All is "Fair" in Geauga County





Well, the girls returned to the county of their birth for the final "Country Fair" of the year. The Geauga County Fair is one of the oldest fairs in Ohio. We had a great time. My aunt and uncle moved to this area a few years ago and we are continuing to discover the beauty of Amish country. Of course, for Kali and Peyton it was all about the greasy food and the friendly (or not-so-friendly) animals. We ate homemade and delicious (read, unhealthy) food, saw the most lovely animals and rode some pretty scary looking rides. The girls were able to interact with all kinds of animals - little rabbits to draft horses and everything in between. The llamas and the alpacas were especially interesting to Kali. Peyton liked the miniature horses and the sheep. Good, wholesome family fun! The food selection was mind boggling. We all agreed that the fried sweet potatoes were wonderful, but nothing beats fried shoe string potatoes with malt vinegar! Can you hear my arteries clogging?
