Images from the Fair

Went to the Columbia County Fair in Chatham on Sunday, and had a great afternoon. Think of the New York State Fair divided by about 700 — but the 4H projects and the craftsmen (blacksmiths, woodworkers, etc.) were just on a completely different, simpler, scale. It was quite charming, and the fairgrounds were very nice.

The first: a post-it found on a ticket booth at the midway. Hey, at least he spelled “Dad” right:

Second, a bee ride. Somehow, at this size, the whole thing just kinda creeped me out.

Last: the Fun Slide. A completely different experience from the Slide of Death.
