Sedalia, August 2011

On August 16, 2011, my family and I visited the Missouri State Fair at Sedalia, Missouri. The sky was overcast and we did experience some rain. The weather and the day of the week (Tuesday) kept the crowds away.

Lots of stuff to buy.
Image

Lots of stuff to eat.
Image

Image

Image

Touted as the world's greatest carnival. Okay.
Image

Must have been fun.

It was kinda fun. Thank you for commenting!

One little guy almost had all the rides to himself.
Image

Stepping back a little...
Image

Who would ride this thing?
Image

Oh.
Image

And they're off! Just before rotating the image to maintain the correct perspective, I noticed my son and husband in the bottom right corner, so I left them in.
Image

My son took this picture with my camera, and a bunch of others among the bumper cars.
Image

Another three tickets, another ride.
Image

He won a small prize for all his effort. Reminds me of the stock market.
Image

She tried her hand at it.
Image

Square pants buddies.
Image

What's a fair without big farm machinery?
Image

Two big wheels.

Farm equipment was on display. This thing seems like something that belongs to a monster.
Image

I guess this one splits logs.
Image

This one makes bacon. :D
Image

Future Farmers tended to their livestock in this building.
Image

One such.
Image

Prize squash.
Image

How does a ham win a competition?
Image

Or popcorn? Wouldn't you have to pop and taste it?
Image

These flowers were in a metal bucket, and I have a picture of it. But this overhead shot was better.
Image

These were just visitors.
Image

The garden needed a little upkeep.
Image

Hi, Ho, Silver! I mean, Green!

These are the last pictures of our day at the Missouri State Fair, on August 16, 2011.

I have pictures of the actual turtle, who got caught in a plastic can holder, but the wall poster was better.
Image

This thing is called "The Tilt."
Image

For those who care, the border is one solid color.
Image

Strolling along the midway.
Image

I was so taken by what looks like a bull wearing black velvet pants. I had no idea that fur could look like that. He was very well groomed. I wonder if he won a prize.
Image

The inevitable petting zoo.
Image

Image

Strange bedfellows. We were supposed to be quiet around these guys, as they are nocturnal.
Image

Image

Why don't these people feed us!
Image

Time to leave the fair.
Image

Signature salad for dinner that night. Quite tasty.
