Date Night: Chickens at the Fair

It is Fair time again which means a date night for Pork Burgers at the Fair…they were excellent this year…not too much sage.

French Fries were $1 at the 4 –H booth…so that was supper.

It was a very warm 88 F or 31 C eh with lots of humidity.  We walked through some of the exhibits.

Our Great Nieces exhibited their brown egg laying chickens.  We get eggs from them and they are the best eggs ever.

Great nieces chickens

Far Guy liked this chicken.  I think it was the hair do that made us both smile.

As we were leaving the Chicken Barn a boy and his chicken were sharing French Fries.

You could tell that the boy and his chicken were bonded.

Love those date nights at the Fair. Our County Fair starts next week.

That is a Polish Chicken, we loved raising them as they are such odd looking chickens! My sons both showed chickens in 4H and had so much fun.
Sounds like a perfect night out.

I love those chickens. And county fairs. And eating at the 4-H stand. And of course it has to be sweaty-humid-hot. I think you had a perfect date night!

It's fun to wander through the buildings and barns to see the animals at the Fair. I enjoy the lemonade stand - fresh squeezed lemons and just the right amount of sugar.

Leah said...

Chickens are a kids best friend.

That chicken with the hairdo would make me laugh. I love the fair! Shelby and I were talking this morning about the upcoming state fair.

We've always got to spend some time at the fair.

Your fair is really early compared to those out here on the west coast. The boy and chicken bonding is sweet. I never liked our chickens when I was kid.

The chicken hairdo makes me smile, too. And I love that last picture, too. Now I'm all smiles. :-)

You really should watch the DVD called "Chicken People" about people who breed and raise chickens for competition. Proof that it takes all kinds to make up our world.
