FAIR: Animals on display

Hats off to Unionville Community Fair president Bonnie Musser and her team for presenting a truly awesome Fair this year. It helped that Saturday was a perfect autumn day.
On Saturday afternoon we got a chance to visit with the goats, alpacas and llamas and had a long talk with the goats' owner. When she said "kids," I couldn't tell if she was referring to the young goats or her own children.
We also got to watch the Dairy Cattle judging. Per protocol, the young men and women who were showing their cows were dressed in white shirts and white jeans and put the spotlessly clean cows through their paces as the judge, in jacket and tie, watched carefully. At the end of his inspection, before announcing the results, he told the youths that he realized his mere 10 minutes of assessment was reflecting the hard work and long hours that they had put in all summer.
