WDM, IA - More Fair Pictures

The Iowa State Fair has so many opportunities for photos that I just wanted to add another entry to show some more which I think help to capture the essence.

Here’s one of the biggest pumpkin. How many front end loaders does one family need to get that baby into the fair?

I always try to get to the horseshoe contests. I’m really working on my action photos. Looks like he’s trying to add a little ‘English’ to his shot.

Look how this RV is perched on one of the many campground hills. Do I want to camp at the fair? Sure, until I see this. Then I reconsider. I wanted to title this photo: ‘The Eagle Has Landed.”

Here are some of the kids in the midway. This young woman, grabbed the wheel with a death grip, turned it right and twirled for the whole time she was in the boat.

These young women look pretty serious - I thought this was supposed to be fun.

Now, this is a BIG bull. Remember, it’s all about BIG. Over 2700 lbs.

How would you like to be caged under a sign which said ‘Broilers’?

This kid looks so young and ernest. His goat is not nearly so interested in the judging as he is.

We had a great time at the Fair and we know why it’s one of the best in the nation.
