New York State Fair

Ingrid and Grace start the long trek from the parking lot, over I-690 and other roads, to the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse. A LONG walk.
Grace needs a bit of a break after the walk was done. HEre she is with her poster and frame pack - all set for her demonstration - one at 10:30 and another at 2:30.

Really - it wasn't child abuse - she INSISTED to carry this 32 Pound pack from the FAR ORANGE LOT to the 4H building. We need to talk to our COUNTY EDUCATOR about the parking arrangements! She carried it all the way back at the end of the day too. We were tired - and actually, left a bit earlier than planned due to IRENE - we wanted to be sure to get home ahead of the rain and help David put some of the heavier stuff away. Canoes- grills - What would a fair be without suckling piglets! 12 on 1! WOWIE! It was cute - they wagged their little stumpie tails.

Fun Fun Fun Sugar - looking for Donna (her pet duck from, well - 50 years ago!). Sugar LOVES ducks!

Grace on the stage during her 1st presentation on the main stage.

Jack's quest was complete - he found the Gianelli stand - sausage and peppers. We parted from them around 2pm - I wonder if he had a SECOND HELPING before hitting the road! Sugar and the girls - walking about! While Jack was "feasting"!

Grace - checking the time to see if it's time to start her 2nd presentation!

Grace -doing her 2nd presentation!

OMG - Grace petting Wick - amazing - and a BEAUTIFUL horse.

Many thanks to Jack & Sugar for sharing Grace's presentations with us and this fun day at the New York State Fair!
