Carnival games, fried foods, lemonade, 4-H, homemade crafts and car races!  The Grey’s County Fair was a great mix of big time Carnival acts and local flair.

 

Everyone loves the fair,  we especially enjoyed the hospitality of the people at Grey’s Harbor Fair.  We shared a table with a cute young couple that shared their deep fried Oreo’s and then we happened upon a nice lady that shared her deep fried mushrooms.  All this great food and we haven’t even paid for any of it yet!  We did our share and ate way too much.

The fair wasn’t just about the food.  We enjoyed the arts & crafts displays, the science fair displays, and then there are the pigs, cows, goats, and horses!  One of my most favorite was the homemade train that transported children about the park.

This was so cute and the supervisor sitting behind the conductor in a lawn chair was perfect!

We met so many kids showing off their animals.  One boy was allowing us to pet his minature bunny and shared with me that his bunny had been petted by 365 different people in 3 days.  I am always a sucker for the babies and the piggies were the babies here.  This momma had 14 babies and she didn’t really seem all that impressed with their needs!

 

We usually skip many of the exhibit buildings but today I checked out the flowers.  They had a whole display of cut flowers.

 

What I found most interesting is that they actually grew flowers here.  I keep trying to grow a few herbs and it is just not warm enough!

 

The fair admission included admission to the evening dirt track races.  Sitting on a cold bleacher watching cars race around crashing into each other spraying dirt into the stands doesn’t sound like much fun until you try it.  We laughed, cheered and were amazed when a housewife drove her first race car and rolled it 3 times!  It was scary until we knew she was fine and then it was cheer on!   The dirt was in the air and when we left I felt like I had had a mud facial!  Great Fun
