Bully for the Fall Fairs

It's fall. Leaves are changing colour, geese are gathering on the river's edge,
and the fall fairs have begun. A chance for local farmers and their families  to gather  and gloat about the things they've grown this year...
Hmmm. Nice, uh, hooves.
The competitive spirit isn't the men's domain alone though. The women can be downright proud of their efforts too. Whether it's flower gardening...
or the gentler arts  of winter like quilting, tole painting, and decoupaging...
The front foyer decorative display category is always interesting too...

Bonny Burton nailed 1st place for her Washboard Bunny with the Baby in a Box.
After all that competition, it's good to go shoot a few rounds
 and blow off some steam. 
The neon snakes and pink plush pigs are sure to make you feel like a winner.
And the rides are fun too.
No age limits here, it's fun for all...

And just when you think you've seen  everything you hear the distant sounds of the bagpipes and it's time to greet the newly crowned princess...

Rural real Ontario.
Corny? Yes.
Home? That too.
