Topsfield Fair
Sooz pointed out that this was the last weekend of the Topsfield Fair, and since we missed the Big E, it might be a good idea to go. It was the perfect day: crisp, autumnal, sunny, perfect. It was much bigger, and much busier than I thought. But it was really cool - I'm a big livestock fan (I'm partial to pigs, and there were some really cute piglets). There was some great carnival food (including turkey legs). And interestingly, one of the many displays was the actual origin point of Bush foreign policy. Interesting.
We didn't go on any of the rides, but it was fun just to walk around the midway and people watch. Lots more cowboy hats than you usually see in Eastern Mass., and one breathtaking mullet. There was also a buzz in the air when everyone found out the Yankees got knocked out of the playoffs. Interestingly, the fair managed to get Alex Rodriguez to jet right out so we could all ask him about his playoff performance.
Here are all my pictures.
