A Celebration of Food: Goshen Fair

Is there anything that says "end of summer" more than a visit to a local fair? We visited the Goshen Fair this morning, beating the crowds by several hours, and enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the fairgrounds.  Here are some vignettes from this glorious celebration of all things agricultural.

Lovely fresh organic produce

 Things we didn't know existed

 

Our favorite goats from Goatboy Soaps. Goatboy not only makes the best soap on the planet, but they also make the best fudge. We know this for a fact - we've performed extensive taste tests.

 Various competitions of bovine, equine, canine and porcine varieties...

 Hand on ham

 Spiderman

 The carnival version of my typical work day:

 Things we didn't eat

A clear, blue sky

 A different perspective of the fairgrounds

 Self-portrait from the ferris wheel

 Sunflowers

 Dahlias

 Pie pumpkins

 The best beets in Connecticut

 A cornucopia of produce

 And another

 My lands, the tomatos!!

 Possibly my favorite vegetable:

 I do not like them, Sam, I am!

 Sign on the giant pumpkins: "make great boats"

 Where our will power gave in...

 ...and we ordered Cinnamon buns as big as our heads!
