Alex and I ventured to the county fair, it is held in Rochester so it is easy to get to. Everyone kept commenting how small it is so we weren't expecting much. The funny thing is that it really didn't seem too much smaller than Utah State Fair (From what we've been told, the Minnesota State Fair is insanely large so in comparison it is tiny).
We started out grabbing some yummy, greasy, over-priced grub.
Then we made our rounds to all the booths to see what cool thing were for sale
and what items won ribbons
We even got the real fair experience and watched a horse competition or auction (we really weren't sure what we had just got in the middle of, we just knew we didn't fit in) but that didn't last too long.. We also made our rounds to the petting zoo.
The Chicks
The Pigs
The Cows
(Next time someone calls me a "heifer" I'm going to say thank you. Cows don't seem to have a lot of fat on them)
Last but not least, we saw this mother cow and calf just moments after it was born. The cute little calf tried and tried to stand up and walk but kept falling over. It was as adorable as a Disney movie. At one point he seemed to have it until his mom licked him and he fell over.
And you can't come to Rochester and not see the Corn tank. The fair is really close to this tank. It stands as some land mark or something.
It was a great time and Alex and I are finding so many cool things to do here. The best part of the fair was the sugary donuts at the end. We didn't take a picture because we didn't want to make you jealous. Our trip to the fair was an enjoyed success.
