RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY. COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY!

Trumbull County Fair

July 8th 2008

Well like they always say "The show must go on" and indeed it did despite the horrible storm that rolled in just about the time the opening ceremonies and crowning of the royal court were to begin. After about a half an hour spent in the ladies restroom on the fairgrounds, the storm finally broke and the ceremonies began! Although there was no power on the fairgrounds and everyone was soaked from head to toe, it didn't stop people from coming out to see who the next king and queen would be. After the crowning and some brief award presentations, I made a quick stroll around the fairgrounds and then got out of there because there was word another storm was heading our way!

Harrison County Fair

July 9th 2008

Well just when I thought I was driving away from the rain little did I know that Harrison County Fairgrounds was hit hard with the rain as well! But once again the shows went on and the people were right there with umbrellas in hand to watch the popular beef show. First up was showmanship and then the actual market show. They had a nice size show and the stands were full of people watching. Thanks to the junior fairboard members and county royalty for letting me help out with the show!
