestry competitions, bake shows and sales, quilt and flower show... basically an entire weekend to spend visiting and having fun... I remember being a kid and looking forward to the lamb fair, just like my kids do now... of course doing it in 80* weather instead of the pouring rain is always a treat and much more enjoyable!! Small town America at its finest!
Goofing around at the street dance with good friends.
Addie, Abby, and Tony all set for the parade
Molly all ready to ride on the 4H float for the first time.
Noah and his buddies on the 4Hfloat
Tank and Mackenzie all dressed up for the parade..
The grand champion float- the high school forestry dept. It even had water cannons!
The boys scoring candy while Addie walks (in high heels, panty hose and a thick jacket) a very large and hot Tony down the parade route.
Molly and buddy Carter at the carnival
Bis on his first fair ride
Molly used her left over money to buy cotton candy (the deal was they could spend it however they wanted- usually she doesn't eat any sugar). She was determined to eat her entire bag.
She only made it part way before she got a massive headache and crashed!!! She says she is NEVER going to eat that stuff again!!! EVER!!!
Noah getting ready to perform with his singing group.
Just before going on stage
Yordi getting ready to watch Noah sing.

Pig riding....that's nothing like cow tipping, is it? When is the fair where Buzz will reign?
I LOVE the pics from the Lamb fair. Reminds me of my younger days....such good times! That pic of Molly is so funny...trying to eat all that cotton candy...it was bigger than her! And Miss Addie...holy smokes girl...make her quit growing...heels...ugh...it's making us older!
You had me laughing with the pig washing/chicken saving thing. I can almost see it!
How very very fun!!!!!
