Deerfield Fair 2010

Note: many of these photos are poor lighting, but I just had to include them all. Also, I know you will be admiring Finn's fabulous sweater. It was knit by Sean's grandmother for him when he was a little boy. Nana found several of them in an attic and I think it is so wonderful that Finn can wear them now!

It is definitely Fall when it is Deerfield Fair time. It is a big deal in this little town. We started off the morning meeting up with Nana, Papa, Aunt Carrie and Uncle Jon and cousins, Libby, Liam and Grace. It was quite a fun crew. Finn was immediately enthralled with the livestock and with no fear, he was anxious to get up close and personal. We began in the oxen barn where he loved petting this calf:


All the cousins checking out the John Deere inventory:

Then, the swine barn. Finn just giggled at every pig and ran from pen to pen to meet each and every one.

What is a fair, without some fabulously bad for you food? I had to get some fried pickles and Finn enjoyed them too:

The giant pumpkin contest:


More John Deere - what is it about boys and tractors? Finn was in seventh heaven:

Mmmm, more fair food - fried dough (aka indian fry bread for you CO folks)

And, lastly, the petting zoo where Finn had a blast feeding all the goats and sheep:
