We went with Grampa Jack and Grammy Kelsa to the
Topsfield Fair today. It is the oldest agricultural fair in America, ongoing since 1818! It has much more than the agricultural aspects with rides, food, and performers. Today, the weather was downpouring one minute and sunny the next all morning. Due to that fact the fair was EMPTY. We were there from 11am-2pm and the sunshined almost the whole time (one brief downpour while we were in the chicken house). Georgia had a great time looking at the animals including funky chickens, camels, elephants, cows, horse, sheep, and bunnies. Then, our little Miss Timid decided to try a ride and she got hooked...the scarier the ride the better and included the ferris wheel and a mini-roller coaster!
This chicken (the top prize winner who was actually raised by a young Newburyport boy we often see at the farmers market) was the only thing at the fair with more hair volume than Penelope.

The first ride Georgia tried (we thought it just went back and forth...not spinning AND back and forth). Luckily she was giggling and squealing in delight!

The ferris wheel she went on (unfortunately, no close up pictures were blog worthy).
Gramp and Georgia on the "scary" slide. Despite being pegged "scary", she loved it!
A solo car/train ride.
The largest pumpkin winner with our lovely Grammy Kelsa, aka Vanna White.
