Just arrived home from the fairgrounds and watching Attonement on the lawn at the museum. The festival was quite fun with lots of vendors serving up samples of barbecue, chips, nuts and loads of other goodies. Lots of old antique tractors too. I did not grow up with tractors, but looking at the wide variety of them dating way back in history was quite interesting. Seemed like a lot of people took great pride in their tractors. Rides and unhealthy tasty fair food too. It was hot & humid out, but manageable. We'll be visiting again tomorrow just for the social aspect.
