Giraffes at the Fair ? 09/26/09









We heard the Rochester Fair was going on this past weekend and decided to check it out ! It was a large fairground with lots of rides, good food, games, arts and crafts, and animals ! We saw all the normal animals but were especially surprised to see giraffes there. We had never been that close to one before....they were very friendly and were not afraid to lean over and take food from you. The girls loved feeding them....the zebras and goats got food too.
There was a large pumpkin exhibit that was neat to see. A thousand pound pumpkin won first place ! The girls loved seeing them.... they also loved riding the rides. Their favorite of course was the merry go round and the caterpillar rollercoaster !!
The fair also featured a circus. It had many great acts such as the lady who can spin 100 hula hoops... the tightrope walker, the funny clown, the man who walks the spinning wheel and a lady who swings around on two long fabrics that draped to the ground. It was all amazing to watch. The fair was a great idea and it as a perfect Saturday for it ! :)
