My grandparents on my mom's side raised and showed sheep, and we spent a lot of time in the sheep barns each summer. In fact, some of those sheep you saw may have been my family's, my uncles won Grand Champion Ram at the IA State Fair this year (for the 3rd year in a row, actually :-) )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658324608798777023.post-39605481066210563462013-08-14T18:08:59.935-05:002013-08-14T18:08:59.935-05:00Poor Nate, he sure looks happy ;).

I grew up in rural Ohio and find this completely unacceptable so I took him to the county fair this weekend. His response (after repeated calling me a nerd for being in 4-H), "The food was good, but I just don't get it." Sigh... He's such a city boy.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222477999823623631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658324608798777023.post-62214320670158997892013-08-13T08:08:29.901-05:002013-08-13T08:08:29.901-05:00My college roommate was from Iowa and she was very...My college roommate was from Iowa and she was very distraught when she found out the butter cow had been vandalized!

Going from county fair to county fair was our lone source of entertainment in Southern Indiana!<br /><br />If you really want great fried-_____-on-a-stick, you should check out the Texas State fair. It's not til October (because it's 100 degrees every day until then), but last year's best taste winners were fried jambalaya and fried bacon cinnamon rolls!Jess @ Little House.
