What is IT?
an ontario event that brings together agricultural folk from all over.
a bit of the CNE without the midway
A bit of the Royal winter fair without the animal judging
lots of educational stuff for kids
we went opening day ... and early
beat the school kids (BUSSES AND BUSSES of them!) to a lot of exhibits.
stayed from 8:30 to 5
thank goodness for the super duper zooper stroller!
a life saver in inches of MUD from yesterday's rain
and then just not having to carry all our Free Stuff
and fiona on my shoulders (with muddy boots - I knew it would be a bad idea with no stroller)
she loved the talking trout fish in the watershed tent. photo of the fish talking to fiona. he moved his body and mouth as the real professor in the booth who listened for questions and used a mike to answer them as the fish (not behind THAT curtain!) they did a great job dialoging with Fiona at the start of the day - she was the only one interested in the whole huge tent!, and then we HAD to go back as it was her fave part.
she rode up to the SKY in a huge hydro one truck lift. must have been 100 feet plus. photo of her in the bucket! my little adventure gal!
WE saw quilts by neighbours, a lumberjack show, egg sorting, spinning, she ground wheat to make muffins with (at home later), helped do weaving, saw lots of baby animals and big ones too, ate fresh apples, saw a parade, met Dalton McGuinty, saw steam engines, danced to music and fiddlers, - SO many fun things for the pair of us.
oh, and I saw plowing in the distance, but not for long. it was up in the hydro truck lift!
tell you more when we see you!
Blogger hates dial up!
I've tried for amost an hour to post photos - shortening the number, the size and it still times me out
UGGGGH
