Wyoming County Fair 2010

Why is it I never take enough photos? Wherever I go, whatever I do, the camera spends far too much time in my bag and I end up snatching the husband's SD card to retain those memories. Then again, looking back at the photos from the Wyoming County Fair this past Saturday, there's also no evidence of the treats I munched on... Food-wise, I actually didn't do too bad. One scoop of coffee ice cream, a hot 5 oz pretzel with lots of mustard for dipping and a free blueberry coffee. I even stayed away from the lamb gyros and pumpkin rice pudding, which I intend to "healthify" at a later date. Don had a huge Italian sausage with peppers, two scoops of coffee ice cream, a pretzel, a black raspberry milkshake and part of a very disturbing pepperoni stick. At least he avoided the fried candy bars LOL

Jumbo Pumpkins

These beets were larger than baseballs

He started shoving at the goats in the next stable a few minutes later.

Scary pig snuffling me

This critter definitely was not shy. He had his chest proudly poofed out when I arrived, then turned around to give me a side view. Check out those ears!

Maple coffee, maple seasoning, maple tea and maple sugar -- pure maple happiness. The tea is one of our usual Canada purchases, so it was a nice surprise to find it in NEPA. The sugar and seasoning are from a local farm in Springville, Loch's Maple & Fiber.

I like looking at the PA Dutch vendors with the berry garlands, wax candle "cookies" and raven art, but it really doesn't fit our house. No photos; it just doesn't feel right taking photos of a vendor's goods without purchasing anything. I did, however, make a couple purchases at a book vendor and picked up a copy of The Shipping News and A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing.

We were shocked to see the Christmas Trees were missing from the fair this year! What's up with that?! Maybe at the Bloomsburg Fair, which runs from September 25th - October 2nd. On to the next fair!
