The annual fair

Oxen at work Our annual agricultural fair is one of the first in the state, and it's a real community event. Honestly, you can't not come to the fair, at least, if you want to be able to look your friends and neighbors in the eye this year. They all know who was there... and who wasn't. I was there, and one of my all-time favorite events is the ox pull. These magnificently strong but surprisingly gentle beasts can drag enormous amounts of weight—in this case, more than 9.000 pounds—and it's really a sight to behold. Photograph, too.
