Lets go to the fair!(Re-post)

I went to the fair this weekend and planned on doing a post about it, but then I realized I did a post 2 years ago about the fair that had some great pics....so instead of reinventing the wheel...I've decided to just repost....here ya go! 

 

I(Anne) took my boys to the Lake County Fair today.  Going to the fair is top on my list of fun summer things to do.  I try and make it to at least one county fair every summer.  Call me old fashioned, but I just feel there is something so nostalgic about "going to the fair".  The rides, the games, the animals, the food...it never changes!  In fact, Lake County Fair has been going since 1852...now that's nostalgia for ya!

Speaking of food.....

 

    

and rides.......

 

Nothing's more vintage than a ride on the carousal!

Augie's first spin on a carousal.  Looks like he's enjoying it!

I think I rode in this same car in 1978. 

No fair is complete without a train ride.

The games never change either....

Trust me, I ain't foolin' anyone...I know and he knows, I'm overweight.

I hope it's potty trained!

 

25 cents??? I'm in! 

 

Go Mac go!!

 

 Love the muted colors and big sky in this picture.

 

And finally...my favorite part...the farm animals!

 

I bet this pig dreams of the same stuff I do....the food at the fair!

 It must be nap time!

 

How could something be so ugly and so beautiful at the same time!

Some bunny loves this bunny!  This was the only cage at the entire fair with a huge colorful name tag.  I LOVE that some child wrote this and displayed it so brilliantly. Mr. Sniffles is one lucky bunny!

 

Where are these three headed? 

 

I got about a million questions after this display.

 

If you get a chance...make it out to your county fair. If you are in the Chicagoland area, you still have a chance to make it out to the following fairs:

Mchenry County Fair- August 1st- 5th

Illinois State Fair- August 9th- 19th

Walworth County Fair, Wisconsin- August 29th- September 3rd -  This is a great one!
