         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons

Tuesday, July 30, 2013: 

Mark and Paula headed to the Crow Wing County Fair.

It is one of the best county fairs in the state.

Even law enforcement officers ride horses there.

Blacksmith Jim Newgord was there from Riverside Forge.

People gathered around to see how things were made of hot iron like this dinner bell.

Speaking of dinner.....

What would a county fair be without hot buttered corn?

Maybe a turkey drumstick is more to your liking.

Mark thought so. 

Then it was off to the North Central Beekeepers booth for a honey Sunday.

A red spot is on the queen bee in this hive.

Watch it, you could get stung!

Greg Olson from South Long Lake was there with his gas engines.

They date back to between 1902 and 1932.

Stormin' Norman the deer was there watching a father and daughter with bubbles in hand.

Don't give me that "deer in the headlights" look!

Every county fair has horses and young ladies to take care of them.

Bossy the cow was there too. 

Paula couldn't resist talking to a goat and these kids.

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. 

Paula likes to see the plants and especially the lilies.

She would be a Master Gardner if she could find the time.

There was plenty of music for everyone along with refreshments.

What would a county fair be without them?
Quote of the day:  Always fun to go to this county fair.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
