Notorious for being late, we pulled into the empty parking lot of the Greene County Youth Festival – 2 hours before they even opened. We thought we were clever for beating the crowds (and the heat) by going early, but in fact we didn’t realize that the fair opened at 12pm. But that’s okay. No one told us to leave. We had the place to ourselves!
Alan and Ivan spent time riding tractors around barrels of hay and playing in a corn pit. The Greenville Fire Department gave the boys shiny red fire helmets and allowed them to sit behind the wheal. We pet the cows, pigs, rabbits and roosters….Alan fed a calf some hay. My favorite were the baby pigs.
Lunchtime was fun. We had front row picnic tables to a live country band. Melanie wanted to request Orange Blossom Special. I couldn’t believe my ears. Alan and I listened to that song about 35 times last night on Youtube (Johnny Cash singing with Miss Piggy). It amazes me how in synch we are! We ate typical fair food – Melanie was smart. She packed a healthy sandwich for Ivan, so Alan had pizza…the most nutritious item I could find. Nick couldn’t resist eating a corndog (where else does one eat such things), and Melanie and I had French fries. Roger had sausage and peppers…..I can hear the arteries clogging!
Of course Alan was intrigued by the fan.
