Geauga County Fair

We came back from our trip to Cleveland last week - we had a great time! On the first full day of our visit, we decided to head out to the Geauga County Fair. It's an old fair (150+ years!) that's held really close to where my family lived when we first moved to Ohio from Texas - out in the country! So I guess I first went to the fair a long time ago!

We visited the fair the Friday before Labor Day, which worked out really well because there were hardly any crowds and it was easy to find really close parking. We also lucked out with decent weather, since the rest of the weekend was 90 degrees and humid...summer decided to throw everything at us for one last week.







We saw all of the county winners - best apples, arts and crafts, beer and wine (!), and all kinds of other things. There was a pretty cool area with a bunch of traditional craftspeople, like a broom maker and a smith.







After lunch, we stopped by the barns with all the cute animals. Unfortunately, we missed the pig race...but we did get to see a pig sleeping with its food bowl on its head, which was pretty cute. All in all, a fun day at the fair!
