Sheboygan County Fair 2017

Our last fair of the summer is in Plymouth. Although this fair is a good hour drive from our house, it is a great way to close out the 2017 season.

We love to see the girls do "horse-dancing," as I call it. The precise, choreographed moves really do mimic a dance. Sometimes, the horses wear rhinestones and ribbons. This year, we caught the end of an act.



A school-age children art exhibit was really quite impressive. The entire upstairs of what looks like it may have been an old farmhouse was covered in art work from local children.



Of course, the fair wouldn't be complete without showing the many creative entries from Sheboygan County folks hoping to win a ribbon. I always snap a few photos of things that catch my eye.


We saw lots of animals at this fair, and especially impressive was the size of the beef cattle and milkers. Cows look so much smaller when you see them from the road but up close and personal they are HUGE. It is always fun to try to get the animals to pose for a picture, though I never have too much luck with that.






We are in a bit of a food rut at this fair because we always get the walking taco. It is just that good!


Well, it was a very good season. We had excellent weather, great food, available parking, and lots of new things to see. The only real problem is the massive crowds that enjoy the fair on the day we decide to go. Maybe next year, we will try to visit on weekdays!
