The first few days of competition focus mostly on young people, all 4-H and Future Farmers of America members, then the adults. I loved it, just the people that you meet. Milk a cow and watch a chick hatch from its egg. Stroll the Midway and win your sweetheart a teddy bear. Watch a goat blow up a balloon.
Possibilities are endless at the fair.
