Fun Day at the Fair

Everyone's idea of what makes the Indiana State Fair 

a fun experience is different. If not, there wouldn't 

be a bunch of amusements as side shows to the livestock

and agricultural exhibits. While I enjoy the color 

and patterns, I cannot otherwise be bothered 

with the carnival rides and lures of the games;

every year, I head for the animal exhibits

and to Pioneer Village to watch demonstrations

of old farm equipment and to watch

craftsmen cut wood, make wagon wheels,

and forge metal into tires, tools, or horse shoes.

In that light, a father and daughter pose

behind a scene of a chick and a bunny while

someone takes their picture, and the woman below

catches a bit of sleep after seeing to the care

of her dairy cattle earlier that morning.
