From the Tama County Fair
Posted on Saturday, July 24 at 2:10pm
We hit the wet and soggy road this morning to head out to the Tama Co. Fair. The fairgrounds was a little soggy from the rain last night but that certainly didn't dampen anyone's spirits!
You know, at every fair I visit I can almost always find something new and unique and Tama Co. did not disappoint! After a walk through the 4H building and an exhibition area, I headed up to a horse show. Believe me when I say, this was no ordinary horse show.
About a dozen horses and their riders were decked out and dressed up, each with their own theme. There was a horse painted like a zebra, a horse titled "Wet Paint" and even one that looked like a fire truck (with emergency lights and a fire fighter to match!). We had to take pictures so you could see!
It seemed too tough to judge, but I had the privilege of handing out awards to the kids to who took part!
Really a fun morning with some great folks in Tama County! We're now on the road headed down to the Muscatine Co. Fair. We're seeing our first raindrops of today's trip, so let's hope we stay dry!
Until the next adventure,
Patty
