150th Martha's Vineyard Ag Fair

Aren't fairs the best?
Actually I don't know what's so appealing about it...
greasy food, rusty rides,
wasting money on cheap toys like a giant rubber baseball bat,
and sweating under the hot sun.
And yet we look forward to it every year.
Maybe it's the prize winning rooster, chicken, and horse.
The fattest pig and smallest pony.
the Frog Jumping show
(doesn't he look like a frog?)
Sheep sheering.
(first time we've seen it done)
And our favorite attraction...
the Tractor Pull.
Oh... and the Lumberjack Competition.
Basically NEVER mess with this guy.
Henry, pushing the massive stroller.
Or maybe it's because it only comes once a year.
The End.
(only appropriate)
