It all worked out well in the end.<br /><br />Stephen, it's still a great fair, lots to see.<br /><br />Alex, we've noticed a steady decline over the years, probably reflects fewer people in the neighborhood in the farming business. It just came home when I looked back on pics from 5 years ago.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-47356141646527241272016-09-06T09:50:48.423-07:002016-09-06T09:50:48.423-07:00I wonder why there were fewer animals?

She wins ... and they've shown somewhere at a large agricultural show in Washington State! She's 18 shortly!!! Tremendous propensity with animals ... thankfully they were staying with my SIL who has Riding for the Disabled horses and a carriage ... <br /><br />Glad you and Ali had a day to yourselves though - despite the pizza party! Good luck with the return to school and work - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
