The weather has been a little windy. I don't know if that is keeping them away or not. I see a lot of kids on the grounds, and that is always encouraging. Away from Oak Street Stage, kids enjoyed basic fair activities. One of the more popular attractions was Old MacDonald's Barn.
Kids can walk through the barn and pet or hold the various animals.
Dennis Wilson, who runs the barn in association with the Kennewick and Pasco FFA, said there were more kids who went through the barn Wednesday than he could count. Spend a little time with him, and Wilson can describe quite a few stories he has collected in the many years he has been running the barn. One that stood out, however, involved the dancing llama. Wilson said Ebony the Llama, who is at the fair again this year, seems to move her back feet like she is dancing whenever she hears music. Old MacDonald's Barn will be open for the remainder of the fair.
