Fun at the 2012 County Fair

Each year we enjoy checking out the Cleveland County fair to kick-off the fall season. It's always full of tractors, farm animals to pet and other unexpected agricultural fun.

This was one of Gray's favorite antique tractors. It has gray on it, of course! 

They added a car show this year and we were pumped to find a DeLorean, just like in the movie Back to the Future. It had California plates which had us wondering if it was an actual one used in the movie. If not, they had modified it to an exact replica.


It even had a flux capacitor...I checked.


Next up, it was Gray's turn to drive a tractor. 


Then it was on to his annual favorite, riding in a barrel train pulled behind a large riding lawn mower. 


We also went through the petting zoo, but there were so many kids I didn't have a chance to get my camera out. After that, we watched the antique tractor parade and then headed home.

It's free community events like this that make us so thankful for where we live. Everywhere we turned there were volunteers offering us free bottles of water and lots of fun activities for kids. It was also great to see so many families out enjoying the festivities and beautiful weather.
