The Great One

It seems every county has a great fair.   Today Eagle flew us 35 miles southwest of our rv park to see if this claim was true.



The Great Geauga (jee aw ga) County Fair did a "fair" job of living up to the hype.
After we paid $2 to park the bike and got in free for Seniors' Day, we walked around and found the usual rides

and food.  

We stopped to watch the Jr. Fair horse show, but were disappointed to find only English Classes were scheduled for the day.  We watched a couple of classes then went in search of  the wood carving tent.  

Along the way we stopped to compare the biggest 

and smallest of the horse world, and decided to buy rib eye steak sandwiches for lunch.

The carver turned out to be a woman chain saw carver.  During her 1/2 hour demonstration we ate our sandwiches and tried to guess what figure she was making.  

She knew her craft and had several very nice pieces for sale, mostly animals.

After all that watching we needed more sustenance.  A funnel cake fit the bill.

We skipped the animals and didn't walk far enough to find the other usual fair buildings--domestic arts, agricultural building, antiques.  On our way out I found a library book sale.  I was delighted to receive a nice cloth tote bag which I filled with 8 books (three of which I was intending to buy anyway) for the bargain price of $5.  

We were pleased with our trip to the fair and very pleased with our pleasant ride through rural northern Ohio in perfect weather. 

Hoping the beautiful weather holds,

Louise and Duane
