Build it they will come... this years butter cow at the Iowa State fair. The cow is life size for those who don't know.
Yesterday was the first day of the fair, kind of got to be a tradition of the wife's to got the first day and listen to the storytellers in Pioneer Hall. She allows me to tag along.
Rated #1 among ALL state fairs. More ways and kinds of food than in Wal Mart seems most are on a stick.
some radom things along the way yesterday...

Side B
Texas is not the only state to do things in a big way.
Our fair starts on Sept. 5, I was hoping to attend this year. Nothing more than a day long sight seeing and walking venue, but like you Hobby I'm a little low on food served on a stick.
BTW, that butter scupture of the cow, isn't that cutting out the middle man? I bet the roasting ear vender wanted to set up shop right next door to it. 
Three people got into a baloon, two from the audience.
just beyond any more words...
Ran into a good friend from the years I lead the Great WHO tractor ride. The two tractors in the background are his and are there on display every year. Something very unusual this year... jacket weather.
These few pictures don't do it justice.
Haven't looked at the beans for weeks till this forenoon. The rain has made them think they have a new lease on life and are putting on new growth and blooms.
Found this preditor out about 8 rows from the edge.
Lots of twins, I think it was too dry just a little too long.
