County Fair Time

Its County Fair Time again in south East Kansas.

Spent a warm morning watching young folks learn how to judge livestock the other day. It never fails to amaze me how much work, effort and pride they take in their work.

County Fair

Its getting near the end of the summer and County Fairs across Kansas have been happening all month. I went to the Crawford County Fair at the end of July.
Here are  a few images from my walk about at the fair.

On the road back home.

School is about to get rolling again for young people here is SE KS, just a few more weeks and summer will be over. Well the hot weather wont change but the routine will. I saw this quote on another blog today and it made me think of what we learn about as we go through and leave school. Hopefully we keep learning.

" Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty- five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things."

--Douglas Noel Adams

Faces and Places #1

Some happy folks from our trip down to Columbus Kansas this morning for the parade.

"Did you see what I saw? " Said the couple behind us.

"I'm sure he went that way"

 "I guess thats the end"
