Routt County Fair

Today we made a visit to our local county fair - what we would call the "agricultural show" or "show" in Australia (or in Queensland where they do things differently, the "Exhibition" or "Ekka").

My wife went to see her friend's quilting which won a number of prizes (congratulations Judy). I went to see the pigs. You see I grew up on a pig farm where we had literally thousands of pigs. I like pigs. They're much smarter, cleaner and friendly than most people realise. Plus they love it when you scratch them behind the ear. Like a dog without the barking and biting.
