Medina Co. Fair

Fair Visit Number Three

On Monday, Tommy and I toured the Medina County Fair. They were having their 165th anniversary! Even though we arrived very early on the fair's opening day, many shows and events were going on, which surprised us. At our fair, usually shows start on Wednesday, the day after opening ceremonies.

We were led on a quick tour of the grounds, and then shown back to the rabbit barns, where showmanship was taking place. Tommy and I were both impressed that showmanship is mandatory in Medina County. We were able to hand out the ribbons and trophies in each age group. At the show, we met Jr. Fair Board member and rabbit show announcer, Logan. Logan was able to tell us all about the Jr. Fair program in his county, and even pointed us in the direction of Tommy's french waffle stand and the Jr. Leader's milkshake stand.

Medina County offered a petting zoo barn, which housed almost ever animal from rabbits to mini horses to peacocks! Each animal had a sign next to them with a few educational facts.

Myself with the peacocks!

Special thanks to Logan for his special tour of the Medina County fair!
