The Grand County Fair

The smell of fresh popcorn, permeating the air. I await for summer, and the grand county fair. Young children about, cotton candy and snacks. Fairground games, with plenty of toys on the racks. The fair grounds in summer, dirt and mud on the ground. Be careful of where you step, the prize cow is running around. The horses and goats, offer welcome to their zoo. The grand county fair, many memories will ensue.

I love the fairs - the local ones, the 4-H ones, and the state fairs. So many things you cannot ever see, get, or hear anywhere else! This was a fantastic reminder to me to go to them next year.

Nothing beats a day out like that Mark, and the summer weather makes it. Tom

Thanks Jan! Probably not a popular type of poem but it was fun to write. I was actually describing the Grand forks county fair. It’s close to where I live.
