And in other news...
The Kentucky State Fair is in full swing in Louisville this week. There is something about a state fair that I can barely resist. It isn’t the funnel cakes or the carnival rides as much as the quilt displays and peach preserve judging. According to the paper, today’s schedule includes:
- 4-H youth swine show
- Kentucky Farm Bureau Gospel Quartet Contest
- Miller’s Border Collie Show
- Cast-Iron Chef competition
- Kentucky Pork Producers Racing Pigs
- 4-H tractor contest
- Sale of champions
- Open Sheep Show
- George Jones and the Kentucky Sisters
How can we not be there? If you’ve never seen a little 4-H kid try to show a pig almost her own size in a ring when the pig has other ideas, you haven’t lived.
And how about that Open Sheep Show? I don’t even know what that means...

I do love a good fair. The smells, I think it's the smells. That wierd, somehow pleasing combination of cow manure and corn dogs, hay, pulled pork, and beer. Your senses are inundated by smells they can identify but can't quite seperate from one another.
My favorite exhibit is always the fowl house...you know, where they show off the chickens with the big, feathery feet?
