If you’ve read me for a while, or are a facebook friend, you know I volunteer on the committee to run an agricultural fair in our small town of Bolton. The fair has been going for over 130 years. I organize the music/bands for the weekend.
Last weekend was the fair and a friend took this shot of my kids on one of the midway rides:
They were just coming in for a landing!
Here’s my music tent. We have bands in it all day! (where did that baby bottle come from??)
I love the fair at night! So pretty!
Since I’m in the tent all day, I don’t get out too much, but there are some very cute baby animals at the fair every year, and a lot of 4-H kids with their animals. The pig races are a huge hit, though I missed them this year; and people pack in for the demolition derby at night and the (really really LOUD) monster truck rallies (fair photo):
Though I have to say, I’m just kind of the quiet, music type!
Is there a fair in your town in the summer?

That fair sounds like a lot of fun. My kids would love the Monster Truck!
Here’s my snapshot

We have a fair (although it’s called a show here), but it’s in May which is autumn for us, and it’s always freezing. That first ride looks weird – lying down- I don’t think I’ve seen one like that before.
The first ride goes up to about 50 feet and they swing around lying down, as if they are paragliding. You won’t catch me on it!! 🙂
Our fair was the second week of August – I do not go anymore, no big interest but the pictures are lovely!
I haven’t been to a fair in eons.The night photo is wonderful.
I can’t imagine a fair that has 130 years of history. Just amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I haven’t been to a fair in ages, but now I want to go to one! Thanks for sharing.
This looks like a lot of fun. Good for you for helping continue the tradition. We don’t have a fair in our town, but we do have “events.” I’m featuring one on my Saturday Snapshots post today:Pianos on Parade. Our Washington State Fair will happen in September in nearby Puyallup.
