We went to the Lancaster County Fair this weekend to hang out with my friend Emily and her husband Dan (and their boys, Milo and Otis, a great dane, and a jack russel terrier!) to watch the junior 4-H horse competitions. Emily's little sister won Reserve Champion in Jumping and just about anything with ponies and I'm glued to the stands.
There is an abundance of animals at the County Fair because it is when all the kids who participate in 4-H show off their prize winning animals. The most common are rabbits, ducks/chickens, goats, and cows (and of course, horses in the arena). There was also a petting zoo and Lukka loved here (here is the "Doh!" of forgetting the camera). They had numerous babies in the petting zoo, among them were a camel, a zebra, a kangaroo, a donkey, and the usual fare of goats and pigs. Lukka loved it and there was so much to see, he hardly made a peep the whole 3 hours!
And who can forget that county fair food? MMM the saltiest nachoes you can eat and shaved ice!
With free admission, this is definitely an event you don't want to miss. However, you'll have to wait for next year as it ended on the 10th!
