We went to the Nevada State Fair on Friday night…really, really, really liked the free parking. That was the best idea they came up with!
Not many piggies in the barns ~ lots of sheep, bunnies, chickens, ducks and cows. Had oodles of scaley critters. Great looking quilts. Lots of loud tractors [...]
